Job Description

The world has changed. Most agencies have not.

Traditional firms chase press without understanding influence. Go-direct social-first shops build audiences without earned credibility. Eden Communications was built to bridge both.

We help frontier technology companies — AI, fintech, crypto, capital markets, enterprise tech — earn trust where it matters and translate that credibility into lasting influence.

We’re a small, senior team. Former journalists. Frontier tech operators. New-media strategists. We move fast, challenge complacency, are obsessive about craft, and expect our people to think like owners.

We’re hiring a Director of Operations.

This is the person who builds and runs the operational backbone of Eden. A senior, high-autonomy role focused on translating strategy into executional reality, institutionalizing how the agency operates, and delivering operational leverage to leadership as the business scales.

Who we’re looking for:

  • Extremely detail-oriented
  • High-agency and self-starting
  • Obsessive about follow-through and execution
  • Calm under volume
  • A true professional in every interaction

You want:

  • Real ownership of how a growing agency runs—not checkbox operations
  • Direct partnership with the CEO, not layers of hierarchy
  • To build systems that scale, not just maintain existing ones
  • A seat at the table where strategy becomes action

You will:

  • Own systems architecture: build and maintain the SOPs, workflows, and rhythms that allow Eden to scale
  • Lead proposal coordination and business development operations
  • Own end-to-end execution of curated executive dinners, client convenings, and hosted events
  • Cross-account and internal project management
  • Calendar and travel management
  • Serve as the CEO’s primary operational leverage layer, taking day-to-day executional matters off the founder’s plate so leadership can focus on client strategy and business development
  • Assist CEO with in-house media operations including podcast guest booking, production and administration
  • Coordinate financial, administrative, and back-office operations across Eden’s distributed team
  • Partner with Eden’s automation and intelligence partners to embed AI and tooling across workflows, ensuring technology amplifies quality and speed without replacing judgment
  • Act as a conduit between Eden’s leadership and clients, ensuring continuous alignment, visibility, and communication

This role is ideal if you:

  • Have 5+ years in operations, business management, or agency operations
  • Have built and scaled operational systems in a growing, fast-paced organization
  • Understand the rhythms of agency work: retainer structures, client billing, proposal cycles, and resource planning
  • Have strong financial acumen—budgets, forecasting, P&L management
  • Are sharp, detail-oriented, and allergic to operational ambiguity

Ideal background:

  • Operations leadership at a tech, fintech, or comms agency
  • COO, Head of Ops, or senior operations role at a high-growth startup or professional services firm
  • Experience working with or within capital markets or digital asset companies
  • Background in agency financial operations, including familiarity with retainer models and client billing
  • Deep comfort with AI tools, automation platforms, and workflow optimization

Prior ops-title experience isn’t required. Judgment, attitude, and execution are what matter.

Why join us:

  • Small room, big stakes. You’ll own work that actually matters.
  • Senior-by-default team. No hand-holding, no bureaucracy, no filler roles.
  • Founder proximity. You’ll partner directly with the CEO.
  • High standards, real growth. You’ll get sharper here than at a traditional agency.
  • Built like a startup. We move quickly, iterate constantly, and expect ownership.
  • Clear opportunity for rapid compensation growth as the firm scales.
  • 401(k), health, dental, and vision benefits. Flexible PTO and long-term upside potential.

Compensation: $80K–130K base + performance upside
