Office Manager

#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | OFFICE MANAGER | CONSTRUCTION | Kansas City Metro

A well-established commercial general contractor is hiring an Office Manager to run the business side of a small, tight-knit office. This is the hub role: you keep the books clean in QuickBooks, carry payroll and HR, support the owner directly, and keep projects and the office running without being asked twice. If you are the person who already quietly runs the office you are in, and you want one seat where your judgment actually matters, this is that seat.
