About the role
- AURA is seeking a highly capable Operations Manager to serve as a right hand to our Head of Operations and help run the day-to-day operations of a growing government contractor that is actively scaling into the commercial market.
- This is a broad, hands-on role built on strong project management, sharp organization, and a willingness to learn.
- We are looking for someone smart and adaptable who can absorb complex tasking across multiple areas, bring structure to it, and execute - the kind of person who becomes more valuable the more they take on.
Responsibilities
- Support day-to-day operational, HR, and administrative needs of the business, working hand in hand with internal teams and external partners.
- Coordinate talent operations: track staffing requirements, support recruiting, and coordinate new-hire onboarding and paperwork. Administer general HR processes in consultation with Executive Operations and the Head of Operations.
- Support the contracts lifecycle - review, administration, tracking, and close-out for both government and commercial agreements - and support proposal development and coordination (schedule management, compliance reviews, costing inputs, and supporting documentation).
- Project-manage IT and security initiatives in coordination with our external MSP and IT partners, helping keep work on scope, schedule, and deliverables.
- Support AURA's compliance and security efforts - including cybersecurity and CMMC readiness - partnering with our compliance lead, IT team, and external MSP. This is a supporting role
- you'll help coordinate and track the work, not own the program.
- Serve as a backup to Executive Operations on procurement, accounts payable, NDAs, and export compliance, providing support as needed.
- Help identify operational gaps and inefficiencies, and support process and policy improvements as the company grows.
- Pitch in across functions as needed - at a company our size, everyone helps wherever the team needs support, regardless of whose lane it technically falls in.
- Strong project management skills, with a proven ability to run cross-functional initiatives and coordinate external vendors and partners (such as an MSP) to deliverables.
Requirements
- 5+ years of progressive operations, business-management, or program-coordination experience.
- A demonstrated ability to learn new domains quickly and translate requirements into repeatable practice.
- Experience across people operations and general HR - recruiting, onboarding, and supporting staff.
- Sound judgment under ambiguity - you know when to act independently and when to escalate.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint
- comfort with project management, HR, and travel & expense systems.
- U.S. Citizenship required.
- Familiarity with GovCon and/or commercial operating environments
- Relevant certifications (e.g., PMP) or experience with tools like Concur, Smartsheet, and CRM systems.
- Coordinate companywide training, engagement, and recognition - delivering operational and required training, closing gaps, running the employee recognition program, and supporting company engagement.
