Director of Operations

Elifinrealty, Baton Rouge, LA, United States


Director of Operations Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Type: Full-Time, In-Person

Reports to: Integrator

ABOUT ELIFIN ELIFIN is a high-output, high-discipline commercial real estate brokerage built around action, truth, and opportunity. We move fast, stay on offense, and operate with a level of accountability that raises people's standards. We build producers, we make great deals, and we win as a team.

ELIFIN sells more commercial property in Louisiana than any other brokerage.

The operations side of this business is what makes everything else possible, and we need someone who takes that seriously.

THE ROLE: DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS The Director of Operations owns the full operational engine of ELIFIN. That means the back office, transaction management, property marketing, office administration, incoming leads, agent support, platform management, and the team of people responsible for all of it.

This is not a distance-leadership role. You're in it. You're accountable for outcomes, not just oversight. You set the standard. You run the systems we have and build new systems to take us to the next level. You make sure nothing falls through the cracks, and when something does, you own it and fix it.

You'll lead a team of support staff and you'll be the person who makes sure our agents have everything they need to perform, our offices are client-ready, our processes are airtight, and our deadlines are always met.

Manage platform accounts, system access, and tools across the company

5. Incoming Lead Management

Oversee the management of incoming calls and leads
