Role Overview
We are seeking a Director of Operations to lead and scale OneNotary's nationwide notary network, delivering a secure, credible, and five-star experience for our enterprise and individual clients. This role oversees a large, distributed workforce of full-time and part-time notaries and is responsible for ensuring high-quality, compliant, and efficient notary services while continuously elevating the experience for both business clients and individual signers.
This role demands a rare combination of strategic vision and operational expertise.

Reporting to executive leadership, the Director of Operations will collaborate closely with Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Compliance, and HR to optimize operations, strengthen quality standards, and support the continued growth of the OneNotary platform.
