Company: CF Capital
Location: On-Site, Monday to Friday (607 W Main Street, Suite 501, Louisville, KY 40202)
CF Capital is hiring an Operations Manager to become the execution engine behind the
business. This person will work directly with the founders to own day-to-day operations,
ensure nothing falls through the cracks, and take full responsibility for turning priorities
into results.
This role is execution first. The day-to-day work is highly detail-oriented and focused on
follow-through, organization, and ownership. Growth into a broader leadership role is
possible over time, but it is earned through consistent performance.
If you are someone who takes pride in owning the details, following through relentlessly,
and earning trust through execution, this is a rare opportunity to grow alongside a
high-performing team.
CF Capital is a fast-growing private equity real estate firm based in Louisville, Kentucky.
CF Capital acquires, improves, and operates apartment communities across the Midwest
and Southeast with a focus on creating better living experiences for residents, stronger
returns for investors, and lasting value for the communities it serves.
CF Capital operates under the mission “Elevating Communities Together,” believing that
real estate is about more than buildings. It is about creating places people are proud to
call home, delivering exceptional experiences for investors and partners, and building a
company culture where great people can do meaningful work at a high level.
Today, the firm owns and operates approximately 1,500 apartment units and manages
roughly $175M in assets under management. Over the next 3 years, CF Capital plans to
scale to 5,000+ units, launch its own property management company, and continue
building the systems, people, and infrastructure needed to support that growth. Long
term, the company is targeting 20,000+ units over the next 10 years.
This role offers the opportunity to work directly with both founders during one of the most
exciting growth phases in the company's history and help build the operational foundation
for what comes next.
This role is:
Execution-heavy and detail-oriented
Focused on follow-through, organization, and accountability
A true right-hand role to the founders
An opportunity to earn increasing responsibility over time
This role is not:
A strategy-only or high-level leadership role
A guaranteed path to the next level, title, or place within the organization (it is earned)
A role where you will be removed from day-to-day execution
What Success Looks Like
Six months into this role:
95%+ of action items, deadlines, and follow-ups are completed on time
Investor and partner inquiries are responded to within 24 hours
The right hire will remove 8–10+ hours per week from each founder's plate within the
first six months
The founders have more time to focus on growth and strategy
Projects, priorities, and deadlines are highly organized and visible
Investor communications, distributions, and follow-ups are happening seamlessly
Processes are documented, improved, and consistently followed
Problems are being solved proactively, not escalated reactively
CF Capital is a metrics-driven organization, and this role will be measured by
execution reliability, responsiveness, and the ability to remove operational burden
from the founders.
What We're Looking For
3–7 years of experience in operations, executive support, project management,
consulting, business management, financial operations, or similar environments
Experience supporting founders, executives, or high-growth teams
Exceptional follow-through and organizational skills
Strong written and verbal communication
High attention to detail and bias toward action
Comfort operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
Strong systems mindset and ability to improve processes
Strong preference for hands-on execution, with the ability to think ahead when needed
Experience in real estate, property management, private equity, wealth management, or
financial services is preferred but not required
Comfortable doing detail-heavy, repetitive work consistently
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who:
Takes full ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
Follows through relentlessly, even when work is repetitive or unglamorous
Is highly organized and naturally detail-oriented
Uses strong judgment to prioritize effectively
Is comfortable operating without constant direction
Is humble enough to do varying tasks that need to be done, even if the tasks seem
mundane or repetitive
Is motivated to earn greater responsibility over time
This role is ideal for someone who wants to earn trust through execution and grow into greater
responsibility over time.

hear from you.
