Job Description
Operations Manager - $100K-$125K Base + Uncapped Profit Sharing ($300K-$500K Potential)
Hajoca Richmond Richmond, VA Full-Time
Hajoca Richmond is one of the country's largest wholesale distributors of plumbing, HVAC, and industrial supplies - and we're growing fast: five record years in a row, up 35% YTD. We're looking for a results-driven Operations Manager to run the engine of a $50-$60M operation.
This is not a maintenance job. We want a proven leader who lives in the data and can show us real results. We don't want a follower.
What you'll do:
Key Indeed optimizations: the pay range is in the title (Indeed ranks and filters heavily on comp, and titles with salary get far more clicks), the role title stays clean and searchable, it's roughly half the length, and the must-have keywords (Operations Manager, warehouse, distribution, Lean Six Sigma, KPI, vendor management) are placed where Indeed's search picks them up.
One note: if you post this through Hajoca's official Indeed account, the salary in the title may conflict with their corporate template - worth confirming John's okay with comp being that visible before it goes live. Want a version with the salary out of the title as a backup?
