Operations Manager

Welcome to the Driver's Seat
Every great move has someone behind the scenes making it all click, and at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® that someone is you. As our Operations Manager, you are the heartbeat of the franchise: you keep the trucks rolling, the crews motivated, the customers smiling, and the numbers heading in the right direction. You'll run each day safely and successfully, hit our sales and profit goals, and keep us in step with our franchise agreement, system standards, and all applicable laws. You'll also help lead our Great Game of Business Profit Sharing program, where the whole team plays to win together and shares in the results.

What You'll Do

• Champion our brand and numbers: promote and protect the brand, own the scoreboard for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly sales and profit goals, and use financial and performance reports to find wins and trim costs.
• Build an all-star crew: determine staffing needs, interview, hire, onboard and train new team members, and keep all DOT and Driver Qualification files in top shape.
• Grow and coach people: support employee development, lead fair corrective action, keep everyone accountable to franchise standards, and assist with workers' compensation and unemployment claims.
• Keep us safe and rolling: lead a strong safety culture, keep safety policies current, oversee fleet maintenance and equipment inventory, and stay compliant with DOT and FMCSA rules.
• Make customers say "wow": handle concerns with a cool head and oversee damage resolution so every issue is made right.
• Be the one who's always there: serve as the after-hours emergency contact, keep learning through STICK MEN UNIVERSITY®, get involved in community and industry associations, and take on other projects assigned by the General Manager.

Leading the Crew

You’ll guide and support all of our movers and drivers day to day. When the General Manager is out, you step up and take the wheel with delegated authority for the franchise.

Who We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in business, management or a related field, and 5+ years of business, management or other relevant experience (both preferred).
• Experience in moving, transportation, logistics, delivery, fleet operations, warehousing, or a similar service-based operation is strongly preferred
• Bonus points if you dream of ownership: with the financial backing and a willingness to relocate, you could start or take over another franchise.

Your Toolkit

• Deep knowledge of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® policies and the moving industry, plus recruiting and retention know-how.
• Strong fleet safety, maintenance and transportation experience.
• The ability to lead by example, motivate and develop people, and make strong decisions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, organization and time management.
• A knack for assessing performance and turning it into improvement or corrective action.
• A friendly, professional, relentless go-get-it attitude with sharp focus and an eye for detail.
• Comfort in a fast-paced world, proven problem-solving skills, and a team-player mindset.
• Discretion with confidential information, and proficiency in Excel, Word and Outlook.
• A real commitment to customer service and our core values.

A Day in the Life

Most of your time is in the office, but this isn't a desk-only role. When we're short on movers, or when it's time to train, you'll hop on a truck and complete a move with the crew. That can mean lifting up to 100-500 pounds (with a partner or equipment for the heavier end). Travel is minimal, though it may be needed for training or to finish a move across state lines.

This opportunity is with the independently owned and operated TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise.
