Operations Manager (Contract)

Job Description

Job Description

We're Jiffy! We launched over a decade ago with a simple mission: use technology to combine an unparalleled level of customer service with the fastest delivery in the blank apparel, direct-to-film transfer, and custom apparel industry. We're more than a T-Shirt company; we're a support system for the creator economy, the home hobbyist, the small business owner, and more. Today, we help millions of small businesses and customers build their vision from scratch! We are bootstrapped and profitable — no VC playbook, no burn-rate math — which means every market we open has to earn its way to expansion on real operating results.

This is a genuinely hands-on role. You'll run a project plan in the morning and count cases on the floor in the afternoon. We're not looking for someone who has only managed people who did this work — we need someone who has personally set up receiving, run cycle counts, and chased a variance to root cause. If the pilot succeeds, this role leads the expansion and the contract extends with it.

You'll report to our VP of Operations. This is a 3-month contract engagement with the potential to extend. If the pilot succeeds, this role leads the expansion and the engagement extends with it.

Requirements

Basic Qualifications

• 3–5 years in operations, supply chain, or project management a generalist who can run a project plan in the morning and support inventory management in the afternoon.
• Hands-on warehouse experience is required: you have personally set up receiving, run cycle counts, or run pick/pack operations not just managed people who did.

• Clear, concise communicator. Your counts and readouts feed executive decisions, so they need to be right and they need to be legible.
• Advanced spreadsheet skills (Excel or Google Sheets) you can build a tracker, a reconciliation, and a KPI readout without waiting on anyone.
• Dallas-based with reliable transportation. The operation runs 7 days per week and flexibility is a requirement, including weekend and off-hours coverage during launch if needed.
• Able to perform the physical demands of the role, including moving through a warehouse environment and handling cases during receiving and counts.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience opening or standing up a new site, market, or fulfillment operation.
• Apparel, e-commerce, 3PL, or high-SKU distribution experience.
• Experience working alongside a 3PL or external fulfillment partner as the customer-side operator.
