Operations Manager – Ski and Binding Manufacturer

Looking for a unique, growth-oriented career in the mountains with flexibility, hybrid work, and time to shred pow? We’re looking for a dynamic, motivated individual to join our team that designs, manufactures, and sells telemark bindings and skies right here in the heart of the Vail valley.

The Operations Manager plays a very significant role in our small, dynamic organization assuring our manufacturing business operates in the most efficient and productive ways. You will be exposed to all aspects of running and growing a snowsports manufacturing business. Key to this role is the ability to collaboratively problem solve; innovate and develop processes that streamline production, fulfillment, and grow our business.  A perfect candidate should have analytical and practical skills, but most importantly, a strong work/play ethic and willingness to adapt, learn, and collaborate. This position can grow into a General Manager with profit sharing and ownership potential.

As a winter snowsports company, we are busiest from September to May and then have more flexibility and lighter hours in the off-season which can translate into a four-day workweek with Fridays off. Working hours are somewhat flexible as we are a results-oriented workplace, and include Powder Hours (6”+ reported) to ride until noon before starting work. Much of the work must be done in the Edwards Commercial Park shop, but remote work is possible, especially during the late spring and summer.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing order fulfillment and shipping (and OPS Assistant/Gear Guru position)
• Supplier relationships and development
• Purchasing and receiving of parts and products
• Inventory management – physical and online.
• Receiving Inspections (measuring dimensions on parts)
• Manufacturing (management of workflow and seasonal assemblers)
• Quality Assurance of finished goods (final inspections)
• Website maintenance
• Sales and Marketing support
• Product design and development support
• Bookkeeping in Quickbooks related to these duties

We are looking for:

• You currently live locally and have housing
• Organizational skills
• Strong work ethic
• Attention to detail
• Excellent communication
• Some Mechanical aptitude
• Good computer skills including spreadsheets
• QuickBooks experience is a plus but not required

Benefits: Flexible work week, generous vacation during summer, access to a healthcare plan, ski pass financing/support, and Pro Deals throughout the industry.
