The role

- Run internal operations, including shipments, purchasing, inventory and the team's tool stack.

- Maintain a daily operating dashboard that tracks deliveries, overdue items and accounts due for follow-up.

- Plan for high-volume periods when many new sites launch at once.

- Spot recurring problems, document them as playbooks and automate tasks that do not need a person.

- Travel regularly to customer sites, including out-of-town locations.
