Operations Lead
EINO
The Role
We’re hiring an Operations Lead to build the operational backbone for a growing business that includes hardware. This is a hands-on builder role: you’ll create simple, repeatable workflows across procurement, inventory, fulfillment, deployment coordination, and RMAs, and you’ll run the day-to-day cadence that keeps projects moving.
You don’t need to come from a massive supply chain org—but you do need strong judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to set up processes that scale.
What You’ll Own
Hardware operations (sourcing → readiness)
- Manage purchasing and supplier coordination for hardware and accessories (lead times, POs, delivery schedules).
- Maintain basic BOM/SKU structure and ensure hardware configurations are consistent and documented.
- Establish incoming checks and lightweight QA gates to reduce field failures.
- Coordinate packaging/kitting requirements so deployments arrive “install-ready.”
Inventory, logistics, and fulfillment
- Own inventory tracking: stock levels, reorder points, spares strategy, and clean recordkeeping.
- Run fulfillment workflows: shipping, labeling, kitting, tracking, and delivery confirmation.
- Coordinate with a 3PL (or build a simple internal process) and drive high fulfillment accuracy.
Deployment operations (with partners)
- Operationalize deployments with system integrators: scheduling, site readiness checklists, install handoffs, and go-live validation.
- Build a standardized deployment pipeline: intake → provisioning → ship → install → validate → steady state.
- Create clear escalation paths and “definition of done” for successful installs.
RMA and field reliability loop
- Build a practical RMA workflow: triage, replacement, return shipping, tracking, and root-cause feedback.
- Track failure patterns and partner with engineering/product to reduce repeat issues.
Operating cadence and cross-functional coordination
- Build simple ops reporting: inventory health, shipment status, deployment status, RMAs, and key blockers.
- Run weekly cadence with internal stakeholders and partners to keep deployments and escalations moving.
- Improve unit economics through fewer fulfillment mistakes, fewer repeat shipments, and better spares planning.
Requirements
- 5–10 years in operations roles covering some mix of hardware logistics, fulfillment, inventory, deployments, or customer delivery.
- Proven ability to build lightweight processes from scratch (SOPs, checklists, vendor coordination, dashboards).
- Strong vendor/partner coordination skills; comfortable holding people accountable with clarity and tact.
- High ownership and responsiveness—able to handle urgent issues while improving the system over time.
- Comfortable in a startup environment: ambiguity, speed, and doing the work yourself when needed.
Nice to Have
- Experience with connected devices, networking equipment, or field-deployed hardware.
- Familiarity with 3PLs, shipping tools, and basic inventory systems.
- Experience supporting multi-site rollouts through partners (SIs/MSPs).
What We Value
Ownership, speed, clarity, and high integrity. You like carrying a number, building playbooks, and making partners successful—without a huge team or perfect process.
