Volansky Studio is an architectural and interior design firm located in the picturesque town of Stowe, Vermont. We specialize in master planning, architectural design, and project management services for residential, commercial, interior, and landscape projects. At Volansky Studio, our approach is collaborative and client-centered, ensuring every space we design reflects the beauty of the landscape and the individuality of our clients.

The Role

As Operations Manager, you’ll be at the center of how the studio runs day to day by supporting the team stay organized and informed. You’ll oversee internal workflows for internal operations and project execution, financial reporting, and communications across departments, ensuring the business operates smoothly so teams can focus on their craft.

Who You Are

You’re an adaptable, detail-oriented organizer with a strong sense of how effective management supports creative work. You understand the nuance of balancing structure with flexibility and take pride in creating clarity for others. You’re comfortable managing multiple priorities, keeping systems running smoothly, and making sure the right information reaches the right people at the right time.

While prior experience in architecture, design, or construction is helpful, what matters most is your ability to think critically, stay organized, and manage information with care. Experience managing team capacity, assessing company benefits and HR practices, managing external company partners, and supporting project tracking are transferable skills. We’ll teach you how our studio operates from our project management tools to our financial systems so you can confidently step into the role and grow alongside the firm.

You should be confident using Microsoft tools and comfortable learning new systems. QuickBooks Online experience is a plus but not required.
