VP of Operations | Equity Partner | Scale from 1 to National Platform

Location: Columbus, OH (On-site)


The Mission: Build the Machine, Not Just Run It

We aren't looking for a steward to maintain a legacy; we are looking for an architect to build a national powerhouse.


We are currently in the high-growth phase of scaling a B2B platform into a multi-facility, national footprint. This isn't a role for someone who likes "layers." This is for the leader who wants their fingerprints on every process, every plant, and every line of the P&L as we transition from a regional player to a dominant national brand.


Why This is Different

  • True Equity: You aren't just an employee; you’re a stakeholder. You’ll receive direct equity participation from Day 1.
  • The COO Track: This role is designed to evolve into the Chief Operating Officer as the platform matures.
  • Total Autonomy: You have the mandate to build your own team, select your own tech stack, and define the operating rhythm.
  • Direct Partnership: You will work side-by-side with the CEO on acquisition integration and board-level strategy.


The Profile: The "Inches Away" Leader

You’ve likely hit a ceiling in a mid-market firm or are tired of the red tape in a $500M organization. You miss the "war room" environment.


  • The "Doer" DNA: You can pivot from a board meeting to a plant floor walkthrough without missing a beat.
  • Scaling Veteran: You’ve lived through the "messy middle" of scaling a B2B/Manufacturing operation from $20M to $100M (or similar).
  • Architect Mindset: You don't just follow KPIs; you define them. You know how to build a reporting rhythm that creates radical accountability.
  • Multi-Site Mastery: You have a proven track record of managing Plant Managers and unifying disparate sites into a cohesive culture.


The Scope of Ownership

  • Direct Leadership: Oversight of Plant Managers and cross-functional heads (Supply Chain, IT, Procurement, Customer Service).
  • Operational Excellence: Standardizing the "Playbook" for national rollout.
  • M&A Integration: Helping assess and absorb new facilities into the platform.


Are You Ready?

If you’re looking for a comfortable seat and a pre-written manual, this isn't it. But if you want to point at a national company three years from now and say, "I built that," we should talk.
