Studio Operations Manager Jobs in Providence, RI

The Office Coordinator keeps Red House Design Build's office, finances, and front door running so the rest of the team can deliver a world-class client experience. The role exists to make the company's daily operations dependable and its financial records accurate — quiet work that, done well, lets everyone else focus on the project. The company core values of Care, Clarity, and Trust are visible at every interaction.

The Office Coordinator protects the integrity of its financial records and the professionalism of its physical and client-facing presence. This is an execution role — while it does not set financial policy or make vendor, compensation, or strategic decisions, it is trusted to enter data accurately, process payments on time, coordinate client invoices accurately, and exercise first-line judgment about what to resolve and what to escalate to the Finance, HR & Admin Manager. Excellence looks like clean books, a guest-ready studio, and clients and vendors who feel cared for at every touchpoint.
