Director of operations

Director of Operations — Build the operation, then build the company. Burly Boyz Moving & Storage · Edmonton, AB (with national travel)

We've built a strong four-province moving and storage company — four depots, ~24 trucks, real systems, a real team. Now we're hiring our first Director of Operations to take it to the next level, and we're looking outside the company and industry to find them.

Here's the job, honestly:

For your first year, you'll live in the operation. You'll learn how every move runs across Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto, and you'll make the field run better — tighter crews, sharper foremen, cleaner execution, happier customers. You'll learn the operation before you redesign it.

Then you'll grow it. Once the field is humming and you've hired your own Operations Manager, you'll lead our expansion — standing up new locations and integrating acquisitions as we move from five depots toward many more.

This is position has real growth into a COO seat with real authority. Our founder is deliberately stepping back and wants an operator who owns this domain — not someone who waits for sign-off.

You're probably right for this if you've:

• Run a multi-site, crew-and-fleet field operation — logistics, freight, last-mile, distribution, courier, restoration, or similar.
• Owned operational margin and know how to find money in how work gets done.
• Built or scaled something hands-on, from the ground up.
• Been credible in the field and in the numbers.

You're probably not right if you need a big-company playbook, a layer of buffer between you and the work, or a comfortable title to land in.

The deal: $125K–$150K base plus a performance bonus tied to how well the operation runs and grows. Based in Edmonton, with regular travel to our depots.

This is a position with growth potential in mind, with possibility of C level roles in the future.

If you've run the kind of operation where trucks roll, crews deliver, and customers are happy — and you want to own one and then expand it — let's talk.
