Operations Manager Get your foot in the door on a ground floor opportunity with this booming manufacturer!

Elevate is partnering with a high-growth entrepreneurial company looking to hire an Operations Manager. When we asked the founder to hand carve the ideal candidate one word kept coming up: athlete.

Dont worry - were not looking for someone who can run a mile in 5 minutes or less. We want someone that has the qualities that great athletes bring to everything they do - grit competitiveness problem-solving leadership. What makes this role unique is that were not looking for a specific background or years of experience. The right personality and intangible skillset are going to beat the perfect resume.

This is not the job for someone who wants to sit at a desk all day. Youll own inventory and production across two fast-paced facilities. Its a mix of spending time on the floor with your team while also stepping back to analyze metrics identify bottlenecks and improve into AI and research new systems to optimize operations. Success in this role means the sales team can drive growth confidently knowing orders go out the door seamlessly.

This is just the starting point. The founder rewards people who go above and beyond and this role will evolve alongside the business. Someone who comes in and knocks it out of the park has the potential to grow into bigger / key leadership roles and expand into other areas of the company over time.

Who would thrive in this role

• You are someone who can fire up your team when the day-to-day isnt glamourous and becomes monotonous at times. You want to find creative ways to make the workplace fun while still in GSD mode.
• You catch on quickly. Youre not afraid to own something youve never tried before. You can take a little direction and sprint with the baton.
• Youre known for solving problems and taking ownership. Youve got a solution figured out before your boss even knows something went wrong.
• Youre a natural coach and not afraid to have the tough conversations. If you see something that needs fixed you bring it up. You can share feedback in a way that keeps your team motivated.

Join a team that shows up to work in jeans ball caps and camo - laid-back approachable and refreshingly funny - but make no mistake theyre serious about winning. To set you up for success from day one the founder built a structured 12-week onboarding plan. Heres a sneak peek to give you some insight into how they operate:

Every week has a clear objective. Every task has a checkbox a success metric and an owner. Check the box when the metric is met - not when the task is attempted. If a box isnt checked by Friday it carries forward and youre behind. The standard is binary: by Week 12 the warehouse runs without anyone asking about it - or it doesnt.

Outside of work this team values balance whether thats hunting fishing or just getting you have an entrepreneurial spirit take pride in being the best at what you do and arent afraid of a role without a playbook wed love to hear from you. Interviews begin in two weeks and this role will move fast!
