ABOUT THE ROLE

As the Operations & Technical Manager at MDS, you will sit at the intersection of operations, systems, and execution. Your role is to ensure the entire organization runs smoothly by leading our internal tech team, maintaining and improving the systems that power MDS, and supporting every department with operational clarity, KPIs, hiring support, and process structure.

You’ll oversee automation workflows, system integrations, AI-driven tooling, project execution, and technical troubleshooting across platforms like Go High Level, Airtable, Zapier/Make, Softr, ClickUp, and more. At the same time, you’ll play a pivotal operational role—helping teams define and track KPIs, maintain SOPs, streamline communication, and execute cross-departmental projects with consistency and discipline.

This is a hands-on, hybrid technical–operations leadership role for someone who thrives in problem solving, systems thinking, and helping teams operate at their highest potential.

ABOUT YOU

You are both technically capable and operationally strong. You understand how systems, workflows, data, and teams fit together—and you naturally step into the space where structure, clarity, and execution are needed.

You’re comfortable leading a small technical team, prioritizing projects, guiding builds, and ensuring that automations, integrations, and dashboards run correctly. You can troubleshoot issues in tools like Make, Airtable, ClickUp, and GHL; read or write lightweight scripts; and understand APIs, webhooks, and AI agents well enough to guide others and keep builds on track.

At the same time, you excel in the operational domain—helping departments define clear KPIs, maintaining reporting structures, supporting hiring processes, creating and updating SOPs, and ensuring consistent execution across the company.

You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical teammates, stay organized, and take ownership without waiting for direction. You bring reliability, accountability, and calm problem solving to a fast-paced environment—and you elevate the performance of the teams around you.
