About Micro Center Service

Micro Center Service is a high-volume, revenue-generating technical services business operating inside Micro Center retail stores across the country. Service teams diagnose, repair, upgrade, and configure customer technology while delivering trusted advice, fast turnaround, and an exceptional customer experience.

Service at Micro Center blends technical expertise, operational execution, sales accountability, and leadership — and plays a critical role in customer loyalty and store performance.

About the Role

We are seeking a self‑motivated, results‑driven Retail Service Operations Manager (Field) to join our team. The Retail Service Operations Manager (Field) is a senior, field-based Service leadership role responsible for strengthening Service operations and leadership capability in Micro Center stores facing complexity, instability, or sustained performance challenges.

This role is deployed into stores to assess problems, coach leaders, stabilize operations, and drive durable improvement. While hands-on engagement may be required to model standards and decision-making, this position is not a permanent store manager role and does not exist to add labor capacity.

Success is measured by lasting improvement — stronger leaders, better decisions, and operational results that persist after the engagement ends.

What You’ll Do

• Diagnose complex Service performance challenges across people, process, workflow, and execution.
• Lead short-term stabilizations and turnaround in high-risk or underperformance Service locations.
• Coach Computer Service Managers and store leadership on operational judgment and leadership behaviors.
• Improve Service workflow, productivity, queue health, turnaround time, and customer experience.
• Translate district-level expectations into practical, store-level execution.
• Identify root causes rather than surface symptoms and guide leaders toward sustainable solutions.
• Model strong technical-service decision making.
• Partner with Service Operations, District leadership, Training, and HR during field engagements.
• Document observations, risks, and recommendations clearly and objectively.
• Ensure improvements are durable and reduce the need for repeated intervention.

What We’re Looking For

• Five (5)+ years of senior retail leadership.
• Proven leadership experience in computer repair, technical services, or electronics-based service operations.
• Background in production-driven, productivity-measured environments.
• Demonstrated success leading or coaching teams through turnarounds or operational recovery.
• Strong operational and diagnostic mindset.
• Experience balancing technical execution, customer experience, and sales accountability.
• Comfortable operating independently in complex, high-pressure environments.
• Willingness to travel extensively nationwide to our store locations – up to 75% travel.
• This position is based out of our home office in Columbus, Ohio.

How Success Is Measured

• Measurable Service improvement relative to each store’s baseline.
• Improvements that persist after on-site support concludes.
• Stronger decision-making and independence from Service leaders.
• Reduced escalation and repeat intervention.
• Clear operational standards, improved execution, and increased resilience.
