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
