We’re looking for a high energy, fast paced senior business administrator to help make sure that our business runs smoothly. We use the EOS model, popularized in the book “Traction” by Gino Wickman. This role would be responsible for continuously and steadily keeping us on track and applying the principles of Traction day to day. This isn’t just an executive or office manager role- it’s a role that helps run our business, day in and day out.
There are 6 key components to any business: vision, data, traction (meetings), process, issues and right people/right seats. This role is the glue that establishes these principles, keeps us humming along and serves as the champion for Traction day to day.
