Executive Operations Coordinator (2 Positions)

ExitBliss helps minority, women-owned, and emerging small businesses build the operational systems they need to compete for and deliver on real contracts. We are a Pacific Northwest consulting firm with DBE, WBE, MBE, and ESB certifications, growing from a founder-led practice into a structured organization that can serve more businesses without losing the relationships and quality that built us. We are hiring up to two Executive Operations Coordinators to work directly alongside our senior leadership team. These are not task-execution roles. You will be the person who ensures that the ideas, commitments, and priorities generated by the people leading this company actually become reality — without losing the relationships, the quality standards, or the human connection that makes the work matter. Who You Are You are the person others rely on to keep things moving without being asked. You pay attention to what people need, not just what they say. You are energized by supporting someone else's success rather than building your own spotlight. You bring consistency and follow-through to environments that move fast, and you do it without slowing things down or adding unnecessary process. You are comfortable working with people whose style is very different from yours. You don't need to control the direction — you need to understand it, organize around it, and make sure nothing important falls through the gaps. When things get ambiguous, you stay steady. When priorities shift, you adjust without drama. When someone's plate is full, you're already thinking about what you can take off it. You lead through relationships and consistency, not through authority or process for its own sake. You care about getting things right, but you care equally about the people doing the work. What the Work Involves You will coordinate across projects, people, and priorities to support the executive team's ability to lead without being buried in operational detail. This includes managing communication flow, tracking commitments and deliverables, coordinating with team members and external partners, maintaining accountability systems, and ensuring that quality standards are met across active work. You will work closely with our senior leaders, our client services team, and our external consultants and partners. What We Value We value people who think of their team as "we." We value honest communication over polished presentation. We value someone who will tell us when something isn't working before it becomes a problem. We value follow-through over initiative — we have plenty of ideas; we need someone who makes them happen. We are building something that matters, and we want to work with people who feel that. Rate and Structure This is a flat weekly engagement, not hourly. Please enter your desired hourly rate based on a 15-hour week — this tells us your weekly rate request (your hourly rate × 15). The successful candidate will receive a consistent weekly amount. The scope will range from 10 to 20 hours in any given week, with 15 hours as the baseline. We are focused first on finding the right person — the right fit for this team and this work. We will work together to ensure the engagement is fair and sustainable for both sides. Some overlap with US Pacific time is expected for team coordination, though the role does not require full-time Pacific hours.
