About the program

The role is execution-heavy and detail-focused — the Coordinator learns business operations and compliance discipline within a working operating environment.

Jobs this program prepares you for

The Business Operations Coordinator supports Market/Dean’s (MKD) Operations Specialist across the business operations, contracts, and compliance functions. Working within an 8(a) EDWOSB defense-focused marketing agency, the Coordinator helps administer commercial and government contracts, supports data entry and standard reporting in our contract management system under the Operations Specialist’s ownership, maintains vendor and subcontractor documentation (COIs, W-9s, expirations), tracks corporate compliance obligations (DCAA, CMMC Level 2, 8(a) EDWOSB reporting, state registrations), and stewards MKD’s operational SOP library.

Eligibility & prerequisites

Comfortable navigating a computer-based system of record for data entry, tracking, or reporting (e.g., a military ERP, supply, logistics, or personnel system). Prior experience with any specific system is not required. Working proficiency in Microsoft Excel/Google Sheets and Microsoft Word/Google Docs. Strong attention to detail and comfort with recurring administrative processes, such as tracking deadlines, expirations, and required documentation accurately and on schedule. Experience operating within a regulated, standards-driven environment (e.g., following SOPs, checklists, or compliance protocols) and handling sensitive or controlled documentation appropriately. Access to a personal laptop capable of running standard business software and reliable internet (MKD does not currently provide loaner equipment). Strong written communication for documentation and SOP writing. No college degree or prior business operations experience required.
