Head of Operations / COO to $6000
Head of Operations / COO
We’re looking for a hands-on Head of Operations / COO to lead and streamline day-to-day operations across all departments. The COO will be responsible for building systems, optimizing resources, improving team performance, and ensuring jobs are completed on time, within budget. This role requires someone who is analytical, direct, solutions-focused, and not afraid to dig into the details with industry experience only.
This is a full-time leadership role. Work schedule is 9am - 6pm EST time zone, NY. With proven experience managing large teams (100+ people), ideally in startup or operations-heavy environments. You’ll be expected to dive deep into each department — dispatching, quoting, purchasing and logistics — and analyze every process to understand its effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement.
What will you do:
- Dive into each department — dispatching, quoting and purchasing, logistics — to deeply analyze processes, understand bottlenecks, and improve overall efficiency.
- Ensure strong communication flows between field teams, office staff, and leadership, creating a culture of transparency and accountability
- Build and maintain an effective scheduling system for a team of technicians, making sure appointments are well-timed, resources are used wisely, materials are ordered, and jobs are completed on time
- Monitor operations and technician performance using daily analytics, track expenses like vehicle repairs, amount of time spent on job site and analyze areas where time or money is being wasted
- Own process building from scratch: map workflows, define standard operating procedures (SOPs), and establish clear responsibilities and handoffs between departments to avoid confusion and delays
- Identify recurring issues, gather feedback from team leads, and implement practical solutions that support both short-term execution and long-term scalability
- Lead with a hands-on approach — being present, asking questions, and guiding teams through change without micromanaging
- Set clear KPIs for performance and hold teams accountable while also supporting their growth and development
- Continuously seek ways to optimize operations through automation, better tools, smarter resource allocation, or training
