Operations Manager

THE OPPORTUNITY

GBC is seeking an Operations Manager to own daily office operations and steering committee scheduling and support during an exciting period of organizational growth and change. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys delivering exceptional service and precise execution, makes sure nothing slips through the cracks, and is comfortable owning responsibilities and stepping in where needed without being told.

The Manager will ensure GBC's office runs smoothly day to day — from front-of-house and supply management to internal meeting and conference room readiness. The Manager will also own scheduling and logistics support for GBC's 16 steering committees, which are the primary vehicle for advancing GBC's Multi-Year Agenda on behalf of the region.

This role is part of a small, tight-knit Operations team — alongside the Executive Assistant, Events Manager, and Senior Manager of Operations — that works as a unit. Each person on the team has a defined area of ownership, but all are expected to flex and step in for one another when needed to keep the organization running smoothly and ensure staff benefit from a consistent level of support.

• Own scheduling and calendar logistics for all 16 GBC steering committees and related partner events, coordinating across Strategy, Business Investment, UpSurge, Partnerships, and Communications teams

• Coordinate cross-functionally to support preparation, logistics, and follow-through for steering committee meetings
• Manage data entry and recordkeeping to support steering committee tracking and reporting

• High school diploma or GED, at minimum, required;
  Bachelor's degree preferred
• 2+ years of experience in office management, operations, coordination, or a comparable role
• 2+ years of experience supporting scheduling and calendar management
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and timelines simultaneously without losing accuracy
