Operations Manager

We’re seeking a hands-on Operations Manager to lead the people, processes, systems, and resources that move our work from sold-job handoff through planning, scheduling, field execution, client communication, quality control, documentation, billing readiness, and closeout. This is not a position for someone who wants to manage from a distance. The right leader will understand the details of day-to-day operations, build trust with office and field teams, create accountability, improve processes, protect client commitments, and help LSI grow profitably without losing the high-touch service and family-owned culture that set us apart. We are looking for someone who genuinely wants to own Operations for the long term. This role is best suited for a leader who finds purpose in developing people, strengthening systems, solving operational problems, and producing a positive impact for the team and clients. At Langston Security & Integration (LSI), we specialize in advanced security and audio-visual systems for commercial, enterprise-level, healthcare, and multi-site properties/property management. Here, you won't just fill a role; you'll build a career, lead key teams, and make a visible impact every day in a supportive culture that values professional growth and work-life balance. What Success Looks Like Operations priorities are transitioned into clear plans, owners, deadlines, and consistent follow-through. Project Management, Client Support, Field Operations, and Warehouse/Inventory functions work together with fewer gaps and stronger handoffs. Employees understand expectations, receive practical coaching, and are held accountable in a fair and consistent manner. ServiceTitan and other company systems contain timely, accurate, and useful operational information. Client concerns are addressed promptly, professionally, and through completion. Operational risks involving schedules, labor, materials, budgets, quality, safety, or client commitments are identified early and actively managed. Processes become more repeatable and scalable while the team remains flexible enough to respond to changing business needs. The Leader We Are Looking For A strong, approachable people leader who earns the respect of both office and field employees. An excellent communicator who is positive, direct, professional, and comfortable addressing difficult issues when necessary. Highly process-oriented and organized, without becoming rigid or resistant to change. Adaptable and able to pivot smoothly as priorities, schedules, and client needs change. A quick learner and strong student of the business who is curious about systems, technology, clients, and industry practices. Customer-service-minded and capable of stepping into escalated client situations with sound judgment and follow-through. A practical partner in strategy and innovation who can convert ideas into workable processes, training, system changes, and measurable adoption. Comfortable working at both the leadership level and in the operational details. Motivated by long-term ownership of Operations rather than viewing the role primarily as a stepping stone to an executive title.
