Gold River Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Yutori Method™ is managing the recruitment for this role.

This is a full-time, in-person position based in Gold River, CA. Candidates must be able to commute daily to the office/off-site events in the local area.

This role supports the Principal's holding companies, a portfolio of businesses spanning real estate, lending, investments, and related ventures, with Optimus Capital serving as the largest and most established operating company.

While each business has its own focus, they are united by a shared vision for growth, operational excellence, and long-term value creation. As the portfolio continues to expand, the organization is investing in the leadership infrastructure needed to create greater alignment, scalability, and execution across the enterprise.

The Chief Operating Officer will partner directly with the Principal to provide operational leadership across the broader portfolio—ensuring priorities are aligned, execution remains coordinated, and each company benefits from a cohesive strategic direction while supporting the continued growth of the overall enterprise.

This is an opportunity to become the CEO's closest strategic operating partner and the trusted translator between a highly visionary founder and the rest of the organization.

As Chief Operating Officer, you will serve as the operational counterpart to the CEO, helping transform ideas into clear priorities, coordinated execution, and measurable business outcomes. A significant part of your role will be understanding not only what the CEO is saying, but what he means—bringing clarity to complex ideas, ensuring teams are aligned around the broader vision, and amplifying his leadership throughout the organization.

You will act as the CEO's whisperer and organizational interpreter, creating the systems, operating rhythms, and accountability that allow the business to execute with confidence while preserving the speed and creativity that make the company successful.

This role is ideal for a leader who naturally sees both the big picture and the operational details—someone who thrives on creating alignment, building organizational clarity, developing leaders, and ensuring the entire company is moving in the same direction with purpose and momentum.

This role is designed for someone who naturally becomes the operational counterpart to visionary leaders. You excel at listening beneath the surface, translating evolving ideas into organizational clarity, and ensuring teams understand not only what needs to happen, but why.
