About the Role:

The Program Manager – Operations is execution engine across ops and supply chain. This is a generalist, high-ownership role for someone who can run multiple workstreams at once, chase down whatever's blocking progress — whether that's a vendor, a government office, a contractor, or an internal team — and keep things moving without needing to be told twice. The role spans everything from warehouse launch readiness and vendor/replenishment coordination to hiring support and recurring ops reporting.

It suits someone equally comfortable on a call chasing an approval, on the ground at a warehouse site, or in a spreadsheet pulling numbers for leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Program & Project Execution

- Own end-to-end delivery of cross-functional ops/supply-chain initiatives (e.g., new warehouse launches, vendor onboarding, systems rollouts) — build the plan, track it, and drive it to closure.
- Break down large initiatives into workstreams with clear owners and deadlines; keep a live view of what's on-track, at-risk, or blocked.
- Run the cadence — status check-ins, follow-ups, and escalations — so nothing stalls silently.

Cross-Functional & Vendor Coordination

- Act as the connective tissue between warehouse ops, category/replenishment, last-mile/dispatch, tech, HR, and legal/compliance — unblocking dependencies between teams.




- Coordinate directly with vendors and suppliers on onboarding, PO fulfillment, replenishment cadence, and issue resolution; chase open items until closed.
- Liaise with external parties — contractors, consultants, government/licensing offices — to push through approvals, registrations, and installations.

Warehouse & Launch Readiness

- Track and drive closure of pre-launch readiness workstreams for current sites (legal/licensing, physical fit-out, systems, manpower/SOPs) against target go-live dates.
- Surface realistic timelines and risks to leadership proactively, rather than assuming stated deadlines will hold.

Hiring & Team Build-out Support

- Support ops/category hiring — tracking open roles, coordinating interview pipelines, and following up with candidates and hiring managers to keep the process moving.

Reporting & Dashboards

- Own recurring ops reporting (throughput, inventory, vendor performance, hiring pipeline) — pulling data directly from source systems so leadership isn't chasing numbers manually.
- Flag data or process gaps that get in the way of clean, repeatable reporting.

Process & Documentation

- Document and standardize processes and SOPs across ops functions as they mature; drive adoption across teams.
