Administrative Operations Manager (In-Home)

Pen Mfg, West Hollywood, CA, United States


Administrative Operations Manager (In-Home)
This role supports work across multiple entities, primarily focused on

Industrial Succession , not Pen Manufacturing.

Industrial Succession

is a long term holding company focused on acquiring and operating small to mid sized industrial businesses in the United States.
