Job Description
About the Opportunity

THE POSITION

Stanislaus County's Behavioral Health & Resources Department is currently accepting applications for a Part-Time/Extra-Help Business Operations Manager. This position will provide strategic and operational leadership for the day-to-day business functions of the department. Working in close partnership with Human Resources and departmental leadership, this position ensures that organizational operations, administrative processes, resources, systems, and business practices effectively support departmental goals and service delivery.

The Business Operations Manager serves as a key advisor to management on operational matters and is responsible for identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, accountability, communication, and customer service. The position coordinates business processes across functional areas, monitors operational performance, develops and implements procedures, and helps translate organizational priorities into effective operational practices.

While Human Resources will retain responsibility for employee relations, recruitment and selection, classification and compensation, leaves and accommodations, labor relations, performance management, and other designated HR activities, the position works closely with HR on workforce-related planning and organizational initiatives. The Business Operations Manager focuses on the business and operational infrastructure that enables employees and managers to be successful.

The ideal candidate is a strategic, highly organized, and solutions-oriented manager who understands how effective business operations support an organization’s people, programs, and overall mission. They are comfortable working across functional areas, translating organizational priorities into practical strategies, and bringing structure and accountability to complex or evolving operations. They think strategically while remaining attentive to the details necessary to keep operations running effectively and bring a strong understanding of business operations, administrative services, resource management, and organizational processes.

The ideal candidate is a clear and confident communicator who can effectively interact with executives, managers, employees, and internal and external stakeholders. They bring sound judgment, professionalism, responsiveness, and follow-through to their work. They are comfortable leading organizational change and helping managers and employees adapt to new processes, systems, and expectations.
This is a part-time position that works an average of 29 hours per week.
