Director of Operations 

Carolinas or Mid-Atlantic (open to New England)

Our client, a multi-region electronic security and door opening integrator, is opening a new Director of Operations seat as they scale across the East Coast. This is a build role. You are not stepping into a finished operation, you are the one building the systems that let it run without you in every room. If you have already done that once somewhere else and you get results through process instead of personal heroics, this is worth a conversation.

What You Get to Do

Run a full diagnostic of current install and service operations: where the gaps sit between sales handoff, installation, and service delivery

Map the future-state process, build the implementation plan, then execute it yourself

Own P&L for your operations, working from dashboards and metrics you put in place, not gut feel

Build and run a training and mentoring program for your teams, including the content and the cadence

Get consistent, strong output from your average and above-average technicians and PMs through the systems you build, not by chasing star hires

Own the sales-to-install handoff end to end so nothing falls through the cracks between the two functions

What You Have Already Done

Built an operational system from scratch at least once, not just operated inside one someone else designed

Owned P&L for an install and service business, in security or any comparable trades or services field

Run the full cycle yourself: gap assessment, process design, implementation, and ongoing management

Personally built and delivered training programs, not just delegated them

Managed the handoff from sales through installation in a business where that handoff actually matters

Based in or open to the Carolinas or Mid-Atlantic

Why You Would Do It

This is a seat for someone who has outgrown player-coach and firefighter mode and wants to operate at the altitude where you build the system instead of living inside it every day. You get genuine P&L ownership, the room to design operations your way, and a leadership team asking for exactly this kind of build rather than hoping someone freelances it. Base starts at $140K and moves with what you bring to the table.
