About Progressive Cleaning
Creating Healthy Environments Where People Thrive
This is why we do what we do. Every facility we clean is someone's workplace, classroom, healthcare space, or community. When those environments are clean and healthy, the people inside them can focus, collaborate, perform, and feel good about where they are.
Our job isn't just to remove dirt. It's to create the conditions where people can do their best work, learn, heal, and thrive. That's what gets us out of bed in the morning — not a mop and a checklist, but the impact on every person who walks into a building we've cared for.
When a facility manager tells us they don't have to think about housekeeping anymore — that's this. When a student walks into a clean classroom, when a patient sits in a sanitary waiting room, when an employee shows up to a workspace that feels cared for — that's this.
We don't just clean buildings. We create environments where people thrive.
Our Niche: Multi-day large facility cleaning.
We Are a Systems Driven Cleaning Company
We don't wing it. Every facility we service runs on documented processes, trained protocols, and consistent standards — from how we enter a building to how we exit it. Our systems mean you get the same quality on day one as you do on day 500. When something needs to change, we adjust the system — not just the person. That's how we deliver consistency at scale.
Job Description
The Role
We are hiring a Business Operations Specialist to take on the recurring administrative work that keeps a distributed field operation running: timecards, scheduling, supply ordering, accounts payable, HR administration, and marketing support.
This is a genuinely cross-functional role. You will support our HR, operations, finance, and marketing functions rather than sitting inside just one of them. If you like variety, ownership of your own queue, and being the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks, this will suit you.
What You'll Do
Human Resources & Payroll Support
Manage employee timecards in Swept — daily review, corrections, and edits.
Prepare payroll-ready timecard reports and submit them for review ahead of each payroll cutoff.
Support recruiting, hiring, and onboarding — job posting logistics, candidate scheduling, and new-hire paperwork.
Maintain employee records and compliance documentation, tracking expirations before they become problems.
Field Operations Support
Maintain employee schedules and keep site assignments current.
Log and route call-outs and site staffing notifications to the right supervisor.
Supply & Materials
Monitor supply requests coming in from our field teams through Swept — this drives most of our ordering.
Message requesters directly in Swept when a request needs clarification, and handle internal requests from management.
Place supply and material orders with our approved vendors.
Track open orders, confirm deliveries, and clear the request in Swept once it lands.
Reconcile deliveries against orders and resolve vendor discrepancies.
Finance & Administration
Enter vendor bills in QuickBooks Online and track payment status through to close.
Maintain our QBO product and service list — prices, SKUs, descriptions, and new product setup.
Marketing & Communications
Own the content calendar — plan and schedule social and content posts.
Create social media content for the company and its leadership, built and queued at least 30 days ahead.
Submit content for approval before release, then execute the approved calendar on schedule.
Manage our social media accounts — respond to comments and messages on company posts, and keep an eye on the social inbox.
Engage with other organizations, potential partners, and prospects in our community by commenting on and interacting with relevant posts.
Keep our website information current and accurate.
Office Operations & Systems
Manage inbound calls and office lines through our phone system, following the established routing.
Handle recurring internal communications — employee announcements, birthday memos, and company-wide notices.
Handle day-to-day software administration — user setup, licenses, and routine configuration.
Use AI tools to support content drafting, research, and administrative work. We use them here and expect you to.
Support event logistics and coordination with outside organizations we work with.
Qualifications
What You Bring
3+ years in an operations, administrative, or business support role.
Hands-on experience managing timecards and schedules for a distributed or field-based workforce.
Accounts payable experience — bill entry, payment tracking, and sorting out vendor discrepancies.
A track record of working independently and remotely, without daily supervision.
Clear written communication, and comfort documenting processes.
Strong attention to detail. In this role, small errors compound into payroll and client problems.
Nice to Have
Experience in commercial janitorial, facilities, or another field-services business.
Prior use of Swept, QuickBooks Online, or HubSpot.
Social media content creation and community management experience.
Comfort using AI tools such as Claude for drafting, research, and administrative work.
Additional Information
Who Thrives Here
These are our core values. We hire, review, and promote against them.
Reliable
You show up — on time, every shift, every commitment. Our clients trust us because our team is consistent. When you say you'll be there, you're there. Reliability isn't just about attendance; it's about being someone your teammates and clients can count on without having to check.
Coachable
You're open to feedback and willing to grow. You don't have all the answers, and neither do we — but we're always improving. Being coachable means you listen, you adjust, and you get better. The moment you stop learning is the moment you stop growing with us.
Do the Right Thing
When no one is watching, you still do it right. Whether it's reporting a supply issue, flagging a safety concern, or treating a client's space with care — integrity isn't situational. We don't cut corners because it's faster or easier. We do the right thing because it's who we are.
Do What We Say
We keep our commitments — to our clients, to each other, and to ourselves. If we say the facility will be ready, it will be ready. If we say we'll follow up, we follow up. Trust is built one kept promise at a time, and broken by one that isn't.
Committed to Excellence
Good enough isn't our standard. We take pride in the work — not because someone is grading us, but because a clean, healthy environment matters to the people inside it. Excellence isn't perfection; it's the relentless pursuit of doing our best work every single time.

Operations Specialist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a operations specialist in Florida?
Most operations specialist positions in Florida require a bachelor's degree in business, supply chain, or a related field, though some employers accept equivalent work experience. Florida does not issue a state license specifically for operations specialists, so hiring decisions center on education, demonstrated process management experience, and credentials like a Lean Six Sigma certification or a Project Management Professional designation, both of which Florida employers frequently list as preferred qualifications.
Which companies hire operations specialists in Florida?
Florida operations specialist roles are posted by H&R Block, State of Florida, and DICK'S Sporting Goods and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's mix of corporate headquarters, defense contractors, and large healthcare systems creates consistent year-round demand for this role across multiple industries.
Which Florida cities have the most operations specialist jobs?
Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami have the most operations specialist openings in Florida. Miami's density of international trade and financial services firms, Tampa's growing corporate and logistics sector, and Orlando's large hospitality, healthcare, and defense employer base collectively drive the bulk of postings, while smaller metros tend to reflect whichever anchor employer or distribution hub operates in that area.
Are there remote operations specialist jobs in Florida?
Yes, though availability depends on the employer and the specific duties involved. About 46% of operations specialist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the role's mix of desk-based coordination and on-site oversight responsibilities. Functions focused on data analysis, reporting, and vendor communication tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles involving facility management or hands-on workflow oversight typically require an in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a operations specialist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into an operations coordinator or administrative associate role at a large Florida employer and building from there. Companies like AdventHealth, Publix, and major logistics firms based in the Tampa and Miami areas routinely hire for entry-level coordinator positions that feed into specialist tracks. A Lean Six Sigma White or Yellow Belt certificate and familiarity with any major ERP platform give candidates a measurable edge, and lateral moves from roles like customer service lead, inventory associate, or project coordinator are common starting points Florida hiring managers recognize.
Where can I find and apply to operations specialist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to operations specialist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings in one place. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
