Director, Operations

Director, Operations

We're seeking a hands-on, strategic leader to streamline processes, strengthen systems, and drive cross-functional efficiency. You'll work closely with the leadership team, own our ERP and BI tools, and build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement—all while making a tangible impact on a growing business.

Why Join Us?

This role is ideal for a hands-on, strategic thinker who thrives in a lean environment, enjoys cross-functional problem-solving, and wants to leave a lasting mark on a growing business. We're looking for a builder-operator: someone who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to solve day-to-day challenges, as they are stepping back to improve systems, optimize performance, and build a stronger foundation for growth.

What You'll Do

Leadership & Culture

• Collaborate closely with the Sales and Finance Directors as part of the leadership team
• Resolve operational challenges with minimal need for owner involvement
• Shape a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement
• Provide mentorship and clear direction to the Purchasing and Warehouse Managers

Operations & Systems

• Become the internal expert for Sage 300 ERP, Sage Enterprise Intelligence (SEI), and Microsoft Excel (advanced)
• Drive improvements in data integrity, reporting, inventory control, and order management
• Oversee and improve our technology stack in collaboration with outsourced vendors (Netstock, CRM, etc.)
• Implement practical, efficient workflows that reduce manual work and errors

Product & Pricing Strategy

• Own product setup, maintenance, and pricing across ERP and BI tools
• Collaborate with Sales on product lifecycle management and pricing strategy
• Ensure a balance between profitability and market competitiveness

Process Resilience & Business Continuity

• Serve as a backup for key business functions (Purchasing, Finance) during absences
• Develop documentation and backup plans for critical processes
• Identify and mitigate risks across supply chain, systems, and vendor reliability

Customer & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Ensure operational processes support a seamless customer experience
• Work hand-in-hand with Sales to ensure customer and market needs are operationally supported
• Align with Finance on cash flow, inventory position, and profitability goals

New Product Development

• Co-lead new product onboarding with the Sales Director
• Establish vendor relationships, set up ERP data, and coordinate internal readiness
• Collaborate on marketing and launch support

What You Bring

• Proven success in an operations leadership role in a small or mid-sized business
• Strong experience with ERP systems and BI tools (Sage 300 and SEI preferred)
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and Microsoft 365 proficiency
• Experience leading managers and developing others through coaching and accountability
• Strong attention to detail with a sense of urgency and ownership
• Track record of solving cross-functional problems and improving efficiency
• Hands-on and humble, but confident in your leadership and influence
