Operations Manager - Moving

Job Description

Job Description

Build Something From the Ground Up. Lead a Team. Grow Into Leadership.

Square Cow Moovers is launching in the Pinellas County market, backed by an established brand with a proven operating model. We are hiring one Operations Manager (Hands-On Coach) to help build and lead a high-performing team from the ground up.

This is not a traditional Operations role.

This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants more than a job...you’ll have direct ownership of team performance, operations, and customer experience, with a clear path to senior leadership as we grow.

Especially in the first 6-12 months, you will:

• Spend 50–75% of your time in the field on moving jobs
• Lift, carry, and move furniture with your team daily
• Work in heat, tight spaces, stairs, and fast-paced environments
• Lead by example—your team will mirror your work ethic
  

If you are looking for a primarily office-based or observational management role, this is not the right fit.

Compensation & Schedule

• Most Operations Managers earn between $65,000–$75,000 based on performance
• Base Salary: $55,000, with additional monthly performance bonuses
• Monthly performance bonuses, with high-performing managers consistently earning bonuses and top performers earning up to $1,600 per month
• Schedule: Typically 40–50 hours per week (higher during peak season)
• Guaranteed Sundays off – time reserved for rest, family, and personal commitments
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Additional allowances for healthcare and phone expenses
  

Future Opportunity:
High-performing managers may be eligible for equity participation after 12+ months , offering true ownership in the business.

The Role

This is a leadership-first role, with field involvement to support team performance and maintain high standards. You are both leader and operator .

You will:

• Lead, develop, and hold movers and drivers accountable to performance standards
• Ensure job quality, efficiency, and a consistently strong customer experience
• Identify and solve operational issues before they escalate
• Manage performance across key metrics (labor efficiency, damage reduction, customer satisfaction, and revenue)
• Support the team in the field when needed to maintain standards and lead by example
  

What Success Looks Like

• A reliable, well-trained team performing at a high level
• Strong customer reviews and minimal damage claims
• Efficient labor performance and consistent operational execution
• A scalable operation that supports business growth
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• Ground-floor opportunity in a new market
• Real ownership of outcomes—not just tasks
• Fast path to senior leadership
• Backed by a proven brand
• Opportunity to earn equity and long-term upside
  

Qualifications

• Experience in operations, logistics, or a service-based business
• Strong leadership and accountability mindset
• High ownership mentality...no task is beneath you
• Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities
• Willingness to perform physical labor
• Comfortable working in a physically active, fast-paced environment
• Experience in the moving industry (highly preferred) OR hands-on industries (construction, landscaping, service, military, athletics, etc.)
• Valid driver’s license (required)
  

This Role is NOT a Fit If:

• You prefer a desk-based work environment
• You are not comfortable with daily physical labor
• You prefer observing rather than doing
• You need a highly structured, fully built-out system
  

Hiring Process

Candidates should be comfortable completing standard pre-employment screenings, which may include a background check, drug-free workplace screening, motor vehicle record (MVR) check for driving roles, and employment eligibility verification.

If you’re looking for a leadership role where you can build a team, drive results, and grow with a company—we’d like to hear from you.

Benefits:

• Paid time off
• Additional allowances for healthcare and phone expenses
• Equity Partnership
