Office Manager

Do you enjoy keeping things organized, accurate, and running smoothly—while working in a fun, waterfront environment?
Are you someone who takes pride in being the calm, professional hub that keeps a busy operation afloat?

We are hiring an Office Manager to support the General Manager and Operations Manager by leading the administrative, financial, and customer‑facing office functions at a large, outdoor marina and waterfront service facility.
