Operations Associate

Responsibilities

• Learn the factory inside and out: how an order moves from quote to cut to ship, and where it gets stuck
• Keep our GM organized: track priorities, follow up on open items, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks
• Own projects end to end, from figuring out the problem to getting it fixed
• Dig into the numbers behind the operation, like capacity, labor hours, cost per unit, and on-time shipping, and use them to make the case for what we do next
• Work with shift leads, quality, receiving, and shipping to hit our daily order targets
• Step in wherever the operation needs you, on the floor or in the office
• Follow every SOP, and tell us when one is broken so we can fix it

Preferred

• Manufacturing, operations, or supply chain experience
• Experience leading people, in any setting
• Experience at a startup or fast-growing company
• Comfortable using AI tools to work faster and smarter

Shift hours

Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM on paper. In reality, expect 60 to 80 hours a week for the foreseeable future, including early mornings, late nights, and weekends.

You are

• Thorough: you finish the job and check your own work
• High agency: you don't wait for permission or perfect directions
• Smart, and quick to learn things you've never done before
• Ready to work 60 to 80 hour weeks while we build this, and still sharp at the end of them
• Someone who has built something: a business, a side hustle, a club, a team, even if it didn't work out
• Comfortable on a factory floor and with the people who work there
• A clear, direct communicator who can tell a manager what's wrong and how to fix it
• Strong with spreadsheets and comfortable with numbers
• Never says "that's not my job"
