Operations Manager

STOP & READ First
:
If you have 5-10+ years of Operations experience and want to ensure you work a balanced 8-5, Mon-Fri schedule, you should reach out to me. Tons of room for growth for an operations professional looking to make a name for themselves on a dynamic team. You must be fast-paced, a team builder, an organized scheduler, and someone who can be strategic and tactical.

Ready to join a truly fun and dynamic company? How many companies can you say are fun to work for? This is a fast-growing, hands-on organization where ideas turn into action, and results matter. The environment is collaborative, fast-paced, and designed for individuals who enjoy variety, ownership, and staying close to the work.

The team values accountability, continuous improvement, and smart problem solving. As the business grows, so do the opportunities to learn, take on more responsibility, and make a visible impact rather than blend into the background.

This is a hands-on Operations Manager role for someone who brings grit, strong judgment, and the ability to keep work moving even when conditions change. You will work closely with Operations leadership and field teams to ensure projects, shipments, and installs are executed accurately, on time, and with a high level of accountability.

You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and jumping into the work. When the team is short staffed, schedules shift, or priorities change, you stay focused and solution driven. You balance execution with coordination and do not hesitate to step in where needed.
