Business Operations Coordinator
Mt. Mitchell Foods is looking for a smart, resourceful, and resilient person who can solve problems and keep up with a rapidly growing company.
This is not a quiet administrative position with a predictable daily routine. Priorities change quickly, expectations are high, and communication is direct. The right person will stay calm under pressure, accept candid feedback without taking it personally, and handle unexpected assignments without drama.
This role supports projects throughout the company as well as the daily needs of our leadership team. Responsibilities will range from coordinating meetings and travel to researching vendors, preparing reports, handling facility needs, running errands, and taking ownership of tasks that do not fit neatly into another department.
Responsibilities
- Support company projects and members of the leadership team
- Coordinate meetings, calendars, travel, appointments, and changing schedules
- Track assignments and follow up to ensure commitments are completed
- Research vendors, equipment, products, services, and business needs
- Prepare emails, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and reports
- Coordinate with employees, customers, vendors, contractors, and professional advisors
- Assist with purchasing, deliveries, reservations, facility needs, and errands
- Gather information across departments and keep projects moving
- Handle confidential business and personal information with discretion
- Take ownership of urgent, unexpected, or loosely defined assignments
- Assist with occasional personal tasks for members of leadership
What We Are Looking For
- Strong common sense, judgment, and practical life skills
- Emotionally steady and effective under pressure
- Comfortable with strong personalities and direct feedback
- Highly organized with excellent follow-through
- Resourceful and able to figure things out independently
- Able to manage multiple unrelated assignments at once
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Solid computer skills, including Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
- Comfortable learning new software and AI-based productivity tools
- Dependable, discreet, responsive, and willing to handle any reasonable task without ego
Three or more years of experience in business operations, executive support, office management, project coordination, hospitality, logistics, or another demanding environment is preferred. A specific degree is less important than maturity, resilience, and a demonstrated ability to get things done.
This position will not be a good fit for someone who needs every task clearly defined, becomes easily overwhelmed by changing priorities, avoids direct conversations, takes routine feedback personally, or requires constant reassurance.
Compensation and Benefits
- Salary of $60,000 to $75,000, based on experience and demonstrated capabilities
- Company-paid employee-only health insurance after 30 days
- Spouse and dependent coverage available at the employee’s expense
- Dental insurance available
- 401(k) with company matching after 30 days
- Two weeks of paid vacation
- Company-paid holidays
- Company-paid Life Time Fitness membership
Schedule and Location
This is a full-time, primarily in-person position supporting Mt. Mitchell Foods’ Charlotte-area operations. Some travel between company facilities and occasional schedule flexibility will be required. Reliable transportation and a valid drivers license is required.
