Job Description

Company Description

Aspire Commercial is a fast-growing commercial real estate brokerage and property management firm based in Houston. We are building a modern, content-driven CRE company that combines best-in-class service with media, technology, and operational excellence.

We move fast. We operate with urgency. We value clear communication, personal accountability, and follow-through.

As we scale, we are looking to fill this key role that will directly support the founder and unify the company’s internal operations.

Role Description

This is a full-time, on-site role for an Operations Manager in Houston, TX.

We are looking for a highly organized, execution-oriented Operations Manager who can translate ideas into action, ensure commitments get completed, and keep the company running smoothly day-to-day.

This role sits at the center of the organization. You will work directly alongside the founder and leadership team to manage priorities, coordinate projects, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

You are not an administrative assistant. You are not a task taker.

You are the person who creates order from chaos and makes the entire team sharper, faster, and more accountable.

What You Will Do

1. Drive Execution & Accountability

• Turn company goals, meetings, and priorities into clear action plans

• Ensure deadlines are met and commitments are followed through

• Track progress across departments and escalate issues before they become problems

• Hold team members accountable in a professional, consistent, and respectful way

• Serve as the operational heartbeat of the organization, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks

2. Lead the Overseas Operations Team

• Directly manage and guide Aspire’s overseas staff

• Delegate tasks, review deliverables, and ensure alignment with company standards

• Provide structure, clarity, and daily/weekly direction to offshore team members

• Ensure offshore work supports and accelerates major company initiatives

3. Own Company-Wide Initiatives

• Lead execution on the company’s most important strategic projects

• Work as an extension of the founder to move high-impact initiatives from concept to completion

• Coordinate cross-functional involvement, timelines, and deliverables

• Maintain visibility on all moving pieces and ensure forward momentum

• Bring order, structure, and clarity to fast-moving, high-level initiatives

4. Internal Communication & Coordination

• Serve as the hub between leadership, operations, marketing, and overseas teams

• Maintain full visibility into all major priorities and initiatives

• Prepare agendas, organize key discussions, and document decisions and next steps

• Ensure smooth communication flow between the CEO and the rest of the organization

5. Systems, Processes & Organizational Structure

• Help refine and maintain SOPs, workflows, and operational playbooks

• Create scalable processes that improve consistency and efficiency

• Ensure new systems and tools are adopted and used correctly

• Keep documents, data, and organizational knowledge structured and accessible

6. High-Level Executive Support

• Protect the founder's time by absorbing operational and project management responsibilities

• Help the founder stay focused on high-leverage work by taking ownership of execution

• Serve as a trusted right hand and strategic operator who brings ideas to life

Who You Are

You have these traits:

• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail

• Assertive, not afraid to professionally push people on deadlines

• Fast-moving and thrive in a high-urgency environment

• Process oriented, but adaptable when the situation changes

• Emotionally intelligent, strong communicator, and calm under pressure

• Proactive — you anticipate needs before they come up

• Reliable — if you say you’re going to do something, it gets done

• A finisher — projects do not sit half-complete around you

Your background might include:

• Operations Manager or Ops Coordinator at a small or mid-size company

• Chief of Staff or Executive Business Partner

• Project Manager or Program Manager

• Operations lead

• Senior EA with significant operations responsibilities

• EOS Integrator or someone familiar with accountability systems

You do not need commercial real estate experience (although it's a plus).

You do need strong operations instincts and the ability to execute.

Qualifications

• 3+ years experience in operational, project management, or chief-of-staff-style roles

• Experience working directly with founders or executives

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously

• Strong command of task management tools and workflows

• Comfortable holding others accountable to clear deadlines

• Must be based in Houston and available for in-person work (no exceptions)

Why This Role Matters

Aspire Commercial is entering its next phase of growth, and this role is central to creating the operational discipline, clarity, and structure needed to scale.

You will be the force that ensures:

• Projects get done

• Priorities stay clear

• The founder is supported

• The company runs clean

• Nothing slips through the cracks

This role is a high-impact, high-visibility opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to play a meaningful part in building a modern commercial real estate company.

Compensation & Benefits

This is a full-time, in-office position based in Houston.

We offer a competitive benefits package including health insurance, paid time off, and company holidays.

Compensation will be based on experience and tailored to the candidate’s background and capabilities.
