Block by Block is seeking to hire an Operations Supervisor to provide oversight of our Ambassador Team.

Our Ambassador programs make communities and Downtown Business Improvement Districts much friendlier, cleaner, and safer. This, in turn, increases the number of visitors, businesses, and residents, which ultimately increases revenue and livability.

Specific daily responsibilities of the Operations Supervisor may include:

  • Coordinate recruitment and selection of candidates. Onboarding and training of all new Ambassadors. Create a culture that would make everyone want to join your team!
  • Continual adjustments to the deployment of resources to match changing needs. This includes resources of the "human kind." Basically, redeploying according to daily needs.
  • Continual problem identification and solving to improve the quality of the program. Problem solving is a very big part of what we do. (We need an innovator to lead our team.)
  • Purchasing and inventory of supplies and equipment.
  • Reporting outcomes through a variety of reporting channels (This means spreadsheets, Kronos, Timekeeping, Budgets...you get the idea.)

  • You have supervised teams in the past.

  • You have a "a little dirt never hurt anybody" mindset. (You're going to get dirty a lot)

  • If you are inflexible and can't work outside of a M-F 9-5 position when necessary

  • Like to sit at a desk and file papers all day, because this is not that job.
