Operations Manager Position Profile

Three Brands. One Vision. Unlimited Impact.

About Our Companies

Join the team powering three innovative brands with one shared mission of helping organizations grow and thrive. Comhar Partners is a leading retained executive search firm specializing in identifying and securing top leadership talent for clients nationwide. We partner closely with organizations across industries to find the executives who will shape their future. Our client list includes well-known brands like Sargento, Grainger, Hampton Social, and Naples Botanical Garden.

Our sister company, KeyHires, focuses exclusively on mid-career talent acquisition, delivering highly targeted candidate pipelines through precise data and digital marketing. We act as an extension of our clients’ hiring teams, providing the insights and talent they need without the overhead of a full-scale search. In addition to building custom talent pipelines, KeyHires also offers Reverse Executive Search, a unique service that matches top professionals with the companies and opportunities best aligned with their expertise and career goals.

Curated Contacts rounds out our portfolio, helping companies secure funding and generate high-value leads. We combine proprietary data, strategic outreach, and tailored presentations to connect clients with the right investors, partners, and customers at the right time.

Together, these three companies form a powerhouse of solutions, driving growth from the executive level to the sales funnel, all under one collaborative team!

We’re a small but growing team, which means you’ll work closely with leadership and get exposure to multiple parts of the business. Some days will be about keeping details in order; others will be about building something new from scratch. If you’re organized, proactive, and excited by variety, you’ll have the chance to make a real impact here. We value creativity, collaboration, and follow-through, and we’re looking for someone who takes pride in doing great work and learning along the way.
