What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Operations aka Person that Keeps it all Together position at Keller Williams Real Estate?
We’re looking for a highly organized, tech-savvy, detail-loving Director of Operations to run the operational side of our growing real estate team — while everyone else is out selling houses and pretending everything magically works. The Director of Operations will manage day-to-day business operations, oversee team performance, and ensure efficiency in processes.
In other words: Secretly enjoys spreadsheets, systems, and turning complicated processes into smooth operations, making sure the entire operation doesn’t fall apart.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in organized chaos, loves systems and efficiency, and has the magical ability to keep multiple projects, people, and moving pieces aligned behind the scenes, without losing their sanity.
If Tech and AI scare you, keep scrolling.
If color-coded spreadsheets, streamlined processes, and turning “we should probably do that” into an actual system - excites you… keep reading.
- Act as the communication hub between agents, admin, and leadership — translating ideas, reminders, into actual action.
- Helping onboard new team members (profiles, systems, training, passwords… and answering the same questions at least twice).
- Preparing for meetings, events, and marketing plans so they actually happen instead of just being “great ideas.”
- Analytical Skills for assessing data, making informed decisions, assisting with document prep, contracts, and marketing materials — because details matter and paperwork doesn’t magically complete itself.
- Find the breakdowns & Build systems to implement, automate, and track operations and marketing to enhance operational efficiency — because sticky notes are not strategies.
- Coordinating partnerships and events with local businesses so we look organized, professional, and occasionally impressive.
- Helping maintain team accountability — which mostly means gently reminding adults to do the things they said they would do.
- Managing budgets, office supplies, and agent/client gifts so the office runs smoothly and nobody runs out of coffee, champagne or closing gifts.
- Handling inquiries and the database so information stays organized instead of living in 14 different inboxes and someone’s memory.
The Person Who Will Thrive Here:
- Naturally take ownership and lead from behind the scenes
- Understands that big ideas are great… but systems are what make them real.
- Learn new systems quickly and enjoy figuring things out
- Are extremely organized and notice details most people miss
- Comfortable teaching your AI bot.
- Understands Branding means the same font consistently.
- Looks and Communicates clearly, professionally, and directly
- Can manage multiple projects, people, and priorities without dropping the ball
- If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “This would run so much better if someone just organized it properly,” you may be exactly who we’re looking for.
- Commitment to high-quality service, communications and standards
If you enjoy being the person who actually makes things happen, keeps everyone organized, and occasionally saves the day behind the scenes — we’d love to meet you.
