Company Description
Aspire CRE is a fast-growing commercial real estate brokerage and property management firm based in Houston. We are building a modern, content-driven CRE company that combines best-in-class service with media, technology, and operational excellence.
We move fast. We operate with urgency. We value clear communication, personal accountability, and follow-through.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional operations role. This is a chance to be the right hand to the founder of a fast-growing company. You will help run the business, drive critical initiatives, and grow into a long-term leadership position.
We are looking for a hungry, organized, execution-obsessed operator who thrives in a high-urgency environment and is ready to take full ownership of making the company run better every single day.
What You Will Do
Support the Founder
- Protect the founder’s time by absorbing operational and project management responsibilities
- Come to the founder with solutions, not problems
- Be the connective tissue between the founder, brokers, property managers, and the overseas team
- Manage vendors, HR, office operations, and anything else the business needs
Run Day-to-Day Operations
- Serve as the operational hub of the company. The person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks
- Turn founder priorities, meetings, and goals into clear action plans with real deadlines
- Hold yourself and others accountable in a professional, direct, and consistent way
- Put out fires, solve problems, and prevent future ones by improving the systems behind them
Drive High Impact Initiatives
- Own the execution of our most important company projects from start to finish
- Continuously improve and expand our HubSpot CRM platform – optimizing pipelines, driving adoption, and unlocking new capabilities to fuel business growth
- Manage and optimize Monday.com as our central project management system
- Build and refine SOPs, workflows, and operational playbooks that scale with the company
Lead Our Overseas Operations Team
- Directly manage Aspire’s overseas staff located in the Philippines, India, Pakistan, and beyond
- Delegate work, review deliverables, and maintain quality control so mistakes never reach the founder
- Recruit, onboard, and train new overseas team members as we continue to grow the team
- Treat the overseas team as a core competitive advantage – because it is one
Who You Are
You have worked with a founder or CEO at a small, fast-growing company. You know what that environment feels like – the pace, the ambiguity, and constant context switching – and you thrive in it.
You are:
- A finisher. Projects do not sit half-complete around you
- Assertive. You professionally push people on deadlines without being told to
- Proactive. You anticipate problems before they come up
- Scrappy. You figure things out
- Detail-oriented. You catch mistakes and enforce quality standards
- Reliable. If you say you’re going to do something, it gets done
- Tech-forward. You embrace leveraging tools like HubSpot, Monday.com, and AI to work smarter
- No ego. No job is too small if it moves the company forward
Your Background Might Include
- Operations or chief of staff role at a small or fast-growing company
- Direct experience supporting a founder, owner, or CEO
- Experience managing remote or overseas teams
- Familiarity with accountability-based operating systems
- Project management, HR operations, or process improvement experience
Commercial real estate experience is a plus but is NOT required. Operations instincts and the ability to execute are what matter.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in operations, chief of staff, or founder-support roles
- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously without dropping the ball
- Strong written and verbal communication
- Comfortable holding others accountable to deadlines
- Strong command of project management and CRM tools
- Must be based in Houston, TX and available for full-time, in-person work – no exceptions
Why this Role Matters
Aspire CRE is entering its next phase of growth. This role exists because the founder needs a true operational partner – someone who can run operations so he can focus on growth.
You will not be a coordinator or an assistant. You will be the operator who keeps the company running, growing and winning – and you will be rewarded accordingly as we scale.
Compensation & Benefits
This is a full-time, in-office position based in Houston, TX.
We offer a competitive salary commensurate with experience, performance-based upside tied to predetermined objectives and company growth, health insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid time off, and company holidays.
