You should be the type of person who can walk into a problem, understand what needs to happen, make a decision, and lead the team through it without needing constant direction.

This is not a position for someone who simply wants to manage a schedule. We are looking for a leader who can run operations, build a team, improve processes, protect profitability, and help take the company to the next level.

The right candidate will have significant responsibility, autonomy, and opportunity for growth.

Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience, with performance-based incentives.
