Operations Manager

Location: Maryland HQ
Compensation Range: $72K–$85K (phased growth plan with bonuses & incentives)

AP Corp is seeking a results-driven, detail-focused leader to own the flow of projects from sale to install. This role is designed for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments and who wants a clear path into full operations leadership.

If you’re decisive, structured, and thrive on accountability — this is your seat at the table.

The Role

This is a phased leadership track:

• Phase 1 (Coordinator): Take control of scheduling, materials, and project organization.

• Phase 2 (Production Leadership): Oversee production scheduling, quality control, and eliminate bottlenecks.

• Phase 3 (Operations Manager): Own materials management, supervise the Wraps Account Manager, and drive gross profit performance across all projects.

Your Responsibilities

• Command the workflow: From order to packaging, you’ll ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

• Control materials: Everything in, everything out — staged correctly, tracked precisely, and optimized for cost.

• Drive accountability: Supervise the Wraps Account Manager, mentor production staff, and enforce standards.

• Protect profitability: Manage labor and materials against budgets and own gross profit outcomes.

• Engineer efficiency: Design and refine processes that reduce waste, speed up execution, and raise quality.

• Report & improve: Track KPIs and recommend changes that increase operational performance.

Who You Are

• Decisive: You move quickly, make confident calls, and take ownership of outcomes.

• Detail-Obsessed: You thrive on structure, process, and accuracy — no detail gets missed.

• Accountable: You want responsibility for results, not just tasks.

• Strategic & Tactical: You can shift from leading a meeting to solving a materials bottleneck without skipping a beat.

• Driven by Results: Hitting goals and protecting margins motivates you as much as recognition.
