This role will be taking complex, ambiguous problems from\ndefinition through to working outcomes, and doing the actual work to get there. This is a role\nbuilt for a skilled generalist and requires versatility: someone who is equally at home designing\na workflow, building a data report, managing a vendor, or sitting with a team to document and\nimprove processes. If that sounds like you, read on!\nCORE is an electrical infrastructure company specializing in transformers, a critical component\npowering AI data centers, large-scale construction, and the modernization of the US power grid.\nIn an industry notorious for years-long lead times, we quote in minutes and ship the same day,\nbacked by over 1,000 units in stock and a unique product design that outperforms the major\nOEMs.\nWe were founded by the entrepreneurs behind Sunbelt and Maddox Industrial Transformers, the\ntwo biggest names in the preowned transformer space. The leadership team they've assembled\nbrings deep industry expertise alongside modern, high-growth operational experience.\nWe're on pace to 3x revenue this year, new team members are joining almost every month, and\nthe energy that comes with that is real. We want strong contributors who lift up those around\nthem, listen to ideas from anywhere in the org, and care more about getting the outcome right\nthan being the one who was right. If you do great work and you're a good human about it, you'll\nfit in here.\nThis position is an on-site role based in our Seneca, SC facility. CORE is not offering immigration sponsorship at this time.\nYour Mission\nCORE is scaling fast. The business has more high-priority operational initiatives than bandwidth\nto see them through faithfully, and that gap is where this role lives.\nYou'll report directly to our VP of Operations, serving as the trusted point person who takes\nownership of complex problems and sees them through to resolution. That means\nunderstanding the problem, designing the approach, coordinating whoever needs to be\ninvolved, and delivering a working outcome, not just status updates. You're not coordinating\nother people's execution. You are the execution, with others' cooperation.\nThe work spans pricing strategy, technology and systems implementations, process\ndocumentation, vendor relationships, data infrastructure, people-facing workflow design, and\nmore. This isn't a role where someone hands you a playbook. You're often building it. And when\nit's done, you'll hand it off to the team that runs it every day.\nA Day in the Life\nYour morning may start with a check-in on the pending NetSuite implementation. You're\ncoordinating with the outside consulting team on a data mapping question, having already\npulled the relevant documentation and drafted a requirements summary so the call stays\nfocused and productive.\nMid-morning, a manager needs a new Power BI report: pipeline by product type, segmented by\nregion. You build it, QA it, and send it over with a plain-language note on how to read it.\nAfter lunch, you're evaluating two expense reporting platforms the team has been considering.\nYou've built a comparison matrix and are drafting a one-pager recommendation for your VP.\nLate afternoon, you're with the HR team mapping the current hiring workflow. You've identified\nthree manual steps that should be automated, and you've already made the changes directly.\nEvery day looks a little different.\nWho You Are\nYou're the kind of person who notices things. When you're walking through a team's workflow,\nyou see the friction point before anyone names it. When you're looking at data, you spot the\npattern no one asked you to find. You bring those observations forward as structured\nrecommendations your VP can act on.\nYou build structure in ambiguous situations. When there's no template, you create one. When a\nprocess lives in someone's head, you sit with them until it lives in a document. You don't wait for\nperfect information, but you ask the right questions before you prescribe a solution.\nYou're analytically wired without being too rigid. You can build a report, run an analysis, and turn\nit into something a decision-maker can act on. You're an early adopter by nature, you've already\nexplored what AI tools can do beyond the basics, and you get genuinely excited about fixing\ninefficiencies with amazing technology.\nYou don't need a team reporting to you to feel effective. People like interacting with you, and you\ndrive operational momentum by making work easier and more focused across the entire\ncompany.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nOwn cross-functional operational projects from kickoff through delivery, managing scope,\ntimelines, and execution. You do the work, not just coordinate it.\nObserve how teams work, identify friction and inefficiency proactively, and bring\nstructured recommendations to leadership.\nDocument and improve core business workflows to support system implementations,\nteam training, and operational alignment.\nServe as the internal bridge between business stakeholders and external technical\nvendors, defining requirements and keeping projects on track.\nBuild and maintain reports and dashboards that turn data into decisions other teams can\nact on.\nIdentify automation and efficiency opportunities across the business and drive\nimplementation from scoping through rollout.\nEvaluate and recommend new tools and platforms, building clear business cases with\nfeature comparisons, cost analysis, and integration considerations.\nDesign and roll out KPI and SMART goal frameworks at the team level, ensuring the\nright inputs are tracked across functions.\nSupport ongoing NetSuite ERP coordination alongside third-party consulting partners.\nDevelop working familiarity with end-to-end business processes across engineering,\nprocurement, logistics, marketing, HR, and customer service.\nWhat You'll Need to Succeed\n3-5 years of experience in operations, project management, business analysis, or a\nclosely related generalist role, ideally in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment.\nBachelor's degree in business, operations, engineering, supply chain, or equivalent\npractical experience.\nDemonstrated experience owning projects end to end with loosely defined scope,\ndesigning the approach and completing the work.\nProven ability to prioritize competing initiatives by expected business impact under\npressure.\nGeneral technology fluency: hands-on experience with enterprise systems (ERP, CRM,\nBI tools), comfortable learning new platforms quickly, and enough systems thinking to\ndefine requirements and coordinate with technical vendors.\nData analysis capability: building reports, pulling insights from spreadsheets, turning\nanalysis into actionable recommendations.\nExperience defining business requirements and coordinating with technical teams or\nexternal vendors to deliver on them.\nComfortable communicating directly with VP-level leadership, presenting\nrecommendations, not just status updates.\nStrong written and verbal communication across audiences, from the warehouse floor to\nthe executive team.\nSelf-starting builder's disposition: you create structure where none exists, follow through\nwithout being chased, and leave things more organized than you found them.\nBonus Points If You Have...\nHands-on NetSuite experience: saved searches, custom fields, workflows, dashboards,\nor data mapping.\nExperience with BI tools such as Power BI.\nDemonstrated use of AI tools in a business context, with real opinions about what works.\nBackground in B2B or industrial environments, particularly manufacturing or distribution.\nExperience at a fast-growing or early-stage company where you had to build things from\nscratch.\nSome people management experience.\nA sense of humor. We work hard and we like to enjoy it.\nSchedule & Location\nFull-time, on-site in Seneca, SC. On-site presence is required; we are not considering remote or\nhybrid arrangements. A relocation package is available for the right candidate.\nStandard schedule: 40 hours per week, Monday-Friday. Some flexibility around early or late\nrequests is expected given our team spans multiple time zones, but these are typically\ninfrequent.\nTotal Rewards:\nCompetitive base salary, quarterly bonus program (based on EBITDA performance.\nBenefits\n10 days of PTO to start, plus paid holidays\nMedical, Dental, and Vision, paid disability & life insurance coverage\n401(k) plan with 100% match on first 3%, 50% match from 4-5%\nHow to Apply\nAttach your resume and include a short note in the cover letter field: a few sentences on why\nthis role appeals to you and why you'd be a strong fit. For major bonus points: include the word sassafras somewhere in your cover letter comments. It's how we know you read all the way to the end, and honestly, we think people who do that\ntend to be the right kind of people.\nCORE Transformers is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
