For over 45 years, our success has been built on unmatched product expertise, a passion for innovation, and a deep commitment to exceptional customer service. At Micro Center, Passion, Energy, and Commitment aren’t just words—they’re how we work, grow, and win together. We take pride in creating long‑term customer relationships and cultivating a workplace where associates are supported, empowered, and valued. About Micro Center Service Micro Center Service is a high-volume, revenue-generating technical services business operating inside Micro Center retail stores across the country. Service teams diagnose, repair, upgrade, and configure customer technology while delivering trusted advice, fast turnaround, and an exceptional customer experience. Service at Micro Center blends technical expertise, operational execution, sales accountability, and leadership — and plays a critical role in customer loyalty and store performance. About the Role We are seeking a self‑motivated, results‑driven Retail Service Operations Manager (Field) to join our team. The Retail Service Operations Manager (Field) is a senior, field-based Service leadership role responsible for strengthening Service operations and leadership capability in Micro Center stores facing complexity, instability, or sustained performance challenges. This role is deployed into stores to assess problems, coach leaders, stabilize operations, and drive durable improvement. While hands-on engagement may be required to model standards and decision-making, this position is not a permanent store manager role and does not exist to add labor capacity. Success is measured by lasting improvement — stronger leaders, better decisions, and operational results that persist after the engagement ends.

• Proven leadership experience in computer repair, technical services, or electronics-based service operations.

• Experience balancing technical execution, customer experience, and sales accountability.
• Comfortable operating independently in complex, high-pressure environments.
• Willingness to travel extensively nationwide to our store locations – up to 75% travel.
• This position is based out of our home office in Columbus, Ohio.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose complex Service performance challenges across people, process, workflow, and execution.
• Lead short-term stabilizations and turnaround in high-risk or underperformance Service locations.
• Coach Computer Service Managers and store leadership on operational judgment and leadership behaviors.
• Improve Service workflow, productivity, queue health, turnaround time, and customer experience.
• Translate district-level expectations into practical, store-level execution.
• Identify root causes rather than surface symptoms and guide leaders toward sustainable solutions.
• Model strong technical-service decision making.
• Partner with Service Operations, District leadership, Training, and HR during field engagements.
• Document observations, risks, and recommendations clearly and objectively.
• Ensure improvements are durable and reduce the need for repeated intervention.
