Join our team and what we'll accomplish together

 

As Manager – Operations, you'll own the national operational engine that powers our Door-to-Door channel. You'll manage a team of QA specialists, govern external partner field staff, and control a $1M+ budget—all while removing barriers to sales success and accelerating customer delivery.

In parallel, you'll provide operational enablement to our Custom Home Security sales team, ensuring high-value deals close and execute flawlessly.

You'll build and lead an internal QA team focused on sales standards and execution integrity, while overseeing performance governance of 50+ external installation technicians nationally—ensuring consistency, quality, and accountability across the entire network.


Your operational programs are designed with one goal: eliminate obstacles to sales success. You'll strengthen vendor relationships, optimize inventory, and ensure every rep has what they need to win. The result? Faster installations, higher sales quality, and improved rep productivity. If you're an operations leader with proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder environments at scale—someone who's disciplined, strategic, and energized by operational excellence—this is your opportunity to lead national operations that directly enable sales success and impact thousands of customers.
