About the Opportunity

Our client is a rapidly growing, privately owned leader in luxury home automation, delivering best-in-class AV, smart home, and low-voltage solutions across New York and New Jersey. They’re at a pivotal growth stage—and are looking for a Director of Operations to step in and truly run the engine of the business.

This is a high-impact, roll-up-your-sleeves leadership role where you’ll own everything from field operations to profitability. You won’t just manage the business—you’ll help build and scale it.

What You’ll Do

• Take full ownership of daily operations, leading both field teams and project execution from start to finish
• Keep the business running at full speed by ensuring technicians are fully scheduled with billable work (using tools like Basecamp)
• Drive projects forward—owning timelines, quality, and client satisfaction on high-end residential installs
• Ensure every job is set up for success by coordinating materials, tools, and resources
• Partner with the financial side of the business using QuickBooks to stay aligned on job costing, budgets, and profitability
• Hire, develop, and lead a tight-knit team of installers (3–10), building a high-performance, accountable culture
• Jump into the field when needed—troubleshooting AV systems, Control4 automation, and Cisco/IP networks
• Identify gaps, solve problems, and continuously improve efficiency, output, and margins
• Own scheduling, workforce planning, and overall team productivity

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in AV, home automation, or low-voltage systems
• 4+ years of leadership experience managing teams and operations
• Strong hands-on expertise with Control4, Cisco, IP networking, and Lutron systems
• Proven success leading small, high-performing field teams (3–10 people)
• Experience owning scheduling, installs, and driving team output
• Confidence stepping into the field to troubleshoot and solve complex technical issues
• A sharp operational mindset with a focus on efficiency, accountability, and profitability
• A scrappy, builder mentality—you take ownership, figure things out, and get it done

Why This Role Stands Out

• Run the show – Full ownership of operations with real influence on company growth
• Build something meaningful – Help scale a business in a booming luxury market
• Stay hands-on – Perfect blend of leadership and technical involvement
• High-end work – Work on cutting-edge smart home systems in luxury residences
• Strong compensation – Competitive base + quarterly bonus + relocation support
