About Your Startup Operations:

- Ownership: Take full accountability and responsibility for your role.
- Resourcefulness: Use all available resources to solve challenges or answer questions.
- Excellence: Deliver high-quality work and exceptional results.
Who You Are:
- You are the kind of person who keeps things running before anyone has to ask: organized by default, proactive by nature.
- You are comfortable on the phone. Not just okay with it, you actually enjoy talking to people and know how to make them feel taken care of.
- You have worked closely with a small business owner or founder and understand what it means to own a role, not just fill one.
- You have some background in construction, real estate development, or a related field, or you have picked it up quickly and can speak to it specifically.
- You do not wait to be told what to do. If something is slipping, you catch it. If the calendar is a mess, you fix it.
- You are detail-oriented. Hint: On your first interview, mention which SCORE value you most align with at the end of the interview for huge bonus points.

- Must have a reliable backup internet connection.
- Experience with CRM tools and comfortable learning new software.
- Construction or real estate development background is a strong plus.
Responsibilities:
- Serve as the first point of contact for clients: answer and return phone calls, handle inbound inquiries, and make a great first impression every time.
- Book estimates and coordinate site visits for the owner to go assess and bid projects.
- Follow up on old leads and keep the pipeline moving.
- Manage the owner's calendar and help him stay on track day to day.
- Turn owner-provided site measurements and notes into quotes and proposals.
- Create and optimize routes for field visits (grouping locations efficiently).
- Coordinate foremen and temp labor: communicate with staff, confirm crew availability, and make sure jobs are covered.
- Keep things organized behind the scenes so the business runs smoothly even when the owner is unavailable.
