We are a U.S.-based founder-led operation running two growing businesses: a farm the owners built from the ground up and a law firm. Both are hands-on entrepreneurial and still early in building out their systems and processes.
The owners are growth-minded and deliberate about buying back their time so they can focus on sales and expansion rather than day-to-day operations. This is a business where the right person wont just execute tasks theyll help shape how the work gets done.
If you want a role where youre one of many cogs this isnt it. If you want to be the person the owners cant imagine operating without keep reading.
This role exists because the owners are doing too much of the operational and administrative work themselves which is capping how much time they can spend growing either business.

Youll be the operational glue: keeping the days organized making sure nothing slips and steadily absorbing more responsibility as trust builds.
Because both businesses are still building out their processes this is not a role where youll be handed a detailed playbook.
