Director of Operations; Franchise​/Multi-Unit Leadership

Director of Operations (Franchise / Multi-Unit Leadership)

Edison, NJ | Competitive Compensation + Bonus Potential

We’re partnering with a high‑growth, entrepreneurial organization in Edison, NJ that’s hiring a Director of Operations to help scale and strengthen execution across the business. This is a leadership role for someone who understands franchise or multi‑unit environments and knows how to build structure, drive consistency, and improve performance across locations/teams.

This is not a “keep things steady” role. They want a builder—someone who’s led operations in a fast‑moving business, tightened up processes, created accountability, and driven measurable results.

• Lead day‑to‑day operations with a focus on consistency, performance, and scalable execution.
• Drive franchise/multi‑unit operational standards across locations: processes, compliance, training, and service delivery.
• Build and improve SOPs, playbooks, and operating rhythms to keep teams aligned and executing.
• Create and run KPI scorecards and dashboards; lead weekly/monthly performance reviews.
• Identify operational gaps (people, process, systems) and implement solutions that stick.
• Improve cost control, scheduling, vendor management, and operational efficiency.
• Partner with leadership on growth initiatives: new locations, expansion readiness, and rollout execution.
• Strengthen leadership across the field—coaching managers, setting expectations, and holding accountability.
• Own cross‑functional alignment between operations, finance, sales/marketing, and support teams.

• 5+ years of operations leadership experience with clear ownership of performance and execution.
• Strong franchise, multi‑unit, or location‑based operations background (must‑have).
• Proven success building structure: SOPs, training, KPIs, accountability cadences, and operational playbooks.
• Strong people leadership—can coach, elevate, and hold leaders accountable without hand‑holding.
• Analytical and metrics‑driven (strong Excel; comfortable with dashboards and operational reporting).
• Comfortable in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment where priorities shift and solutions need to be practical.

• High‑impact leadership seat with direct visibility to ownership/executive leadership.
• Real autonomy—this role owns operational performance and improvements.
• Growth runway as the business expands—opportunity to lead bigger scope over time.
• Work that’s measurable, respected, and tied directly to company success.
