About The Position

Our portfolio company is hiring a Director of Operations to run the business day to day so the founders can focus on strategic execution. You will lead the corporate team and own the operating systems behind our studios, including people operations, recruiting, the call center, inventory and warehouse operations, payroll, facilities, vendors, compliance coordination, and the weekly operating cadence. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will make decisions, solve operating problems directly, and build the people and processes that prevent those problems from returning. You should be comfortable moving between a location issue, a hiring decision, a payroll exception, a vendor choice, and a leadership conversation on the same day.

Requirements

• Experience leading operations across multiple brick-and-mortar locations, such as a regional, district, multi-unit, or general-management role.
• Direct experience with several of the following: payroll, recruiting, performance management, facilities, vendor management, inventory, scheduling, or call-center operations.
• Evidence that you can lead a team while remaining close enough to the work to diagnose problems and act quickly.
• Sound judgment about when to decide independently, when to gather more information, and when to involve founders or qualified counsel.
• A practical approach to tools, contractors, automation, and AI that improves execution without adding unnecessary headcount.
• Clear written and verbal communication, strong follow-through, and a record of holding teams accountable to measurable standards.
• Ability to meet the role's travel requirements and work effectively from a remote base near a major US airport.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Run payroll and back-office administration accurately and on time, including corrections and exception handling.
• Make facilities, vendor, and location-spend decisions within agreed authority limits, then communicate decisions and business impact clearly.
• Coordinate the operational response to labor, compliance, and legal matters by gathering facts, engaging qualified counsel when needed, and bringing the founders a recommendation with clear options.
• Identify recurring operating problems, address the immediate issue, and install a process, owner, and measure that prevents repeat failure.
• Resolve routine operating decisions are resolved at your level, and provide founders with clear updates rather than unresolved problems.
