You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with Technology, Facilities, Product, and Finance teams to translate strategic objectives into actionable plans, ensuring that Vault HQ remains a world-class operation that scales with Fanatics Collectibles’ rapid growth.

- Manage key external partners and vendors, including logistics, facility, and service providers, to ensure SLA adherence and performance accountability.
- Develop and implement standard operating frameworks that drive consistency, efficiency, and sustainable results across teams.
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Technology teams to deploy tools, automation, and process improvements that enhance throughput and reliability.
- Establish and maintain site governance mechanisms — including KPI reviews, performance dashboards, and continuous improvement programs.
- Build and lead high-performing teams, developing leaders and fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and operational ownership.
- Champion safety, compliance, and security, maintaining the highest standards of operational integrity and regulatory adherence.
- Represent Vault HQ in enterprise planning, expansion discussions, and strategic business reviews to align site capabilities with future growth.

## Who You Are

- A results-driven operations leader with 10+ years of experience in large-scale site or regional operations, distribution, or logistics.
- Experienced in facility expansion, capital project execution, and infrastructure scaling.
- Skilled in vendor management, contract negotiation, and external partnership development.
- Adept at using data, KPIs, and financial metrics to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement.
- A collaborative, people-focused leader who develops teams, builds culture, and creates clarity in complex, fast-moving environments.
- Strong in cross-functional influence, balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution.
- Familiar with continuous improvement principles such as Lean or Six Sigma (certification a plus).

Success Measures

- Achievement of site performance KPIs across safety, quality, and cost.
- On-time, on-budget delivery of site expansion and infrastructure projects.
- Improved vendor performance through clear governance and SLA adherence.
- Scalable systems, workflows, and processes supporting rapid growth.
- High engagement and development within site leadership and staff.
