Job Description
Chief Operating Officer managing operations for fast-growing clean-energy logistics company. Building systems, metrics, and processes to enable further scaling of operations.
Responsibilities:
- The full operations function across warehousing, freight, inventory, and fulfillment, including a national network of 3PL and warehouse partners, carrier selection, and specialized freight for heavy, oversized, and hazmat cargo such as transformers and lithium-ion batteries.
- The KPIs and the operating rhythm of the company, including weekly, monthly, and quarterly reviews, dashboards, and clear accountability against the plan.
- An honest read on the current team, then the work of getting the right people into the right roles so the company can set real targets on a stable base.
- The pipeline, forecasting, CRM, deal desk, and pricing discipline that connect commercial activity to capacity, without taking over the customer relationships.
- Strategy and rollout for the core operational stack (WMS, TMS, CRM, and ERP), plus the reporting that gives leadership real visibility.
- A compliance function built for scale, covering DOT hazmat and oversized-load permitting, plus oversight of the commercial contract and deal-review process.
- Coaching a team of experienced operations leaders, managing offshore support partners, and acting as a true strategic partner to the CEO, Board, and your fellow executives.
Requirements:
- 15 or more years in operations, supply chain, or general management, with at least 8 in a senior executive seat (COO, VP or SVP of Operations, GM, or similar).
- A clear record of building operating systems from the ground up, including KPIs, cadence, planning, and process. You have built it, not just inherited it.
- Real logistics or distribution experience with heavy industrial or renewable energy products (transformers, batteries, trackers, modules, or close equivalents).
- Hands-on experience leading WMS, TMS, ERP, and CRM projects from decision to go-live, not just using them.
- Experience running a multi-site or contracted 3PL network at scale.
- The credibility to partner with a CEO, a Board, and President-level peers, and the temperament to lead by building things other leaders want to use rather than by owning a P&L.
- A genuinely hands-on style and comfort scaling a founder-led or growth-stage business.**
- Nice to have: direct experience in solar, storage, or renewable energy distribution; NetSuite; a background in a PE-backed or founder-led company; and familiarity with a structured operating model such as EOS or Traction.
Benefits:
- Fully remote, with flexible time off for leadership.
- A real seat at the table on a small, fast-moving executive team, with the autonomy to build things your way.
- The chance to take a company through its next stage of scale and point to it as your story.
- A competitive executive package: base salary, performance bonus, and meaningful equity, so you share in the growth you help create.
- Discretionary time off policy (essentially unlimited)
- Health, vision, dental, and life insurance along with other voluntary benefits
- FSA/HSA options and Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Employee discounts and referral bonuses
- Professional development and volunteer time off
