With significant growth underway, the organization is looking for a Senior Operations Manager to take ownership of day-to-day operations and help build the infrastructure needed for its next stage of scale.This is not a traditional corporate operations role. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a startup environment—someone versatile enough to jump between people, processes, customers, software, and business problems without waiting for a playbook. The ideal candidate is a natural leader and problem solver who can quickly identify what isn't working, determine why, and put a scalable solution in place. You’ll work closely with executive leadership while serving as a critical bridge between Operations, Customer Support, Sales, Product, and Engineering.

Who Will Thrive HereYou’ll likely love this opportunity if you're the person who naturally asks:“Why are we doing it this way, and how can we make it better?”You’re comfortable getting into the weeds when necessary, but you also know when to delegate. You don't need a highly structured environment or constant direction. You're energized by building structure where it doesn't exist yet. Most importantly, you're a doer and a leader. You can rally a team, work effectively with executives, communicate with engineers, understand customer problems, and then turn all of that information into action. The culture is fast-moving, data-driven, solution-oriented, and intentionally low on micromanagement. The organization is entering an aggressive growth stage following its Series A funding and wants this person to have the opportunity to build the operations function around them. Compensation &amp; Benefits<ul><li>$100,000–$150,000 base salary, depending on experience</li><li>Quarterly performance bonus</li><li>Medical insurance</li><li>Dental insurance</li><li>Vision insurance</li><li>401(k)</li><li>Paid time off</li><li>Flexible work environment and hours</li><li>Hybrid schedule – after initial training, typically 1 day per week onsite in Garland</li><li>Significant visibility with executive leadership</li><li>Opportunity to build and shape the operations function</li><li>Long-term advancement potential as the organization scales</li></ul> Eligible employees can participate in benefits beginning the first of the month following their start date. The company currently contributes 50% toward employee-only premiums for its basic medical plan and 50% toward employee-only dental and vision premiums. A self-directed 401(k) is also available. Why This Role?This is an opportunity to join a company at the point where startup agility is turning into meaningful scale. You won't inherit a rigid corporate structure—you'll have the opportunity to help create the structure. For someone who enjoys solving problems, leading people, improving systems, and building something from the ground up, this role offers a high level of ownership, executive exposure, and long-term growth potential. We look forward to hearing from you!
