About Airvida

Airvida is a fast-growing hyperbaric chamber and red light therapy company. We ship high-ticket wellness equipment into homes and clinics across the United States and Canada, helping customers improve recovery, performance, and long-term health. Our product line includes soft shell and hard shell hyperbaric chambers and red light therapy beds, ranging in price from $10,000 to over $50,000.

The Role

We are looking for an Operations Manager to own the physical execution of our business: the warehouse, the inventory inside it, and every customer's journey from order through installation.

Our units range from 200 to 4,000 pounds and typically require freight scheduling, site survey, white-glove delivery, professional setup, and customer training. The Operations Manager is the single owner of making all of that happen on time, on budget, and at a quality level that protects the customer experience at the moment of truth, when a high-ticket product arrives at someone's door.

This is a hands-on operations leadership role. You will run the warehouse floor, design the systems that scale our delivery network, and lead the team responsible for post-sale customer success.

Key Responsibilities

Warehouse Management

  • Design and maintain a zone-based warehouse layout: Receiving, Raw Materials, Finished Goods, and Shipping, with every location labeled and scannable.
  • Establish put-away rules and pick paths that support accurate, fast fulfillment.
  • Run daily and weekly cycle count cadence to maintain 100% inventory accuracy.
  • Manage inbound receiving from domestic suppliers, ocean container clearance, and customs documentation for international shipments.
  • Own warehouse safety: forklift operations, OSHA-compliant material handling, lifting protocols for 200 to 4,000 pound units.
  • Set visual management standards and enforce them.

Inventory Management

  • Maintain a single source of truth across all SKUs including chambers, red light beds, parts, and accessories.
  • Set reorder points and safety stock by SKU based on real consumption data.
  • Coordinate inbound supply planning with the CEO and manufacturer contacts in China and the United States.
  • Reconcile physical counts to system records weekly and resolve variances.
  • Manage parts inventory for service work, warranty replacements, and field technician kits.

Post-Sale Execution

  • Own the customer experience from order confirmation through installation completion as the single point of accountability.
  • Run weekly Customer Experience reviews with leadership and surface escalations early.
  • Gate every order through pre-sale qualification, confirming physical space, electrical requirements, access path, prescription if required, and financing, before it enters fulfillment.
  • Serve as the escalation point for customer issues between order and 60 days post-install.
  • Lead the post-sale team including shipping coordination, customer onboarding, and installation scheduling.

Delivery, Installation, and Field Service

  • Manage freight carrier relationships (SAIA, FedEx, DHL, regional LTL) with negotiated rates and documented service level agreements.
  • Create Delivery Plan files for every complex delivery involving stairs, elevators, narrow turns, basements, or crane requirements.
  • Require FaceTime site surveys before close on any non-ground-floor install, and build that requirement into the sales workflow.
  • Expand the field technician network using a hybrid model: full-time Field Specialists in core markets (Texas, Florida, California) plus contracted certified technicians through Field Nation or DME partnerships for national coverage.
  • Maintain delivery tier pricing across shipping-only, professional delivery and install, and white-glove premium installation.
  • Track every install for completion time, cost variance, customer satisfaction, and issue rate.

Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Work with the internal sales team to ensure that every deal entering post-sale execution is completed appropriately and to standard.
  • Work with the leadership team on invoicing accuracy, cost of goods reconciliation, inventory management, and freight cost allocation.

Systems and Reporting

  • Operate within Shopify for order management, inventory visibility, and shipping label generation.
  • Use HubSpot to log post-sale touchpoints and maintain pipeline visibility.
  • Maintain a weekly operations dashboard tracking inventory accuracy, average days from order to install, install cost per unit, customer NPS, freight cost as a percent of revenue, and on-time delivery rate.

What You'll Bring

  • 5 or more years of operations management experience with direct warehouse and inventory ownership.
  • Hands-on experience with big-and-bulky freight and white-glove delivery. Comparable product categories include fitness equipment, home appliances, furniture, hot tubs, medical equipment, hyperbaric chambers, or similar oversized residential goods.
  • Inventory management system experience as a daily operator or implementer, with platforms such as NetSuite, Fishbowl, ShipHero, SkuVault, Cin7, or similar WMS or ERP.
  • Direct experience managing freight carriers and negotiating LTL and freight rates.
  • Forklift certified and comfortable on the warehouse floor.
  • Proven track record of building and maintaining 100% inventory accuracy. There is no margin of error for our product.
  • Experience standing up or expanding a field service or installation network across multiple states.
  • Strong people leadership skills, including the ability to set clear performance expectations, coach team members, and make difficult personnel decisions when required.
  • Excellent communication skills across sales, finance, manufacturing, and customer-facing contexts.

Nice to Have

  • Background in durable medical equipment (DME), medical devices, or consumer health products.
  • Reverse logistics experience with a service or refurbishment program.
  • International supply chain experience with manufacturers in China, including ocean freight and customs.
  • Familiarity with Shopify, HubSpot, or Aloware.
  • OSHA, DOT, or hazmat certifications.

What Success Looks Like in Year One

  • Inventory accuracy at 100%, verified by cycle count.
  • On-time delivery rate of 95% or higher.
  • Under 14 days from order to installed for ground-floor installs, under 21 days for complex installs.
  • Install cost variance within 10% of quoted cost on 90% or more of jobs.
  • 10 or more states with reliable install coverage.
  • A capable, accountable operations team in place.

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary commensurate with experience. Performance bonus tied to the success metrics outlined above. Standard benefits package. Full-time onsite at our Kansas warehouse facility.
