About The Position
We're scaling fast, and we need an Operations Manager who thrives in complexity and moves with urgency. In this role, you'll be at the heart of our operations engine, driving the strategy and execution required to scale production at unprecedented volume and speed. This isn't just about keeping the lights on—it's about building the operational backbone for hypergrowth. This role sits on our Design Operations team and is focused on building infrastructure and developing strategic initiatives that solve complex business problems spanning multiple core functions. You'll lead projects that determine how we scale operationally across a distributed footprint, and how we coordinate that scale cross-functionally—from Design to Quality to Product & Engineering. If you're energized by deep analysis, complex systems, and building scalable infrastructure, this is the role for you.
