Job description

Every high-energy Operations Director we've hired at Kohls had two things: a grip on Process Improvement and zero patience for general theater. What anchors this Ames job is ownership; the $144,000 - $209,000, the contract hours, the 10-year ask all hang off that.

Key Responsibilities

• Anticipate the IA compliance wrinkle before it becomes a fire
• Contribute to process improvements that boost efficiency and reduce waste
• Close the loop on every Ames request you touch
• Partner with peers to troubleshoot issues and share practical knowledge
• Read between the lines of what Ames customers actually need

What You'll Bring

• Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
• A trust-the-team bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Proven aptitude for Strategic Planning, ideally near Ames, IA
• An IA sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
• Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery

Here at Kohls, we combine low-drama engineering with a relentless focus on the customers we serve in Ames, IA. Inclusion isn't a poster on the Ames, IA wall; it's who gets pulled into the room and heard.

Take $144,000 - $209,000, add a mentor invested in your rise, layer on benefits and remote options, and that is the Kohls offer in one breath.

The team just got the green light to hire, and this Operations Director role is first up.

Don't let a detail-loving Operations Director opening in Ames become the one that got away.
