Him Operations Manager Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

The Real Estate Operations Manager will serve as the day-to-day operational anchor for Griffin & Partners Real Estate. This person will oversee transaction timelines, coordinate team workflows, improve systems, and make sure important responsibilities continue moving without depending on the Team Lead to remember or personally manage every detail.

The right candidate will be comfortable working hands-on while also thinking strategically. Initially, they will learn the team’s current transaction, listing, communication, and administrative processes. From there, they will help define responsibilities, lead daily operational meetings, improve accountability, document procedures, and support the implementation of new AI-powered workflows.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys creating structure, taking ownership, solving problems, and helping a growing business operate more effectively.

Employment: Full-time, W-2
Compensation: Starting around $55,000 annually, plus a performance-based bonus opportunity. Final compensation will be based on experience and qualifications.
Schedule: Monday through Friday, with no routine weekend work intended
Location: In-office, Shelby Township, Michigan
Benefits: Group health plan available for employee buy-in, anticipated three weeks of vacation, paid sick leave, and professional growth opportunities
Reports to: CEO and Lead Agent, Chris Griffin

You may be a strong fit if you naturally notice what is missing, take responsibility for closing the gap, and do not wait for someone else to tell you every next step. You are comfortable being the person who knows where each transaction stands, what needs to happen next, and who is responsible for making it happen.

You can work with a fast-moving, visionary leader while bringing structure to ideas and conversations. You are willing to respectfully raise concerns, but your first instinct is to find a practical path forward. You enjoy helping people, but you are also capable of setting boundaries, addressing difficult situations, and creating accountability.

Most importantly, you want to become an important part of a team, not simply complete a list of tasks. This role offers the opportunity to influence how the business operates, help build scalable systems, and grow into broader operational leadership as Griffin & Partners continues to develop.
