Director of Executive Operations

Keller Executive Search is partnering with a steadily growing healthcare organization to appoint a Director of Executive Operations. This newly created, executive-facing role will serve as the trusted operational right hand to two owner-principals, translating their priorities into coordinated action across the business.

This is a Chief of Staff-level mandate, not a traditional administrative support position. The successful candidate will run the executive operating rhythm, strengthen performance visibility, drive cross-functional commitments to completion, and communicate the principals' direction accurately within clear decision-making guardrails. The role combines strategic coordination with hands-on ownership of reporting, meeting preparation, priority management, and selected executive support activities.

This is an opportunity to build an executive operations function and shape its processes during the first 90 days. Success will give the principals greater capacity to focus on long-term strategy, growth, acquisitions, and partnerships while ensuring that important initiatives remain aligned, timely, and accountable. The position offers meaningful autonomy, close exposure to ownership, and scope that can expand as trust and organizational needs develop.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and run the weekly leadership operating rhythm, including agendas, decision records, action owners, deadlines, and escalation paths
