Are you a systems-driven leader who believes structure is essential to scale—and knows how to build it?

O’Connor Estates is a boutique real estate firm co-founded by sisters Claire and Sam O’Connor. In 2024, the team closed nearly $40M in sales with its signature “vibe flipping” approach, recently featured in HousingWire . We are now seeking a Director of Operations to support and guide the firm’s next phase of growth.

This role is ideal for an experienced, polished real estate operations professional (active CA license required) who thrives in a high-performance, design-forward environment and takes pride in delivering an exceptional client and team experience.

The Role

You will serve as a strategic partner to Claire and Sam—anticipating needs, maintaining operational clarity, and enabling them to stay focused on growth. This role plays a key part in shaping the client experience, team culture, and overall business operations.

The Details

  • Salary : $120,000 - $150,000 in addition to a team performance bonus
  • Benefits : Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave. Contribution toward medical benefits.
  • Hours : Full-time, M-F (9-6) with some flexibility from time to time in the evenings and occasional weekends for emergencies.
  • Location : Santa Monica, CA. You live within a 40-minute commute of Santa Monica, CA. You have daily access to a personal vehicle that you can drive for work-related tasks. You have a driver’s license, and you carry insurance.

  • Drive accountability : Lead and support a small team of experienced agents, reinforcing performance standards, follow-through, and operational excellence.
  • Elevate the brand experience : Oversee client events, open houses, and key touchpoints that reflect the firm’s luxury positioning.
