The Executive Operations Manager sits at the center of the organization, helping leadership stay aligned, organized, and focused on execution. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on creating structure, managing competing priorities, improving systems, and ensuring things get done.

• Support leadership meetings, planning sessions, and organizational initiatives
• Maintain SharePoint resources, internal documentation, and operational systems
• Support certifications, compliance documentation, procurement registrations, and renewals
• Coordinate employee onboarding and operational logistics
• Track key projects, deadlines, and organizational priorities
• Identify operational gaps and recommend process improvements

• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Proactive and solutions-focused
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously
• Strong in written and verbal communication
• Professional, responsive, and dependable
• Able to maintain confidentiality and exercise sound judgment
• Passionate about operational excellence and continuous improvement

• Bachelor’s degree required
• 5 years of experience supporting executive leadership, operations, project coordination, or organizational administration
• Experience in consulting, professional services, government, nonprofit, or other fast-paced environments preferred
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, Teams, Excel, PowerPoint, and Share Point
• Experience with CRM systems, onboarding, compliance documentation, or procurement platforms is a plus

JKA offers a competitive compensation package, including:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k)
• Profit-sharing opportunities
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Professional development support

This is an opportunity to work directly with executive leadership while helping build the operational infrastructure of a growing consulting and advisory firm. You will play a meaningful role in strengthening systems, improving organizational effectiveness, and supporting high-impact public sector initiatives.
