About the role
Director of Operations
Soofa is seeking a hands-on Director of Operations to own and scale its physical signage network across 60+ cities.
Role overview
This is a full-time, remote role combining field operations leadership with tech- and AI-forward workflow automation. It’s not a pure strategy seat—at least initially you’ll be building and running systems in partnership with engineering.
Responsibilities
- Own field operations and build the plan to scale and automate it over time
- Run supply chain and logistics for hardware
- Coordinate with component suppliers and installation vendors across the city network
- Handle general operations as business needs evolve (scope is deliberately broader than field ops)
- Build and run AI-assisted workflows and automation directly
- Partner with engineering on tooling (hands-on, not approval-only)
What we’re looking for
- 5+ years in operations, supply chain, or logistics leadership
- Ideally with experience in physical/hardware product contexts
- Track record managing vendor relationships and a field service / installation network at scale
- Comfortable with modern software and AI tools (actively uses them today)
- Experience/comfort as a hands-on, working manager
Nice-to-haves
- Background in adjacent physical-install industries such as:
- Solar installation
- EV charging network operations
- Telecom/cable field service
- Digital kiosk or vending networks
- Security system installation
- Familiarity with distributed install-and-maintenance network coordination
