Keller Executive Search is partnering with a steadily growing healthcare organization to appoint a Director of Executive Operations. This newly created, executive-facing role will serve as the trusted operational right hand to two owner-principals, translating their priorities into coordinated action across the business.
This is a Chief of Staff-level mandate, not a traditional administrative support position. The successful candidate will run the executive operating rhythm, strengthen performance visibility, drive cross-functional commitments to completion, and communicate the principals' direction accurately within clear decision-making guardrails. The role combines strategic coordination with hands-on ownership of reporting, meeting preparation, priority management, and selected executive support activities.

Success will give the principals greater capacity to focus on long-term strategy, growth, acquisitions, and partnerships while ensuring that important initiatives remain aligned, timely, and accountable. The position offers meaningful autonomy, close exposure to ownership, and scope that can expand as trust and organizational needs develop.
Key Responsibilities
Establish and run the weekly leadership operating rhythm, including agendas, decision records, action owners, deadlines, and escalation paths
Translate the principals' priorities and decisions into coordinated cross-functional execution
Track leadership commitments, address blockers, and drive work to verified completion without relying on formal authority
Own priority calendar management, communication triage, meeting preparation, and executive follow-through
Produce weekly revenue, activity, and KPI dashboards and consolidate departmental reporting into a clear executive view
Prepare monthly review packages and proactively identify anomalies, risks, dependencies, and delayed initiatives
Draft concise internal communications that accurately reflect each principal's voice and intent
Serve as a discreet liaison among the principals, functional leaders, employees, and selected external stakeholders
Lead approved special initiatives from definition through implementation and measurable completion
Bridge coordination gaps between functions while respecting established leadership decision rights
Evaluate vendors, provide practical recommendations, and oversee implementation following approval
Represent the principals in selected meetings and communications within clearly delegated authority
Design and embed practical operating processes, role boundaries, and escalation rules during the first 90 days
Additional Information
Full-time, permanent, exempt position
Onsite in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Monday through Friday during regular business hours

Provide ownership with clear performance reporting, timely escalation, and evidence-based recommendations
