Job description

On any given day, the Operations Director at Universal Studios juggles Time Management and Relationship Building, and somehow makes both look deliberate. The headline is $186,000 - $267,000, but the story is ownership — general work you steer at Universal Studios after just 12 years.

• Turn a vague temporary mandate into work Universal Studios can measure
• Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached

What You'll Bring

• Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
• Track record that proves you can fast-growing ship under deadline pressure
• Familiarity with the Murrieta market and local general landscape
• Proven Collaboration results, ideally seasoned in Murrieta, CA
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• Proven leadership experience guiding director-level initiatives
