Operations Manager

A Career Opportunity for a True Integrator

Are you a proven operations leader who thrives on the challenge of running a business, but doesn't want the 24/7 risk of owning it? Are you feeling capped in your current role, wishing you had the full authority to build systems, lead a team, and own the results?

Dreamers Event Rentals in Reisterstown, Maryland is currently seeking to acquire top-tier operational talent for this key leadership position.

This isn't a standard job opening. It's a career-defining opportunity for a leader who loves to execute a vision. You won't just be managing a department; you'll be building and running it, with the full authority and support to make it your own.

The Opportunity: What You'll Own and Build

We are looking for a strategic partner to the owner, who will take 100% ownership of our operational fulfillment. Your mission is to build a world-class operation that is safe, efficient, and profitable, allowing the team around you to thrive.

Your key areas of ownership will include:

• People Leadership: Lead, manage, and develop the entire operations team (warehouse staff, drivers, and setup crews). You will be responsible for hiring, training, scheduling, and performance management.
• Flawless Logistics: Own all routing, dispatch, and team scheduling. You'll be the high-level problem-solver who guides the team through logistical challenges and ensures a perfect client experience.
• Inventory & Warehouse Mastery: Take full ownership of our inventory's integrity, accuracy, and maintenance. You will manage and refine all warehouse processes (pulling, loading, returns, cleaning, repair) for maximum efficiency.
• Systems & Process: Be the architect of our operational playbook. You will build, implement, and document the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that eliminate errors, reduce waste, and allow the operation to scale.
• Budget & Asset Management: Manage the operations labor budget, fleet maintenance, and inventory costs, ensuring we hit the ambitious profitability targets that directly fund your bonus.

We're Looking for a Leader Who Is...

• An "Integrator" Mindset: You are the rare type of leader who loves to run the day-to-day. You're wired to take a vision and make it real, and you're at your best when you have full accountability for the P&L, the people, and the processes that make a company successful.
• A Proven Operator: You have 5 years of experience in high-stakes operations or logistics (e.g., event rentals, warehousing, supply chain, military logistics, or similar).
• A Gifted People Manager: You have a track record of hiring, training, and managing field/warehouse teams. You know how to be firm but fair and motivate a team to win.
• Calm Under Pressure: You are the calm in the storm. You don't get rattled; you make a clear plan and empower the team around you to execute.
• A "Systems-Builder": You aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, but your real talent is building the system so you don't have to. You see "fires" as symptoms of a broken process, and you're driven to fix them.
• Financially-Minded: You understand how labor costs, truck routes, and damaged inventory directly impact a P&L.
• Required: Valid driver's license and clean driving record; ability to manage a demanding, seasonal schedule that includes some nights/weekends.
