Operations Manager / Business Growth

About the role

Marine Elements LLC is hiring an Operations Manager / Business Growth lead to work directly with upper management and the broader team in a high-trust, high-ownership role. This is a hybrid role based in Miami, splitting time between the office and remote work, in close daily contact with the Founder/CEO, leadership, and staff.

This is not a traditional operations coordinator role, and not a narrow admin role. It combines day-to-day operations management, process building, vendor/partner management, and hands-on growth execution: pricing, marketing follow-through, new revenue channels, and scaling what already works.

The right person is extremely smart, organized, coachable, discreet, and relentless about getting things done. You'll work from leadership's priorities and turn them into running systems and measurable growth, coordinating closely with the team responsible for day-to-day execution. You're expected to think, ask good questions, flag issues, and give input when it helps but once a direction is set, your job is to build it, run it, and push it forward until it's producing results.

What you'll do

• Own day-to-day operations: vendors, logistics, inventory, contractors, and outside partners
• Build and run simple systems (trackers, SOPs, checklists) so operations scale without breaking
• Work directly with upper management and the team to translate priorities into clear projects, deadlines, owners, and next steps
• Identify and execute on business growth opportunities — new customers, new channels, pricing, partnerships, marketing follow-through
• Track performance: revenue, costs, utilization, customer pipeline, and other key numbers that show what's working
• Follow up relentlessly and professionally with employees, vendors, and partners until tasks are completed
• Serve as a connective point between leadership and the team — keeping both sides aligned on priorities and progress
• Prepare summaries, trac
