What are the responsibilities and job description for the Operations Lead position at Philotimo-HR?
A growing service-based business expanding in the Gainesville area is seeking an Operations Lead to support day-to-day operations, team coordination, and local growth efforts.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who prefers to be close to the work — not just oversee it. You’ll play a key role in keeping operations running smoothly, supporting a small team, and helping build a strong presence in the local community.
The Role: This position blends operations, team support, and field involvement.
You can expect a mix of:
- Coordinating daily operations and schedules
- Supporting and guiding team members
- Solving day-to-day operational challenges
- Building relationships with customers and partners
- Stepping in to assist with field work when needed
This is not a purely office-based role — it requires flexibility, ownership, and a willingness to jump in where needed.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in operations, logistics, or service-based environments
- Comfortable leading people while staying hands-on
- Strong sense of ownership and accountability
- Ability to adapt in a fast-moving, evolving environment
- Good communication and organizational skills
- Community-oriented mindset
You should be comfortable with:
- Working both independently and with a small team
- Being outdoors at times and handling physical aspects of the job
- Managing shifting priorities and solving problems in real time
- Basic Requirements
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
- Ability to perform physical tasks as needed (including lifting up to 50 lbs)
- Willingness to work a flexible schedule, including early mornings when required
