Chief Operating Officer; COO

Company:
Box House

Location:

St. George, UT

Employment Type:

Full-Time

Box House designs and deploys foldable housing units built for fast manufacturing, rapid transport, and on-site setup. Our focus is scalable production and real-world deployment in housing and disaster response.

We are entering a growth phase and building the operational foundation needed to manufacture and deliver units at scale.

The COO will own end-to-end operations across manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and deployment.

This role is for a proven operator who has already scaled production in a physical manufacturing environment. You will be responsible for building the systems, teams, and supplier network required to move from low-volume production to repeatable, high-volume output.

This is not a strategy-only role. It requires direct ownership of execution and operational performance.

• Lead all operations: manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and deployment
• Translate company goals into executable production plans and measurable KPIs
• Build and execute a U.S.
  
  -based manufacturing strategy (in-house, contract manufacturing, or hybrid model)
• Establish and manage supplier and fabrication partner network
• Improve production throughput, cost efficiency, and quality control
• Build scalable workflows from fabrication through final deployment
• Partner with engineering to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability at scale
• Oversee logistics, transportation, and on-site deployment operations
• Hire and lead the operations team across manufacturing and supply chain

• 12+ years in operations, manufacturing, industrial production, or supply chain
• At least 5 years in senior leadership (COO, VP Operations, Head of Manufacturing, or equivalent)
• Must have directly scaled physical production volume (not software, services, or purely corporate operations)
• Proven experience building or running manufacturing systems, production lines, or contract manufacturing networks
• Experience managing suppliers, vendors, or fabrication partners at scale
• Preferred background: manufactured housing, modular construction, prefab systems, RV manufacturing, steel fabrication, or industrial product manufacturing
• Experience moving a product from early-stage production to high-volume output

• Strong ownership mindset with full operational accountability
• Proven ability to execute in fast-changing, early-stage environments
• Strong bias toward solving production constraints and bottlenecks
• Comfortable building structure where none exists
• Clear communicator who can align engineering, suppliers, and field operations

Competitive base salary and performance-based bonus.

This is a hands-on leadership role building the operational backbone of a manufacturing company producing deployable housing at scale.

Candidates without direct manufacturing scale-up experience should not apply.
