Executive Operations Manager

FamilyMade · Nashville, TN, USA ·

Pay:
90.000 - 130.000
Job type:
Full Time

This isn't your typical Executive Operations Manager role.

It's an opportunity to become a trusted partner behind the scenes of a growing family of businesses alongside Andrew and me.

Our world includes media, podcasts, YouTube, books, brand partnerships, investments, live events, speaking engagements, and a variety of entrepreneurial ventures. Every week looks different, and that's exactly what makes this role exciting.

One day you might be coordinating a national brand partnership. The next, preparing for a podcast recording, organizing a book launch, planning travel, building a presentation deck, supporting a live event, or helping one of our businesses move an important project across the finish line.

We're looking for someone who thrives in the middle of organized chaos.

Someone who loves bringing order to complexity, solving problems before they become problems, building systems that scale, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. This role is about far more than managing calendars—it's about helping us build meaningful businesses while allowing our family to stay focused on what matters most.

What You'll Do

Manage executive calendars, travel, scheduling, and day-to-day logistics

Coordinate brand partnerships, sponsorship campaigns, and external relationships

Keep projects moving across our podcast, YouTube channels, books, newsletters, and social media

Communicate with agencies, publishers, managers, partners, vendors, and our internal team

Prepare presentations, reports, research, meeting agendas, and follow-up materials

Support product launches, live events, speaking engagements, and special projects

Help oversee operational needs across our portfolio of businesses and investments

Build systems, workflows, SOPs, and internal documentation that help our team operate more effectively

Assist with social media scheduling and reporting

Serve as a trusted thought partner who helps anticipate needs and solve problems before they arise.

We're Looking for Someone Who

Is exceptionally organized and detail-oriented

Loves building systems and creating order

Thrives in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment

Is proactive, resourceful, and enjoys figuring things out

Can juggle multiple priorities without losing attention to detail

Communicates with professionalism, warmth, and urgency

Exercises excellent judgment and can be trusted with highly confidential information

Is adaptable and enjoys wearing many different hats

Shares our values of integrity, humility, curiosity, excellence, and putting family first

*Experience in supporting founders, executives, creators, or startups is a plus—but mindset matters more than a perfect résumé.

More than anything, we're looking for someone who wants to build something meaningful with a small, close-knit team. We care deeply about doing excellent work, but we care even more about the people we get to build it with.

We can't wait to meet you.

— Shawn Johnson East & Andrew East
