The Company
We are 2+ years in and growing fast!

The Position
This is an exciting opportunity to help us continue to grow. The Office Manager position is without question a key role in the success of our business. It’s a challenging and rewarding position with good pay and (mostly) set hours. If you are a person that is able to help people, multi-task, organize and execute systems, keep yourself organized while tracking the details, then this role may be just right for you. As the administrative leader of our office, you will be the “voice” of the company as your voice will often be the first voice that customers, suppliers, and installation partners hear. You are also central to our staff, with every role requiring some collaboration with the Office leader. You’ll be setting appointments, managing schedules, coordinating installations, supporting the team, assisting with bookkeeping and marketing, and performing other critical administrative functions.
The Fit
People who succeed in this role are those with a warm and pleasant demeanor who enjoy administrative tasks and are driven to provide a great experience to our customers. They are good listeners and welcome frequent interruptions while performing their work. People who have a pleasant telephone presence and demeanor, have strong attention to detail, can learn new things, and are personable and pleasant are prime candidates for success in this role, no matter what their background is. While knowledge of home service businesses is desirable, it is not required.
