Operations Manager

Description

Build Better. Lead Better. Make a Lasting Impact.

Great companies are built through strong leadership, disciplined execution, and a relentless commitment to improvement.

At Graceland Portable Buildings, we are looking for an exceptional Operations Manager to help elevate performance across one of our divisions. This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for someone who thrives on bringing clarity to complexity, developing people, strengthening operational systems, and creating exceptional experiences for customers and dealer partners.

This role sits at the intersection of operations, customer experience, sales support, logistics, and team leadership. You will help shape how work gets done—creating alignment between teams, removing friction from processes, and ensuring commitments are executed with excellence.

If you are energized by leading people, solving operational challenges, improving systems, and driving measurable results, we believe this opportunity will be deeply rewarding.

The Opportunity

You will work closely with sales leadership, plant managers, dispatch, customer support, dealer partners, and executive leadership to ensure seamless execution from dealer onboarding through final customer delivery.

You will inherit important processes—but also have the opportunity to improve them.

Success in this role means building stronger systems, developing high-performing teams, creating operational consistency, and delivering an outstanding experience for both customers and dealer partners.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Serve as a strategic connector between regional sales managers, plant leadership, dispatch, customer service, and executive leadership. Bring alignment across teams, improve communication, and solve operational challenges proactively.

Team Leadership & Development

Lead and develop a team supporting sales operations, dispatch, and customer service. Establish clear expectations, coach for growth, build accountability, and foster a culture centered on service, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Customer Experience

Champion a high standard of customer experience by ensuring orders are executed accurately, timelines are met, and challenges are resolved quickly and professionally.

Continuous Improvement

Partner with leadership to evaluate performance metrics, improve workflows, and strengthen operational systems that support sustainable growth.
