Operations Manager

We are looking for a dynamic, hands-on Operations leader to help drive the next stage of our growing design-driven brand. This is a highly collaborative role for someone who thrives at the intersection of people, product, and process—leading our Operations team while partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, and Leadership.

You will bring vision and structure to the behind-the-scenes work that brings our collections to life from product development and production to inventory, fulfillment, and the day-to-day studio experience. We are looking for a proactive, problem-solver who enjoys finding opportunities to improve efficiency, strengthen partnerships, and create exceptional customer experiences.

The ideal candidate combines operational rigor with a genuine appreciation for design, pairing a sharp eye for detail with an instinct for problem-solving, collaboration, and continuous improvement. You’re equally comfortable thinking strategically, managing complex projects, and rolling up your sleeves to make things happen.
