"For thou art my Rock and my Fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me." - Psalm 31:3
First Things First: A Message From Above (Literally)
Before we posted this ad, we asked God what He wanted for it. He led us to Psalm 51 - King David's prayer for forgiveness and renewal. If you're wondering what a 3,000-year-old psalm has to do with landscape design or office management, stick around. We're the kind of company that sees the connection between clean hearts and clean books, between renewed spirits and renewed systems.
Psalm 51 (KJV)
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.
And cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:
And my sin is ever before me.
And my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight:
That thou mightiest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
That thou mightiest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;
And in sin did my mother conceive me.
And in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:
And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;
That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins,
And blot out all mine iniquities.
And blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;
And renew a right spirit within me.
And renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence;
And take not thy holy spirit from me.
And take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
And uphold me with thy free spirit.
And uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
And sinners shall be converted unto thee.
And sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation:
And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips;
And my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
And my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it:
Thou delightest not in burnt offering.
Thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:
Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:
Then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Who We Are (Spoiler: We Build Dreams & Dig Holes)
We're Cross Creek Landscape Design Build - a growing North Idaho/WA company that transforms backyards into resort-style sanctuaries. Think six-figure outdoor living spaces, peaceful water features, and fire pits that make s'mores taste even better.
But here's the real dirt (landscape pun intended): We're building something bigger than beautiful yards. We're creating a business that honors God, serves families with excellence, and somehow manages to make QuickBooks exciting. Okay, maybe not exciting, but at least manageable.
The Plot Twist: We Need a Hero
Our accounting system hasn't been reconciled properly in... checks calendar... let's just say "too long." We have auto-feeds creating duplicate entries like they're multiplying loaves and fishes (but less miraculous and more frustrating). Our systems need someone who looks at chaos and thinks, "Challenge accepted."
Enter you: The Office Manager who will lead our Business & HR Department into the promised land of organizational excellence.
Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)
Systems Architecture (60% of your time)
- Transform our operational chaos into symphonies of efficiency
- Build workflows that connect our office, design team, and field crews like a beautiful hardscape pattern
- Create documentation so clear, even our excavator could follow it
- Prepare our systems for AI integration in 2026 (yes, we're going full sci-fi)
- Find and implement software that makes our team say "Where has this been all my life?"
Financial Excellence (25% of your time)
- Lead the Great Accounting Cleanup of 2025
- Make friends with our banking relationships (they're nice people, we promise)
- Create financial dashboards that make Randy (our owner) smile
- Manage contractor relationships while they help us catch up (unlimited coffee budget for this task)
- Turn job costing from mysterious art into precise science
People Leadership (10% of your time)
- Support HR functions with room to grow into full HR management
- Foster a workplace culture where faith and fun coexist
- Future potential: Lead other team members as we expand (cape optional but encouraged)
- Daily Operations (5% of your time)
- Greet clients with the warmth of a North Idaho summer
- Keep office stocked (yes, good snacks are a ministry)
- Answer communications faster than our crews can dig a foundation
- Maintain an office so organized, Marie Kondo would weep with joy
You're Our Person If You:
Have These Superpowers:
- Experience: You've conquered administrative mountains before

- Tech Savvy: You speak fluent business software, project management tools, and communication platforms
- Systems Thinking: You see patterns where others see pandemonium
- AI Curious: You're excited, not scared, about our 2026 tech plans

- Communication Champion: You respond to emails before people realize they sent them
- Faith-Filled: You see work as worship and excellence as evangelism
- Foster Care Heart: Bonus points if you share our team's calling to support foster children
This ISN'T For You If:
- You need someone looking over your shoulder constantly (Randy's in the field, you'll fly solo)
- The phrase "building systems from scratch" makes you break out in hives
- You think "good enough" is actually good enough
- You prefer working in a cubicle farm over a faith-based family atmosphere
- You can't find joy in bringing order to chaos
The Compensation Package (AKA: The Goods)
- Salary: $55k-75k (depends on how much expertise you bring)
- Schedule: Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm (weekends are for church and rest)
- Benefits: Package options coming Summer 2026 (we're building this too!)
-
Perks:
