Director of Operations

You are a seasoned, highly capable Director of Operations who can own all operational delivery for Lift Net end to end - field services, installation/project delivery, customer onboarding and success, and vendor and supply-chain management. You'll lead, mature, and optimize our field and delivery organization, taking on operational responsibilities currently managed by the GM. You'll bring the structure, discipline, and accountability needed to support growth while making on-time, high-quality installations the standard.

You’ll be an exceptional operations leader and strategist; someone who has run complex, multi-site service or field-delivery operations at scale and can step in, assess, and lead from day one.
