Get paid to be a boss and support humans in living their dream lives!

If it sounds like a dream come true to be a boss without… ya know, BEING the boss (aka entrepreneur taking on all the responsibilities)… while working from home in your yoga pants…Keep reading!

You’re probably in a place in your career where you’re feeling undervalued and not able to fully step into the potential and expertise that you have. You might be working for a large organization and feeling like a number, working for a business where you don’t align with the big vision they have (like what does selling paper clips have to do with helping the world?), or you’re trying to run your own business and feeling burnt out by having to wear so many freaking hats. Ahhh.

The life-changing work you thought you’d be doing when you started your career? Well… you’re wondering when you’re going to finally get to a place where you feel fulfilled and like you’re making a true difference with your specific experience and expertise. You’re lacking a real sense of purpose and passion in your day-to-day, and you know you were meant for more!

You know that people matter. You love working with people and supporting them towards big goals… managing brings you a ton of joy. It’s like coaching and supporting big potential for people, and you’re craving not only that responsibility in a career, but to see the impact that your managing and systems brain can do when it’s given the opportunity to thrive in the right job role (and company!)

Imagine being able to step up and manage a team of passionate humans where you’re all empowered to make big things happen inside the company and in your personal lives. A job where you have the autonomy and agency to lead projects, see your creative ideas come to life, and collaborate directly with the CEO to bring the big visions to life. What if your days were filled with this fulfilling work, where you can end each day closing your laptop knowing you made a big difference and have that sense of accomplishment?

You also know that running and growing your own business is not for you long term. That intra-preneur life is calling you! While you love the spirit of the entrepreneur, the daily stressors that come with this are something you’re not wanting to take on. Making a solid paycheck and loving the work you do day in and day out sounds amazing!

At the Aligned Business™, we are all about supporting both our clients and our teams to literally live the life of their dreams. We are looking for a passionate Operations Manager to support the Aligned Business™ team as well as support us with the systems and operations to run the business in an organized and optimized way.

This is no ordinary management job, and we are not looking for an ordinary human! You know that people are the heart of any business and you’re ready to step up and support in a big way (While also living YOUR aligned life outside of work!) You’re excited to be a boss every day while getting paid to do what comes naturally to you — managing, optimizing processes, and organizing details. 

About Pinegate Road & The Aligned Business™, and how you will be working within the business:

You’re a detail-oriented people person with a passion for supporting (and managing) others. You love mentoring and leading others to live their best lives, and also work towards big goals together. Being the glue between the big ideas, and the details that make it all come to life feels especially exciting to you. Seeing how all the little details when done and managed in a unique way can come together to make BIG things happen (in life or business) brings you so much joy! You’re a go-getter that wants to see and feel the impact they are making on people and a growing business each and every day. You’re craving the ability to work in a company where you have the creative freedom to bring your ideas to the table, the agency to implement the ideas, and manage the team to make them allllll happen.

You’re looking to work for a company that values you as a human being and helps create alignment between your life and career. Loving your day-to-day and doing meaningful work is important to you. Do you love systems, processes, and people?
