Operations Manager / Engineer (Leadership Program)

Location : Denver, CO

About the Role

Are you passionate about leading operational excellence in an entrepreneurial and dynamic work environment? Are you yearning for an opportunity to learn how to be a successful entrepreneur and leader of cross functional disciplines? We are looking for an Operations Manager / Engineer (Leadership Program) to join us on our journey to revolutionize America’s supply chain.

The Operations Manager / Engineer (“OME”) is an elite, cross-functional operator-engineer who thrives in the hardest environment in business such as legacy supply chains, enterprise customers, startup speed, and chaotic real-world operations. OMEs rotate through the organization to learn the business at an atomic level, then take full ownership of a corporate function or customer initiative.

OMEs are expected to architect, automate, and execute — working directly with the CEO / Founder and CFO, solving ambiguous problems with 10x speed, grit, imagination, and radical ownership. Successful OMEs work themselves out of their current job by building systems that scale without them, and they graduate into escalating levels of responsibility / roles in the company.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities :

This program is intentionally challenging and will stretch OMEs beyond their current capabilities — by design — and will prepare OMEs for three paths :

  • Leadership
  • Becoming an entrepreneur and building their own startup
  • Becoming a highly differentiated operator / leader in the broader industry

Orientation - For initial orientation / training, individuals in this program will be placed in various front-line roles throughout the company to develop their understanding of our business from various perspectives

Core Responsibilities - Once the orientation is complete, this individual will be assigned to (a) own an internal corporate function / department or (b) own an initiative within our customer; in either instance, an OME will :

  • Collaborate with the CEO / Founder and CFO to develop and implement the company’s plan, objectives and tactics
  • Be accountable for delivering outcomes across the domains below. OMEs will be expected to own end-to-end outcomes — not tasks or effort.
  • Day-To-Day Operations
  • Automation – building new automation and managing existing automation
  • Product Management
  • Stakeholder Management (e.g., customers, buyers, influencers, users, internal, etc.)
  • Operate with first-principles thinking, imagination, execution discipline, speed, and grit — solving ambiguous, high-stakes problems with unconventional thinking
  • Quickly develop technical fluency in automation platforms, workflows, and data structures, enabling them to design and implement systemized solutions
  • Work cross-functionally with other departments and leaders to ensure alignment and successful execution of objectives
  • Establish and evaluate KPIs for their initiative / function, identifying areas for improvement and implementing changes to drive efficiency and effectiveness
  • Lead from the front and do whatever it takes to ensure the achievement of laid out goals – when we say own, we mean own
  • In some circumstances, build, lead and manage a high-performing team of employees that focuses on operational excellence, customer service and maintaining a win or die mentality, setting clear goals and expectations and providing regular feedback
  • Length of Rotations - The typical length of time of a rotation will be 2-6 months (with some rotations being longer) depending on the need of the organization

    Mentorship –

  • OMEs will work closely with the CFO and CEO / Founder (assuming satisfactory performance), receiving direct mentorship and being accountable for initiatives critical to the company’s success
  • Weekly scheduled mentorship with CFO on a variety of topics (e.g., startups, founders, strategy, finance, etc.)
  • A standard company-wide continuing education stipend is included with exceptions allowed on a case-by-case basis for candidates in this program
  • This is not a traditional operations role — it is a hybrid of operator, engineer, product thinker, and business builder

    Qualifications / Skills :

  • Ability to work cross functionally across customers’ operations, IT, supply chain, logistics and finance departments while supporting customer adoption
  • Understanding of service-focused operations teams that support customers whose operations are 24 / 7 / 365
  • Demonstrate a strong sense of urgency in all projects and an ability to prioritize and re-prioritize as necessary.
  • Ability to multi-task projects and required tasks in an organized fashion
  • Ability to work in a team environment as well as self-motivated in individual projects
  • Ability to communicate both verbally and written to all levels of the organization
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (outlook, excel, word)
  • Proficiency with Python and SQL
  • Ability to learn technical and software development skills trained at the company
  • Educational / Experience Requirements :

  • University Degree From A Top University Required - in a following discipline : Engineering, Math, Physics, Science, Supply Chain Management, or Business / Finance
  • GPA 3.7+
  • Benefits

    We are committed to developing our employees and providing them exciting opportunities to grow and prosper in their careers.

    We offer a competitive benefits package as well as numerous additional perks, including :

  • Competitive compensation package
  • Paid Time Off and Holidays
  • Health, Dental and Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match
  • Flex and Health Savings Plans
  • Company-paid life and short-term disability insurance
  • Company-paid parking or RTD pass
  • Voluntary income protection benefits including Life, AD&D, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity, and Accident Protection Insurance
  • Tuition Assistance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Free or discounted legal program
  • We supply the industry's best hardware and productivity software.
  • Equal Opportunity Employer.

    Disclaimer : This job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee. Other duties, responsibilities and activities may change or be assigned.
