This role also serves as the central point of contact for the Dallas office for local staff and remote support groups as the Dallas office continues to grow. The role suits someone who enjoys the variety and ownership of a smaller, start-up-style environment, where no two days look quite the same. It demands excellence and continuous improvement, along with a proven ability to anticipate the office's needs.
