We work together and support each other. Never Enough – Continuous improvement is our standard, regardless of position or tenure. It is how we compete with much larger companies. Mean It – We own our commitments and our results. We keep our word and solve problems rather than assign blame. Position Summary The Launch Operations Manager takes every new building from signed agreement to first guest. You order everything, get it delivered and installed, and make sure every unit is ready on the committed date. You report to the Director of Operations. The planning is the easy part. The hard part is the last ten days on site, when the sofas arrive damaged, the locksmith doesn’t show and guests are booked for Friday. There is no separate install team. You are the launch team.
