We are specifically looking for someone who:

• Has run moving operations (crews, dispatch, scheduling)
• AND is comfortable generating business, building relationships, and closing opportunities

Operations Manager – Key Responsibilities

• Oversee daily operations for 2–6 moving crews , ensuring efficiency, productivity, and service quality
• Create schedules, assign crews, and manage all day‑of‑move dispatch and real‑time adjustments
• Conduct morning dispatch meetings and end‑of‑day performance check‑ins
• Monitor job progress, routes, timelines, and provide proactive customer updates
• Review completed jobs for accuracy in hours, mileage, materials used, and final invoicing
• Track and manage job profitability, on‑time performance, and customer satisfaction KPIs
• Maintain inventory of moving equipment and materials (blankets, dollies, straps, shrink wrap, tools, etc.)
• Ensure trucks are clean, fully stocked, properly maintained, and DOT‑compliant at all times
• Enforce company policies, safety procedures, and operational standards
• Resolve real‑time issues including delays, access challenges, extra stops, equipment needs, and staffing changes
• Support recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and training of movers and drivers
• Maintain fleet readiness and coordinate preventive maintenance and compliance requirements

• Conduct in‑person visits, networking, and outreach weekly
• Identify and close new revenue opportunities
• Develop partnerships that consistently generate booked moves
• Assist in converting inbound leads into confirmed jobs
• Work directly with ownership to increase revenue and market share

This is a relationship‑driven, boots‑on‑the‑ground sales role — not just answering phones.

Fleet, Equipment & Team

• Ensure trucks are clean, stocked, and ready daily
• Maintain inventory and equipment
• Coordinate maintenance and DOT readiness
• Lead crews, enforce standards, and maintain accountability
• Support hiring, onboarding, and training
