It cannot be wrong.\nMonday is her honeymoon, not your reship window.\nThat is the job. You run the floor that gets her flowers there perfect, on the day... alongside the thousands of other orders shipping that same week.\nWhat Sola Wood Flowers is...\nWe make better flowers for less: affordable, eco-friendly wooden flowers. They now show up in more than 6% of American weddings a year.\nZero to ~100 people in under 4 years.\nNow we are building the modernized, vertically-integrated platform north of 100mm across DTC, owned retail, and wholesale. Everything handcrafted. All of it going into real weddings.\nWho this is not for\nGenuine will-to-win. No work is beneath us. Do more with less, fast. We make decisions with data (the only fight is how to read it).\nNo politics, no busy work, no corporate chicanery.\nThis is not a stress-free corporate 9-to-5. Demanding pace, long hours.\nIf you would not know what to do with the free time anyway... keep reading.\nWhy you would want it\nYou build the operation. You do not warm a seat.\nSmart people, low drama, real ownership. You win when we win, and we back that with a clear comp philosophy (not a title).\nAnd here is the part most operators never get.\nYou run the floor on an AI-native ERP. Ask it a question in plain English and get the answer... no SQL, no ticket, no waiting three days on an analyst. Need a tool that does not exist yet? Build and launch it yourself, no developer required.\nReal-time data. A modern WMS.\nMost operators spend their careers fighting legacy software. Here a good operator gets real leverage instead.\nWhat you own, and the day\nRun manufacturing, custom wedding builds, and eCommerce fulfillment as one operation.\nHit or beat KPIs: throughput, on-time ship, quality, cost per unit.\nProtect on-time delivery on every wedding order. Fixed date. No do-over.\nBalance bespoke bridal builds against high-volume pick, pack, ship.\nWalk the floor at 7am. Catch the bottleneck before it costs a ship day.\nLead and develop ~100 people. Grow your supervisors.\nLive lean and kaizen. Cut waste. Own the HR and admin load too.\nFeed product real signal on packaging, materials, buildability.\nWhat you need\nManaged ~75 to 100-plus people, and owned the number when it got missed.\nHands-on lean manufacturing and kaizen.\nComfortable inside ERPs and a WMS.\nOn-site daily in Monterrey (Finsa Guadalupe).\nFluent written and spoken English.\nStrong with data (Excel/Sheets, VLOOKUP included).\nWilling to jump into any corner of the business.\nAble to provide references.\nHow hiring works\nA short soft interview. Then a long-form live technical interview, because we will not waste your time or ours on a mishire.\nWe set your KPIs and targets together, up front.\nWe run on EOS and Traction (Scaling Up and OKRs adjacent), and we will walk you through the long-term vision.\nAverage time-to-hire: about 8 to 10 days.\nSomewhere, a bride is counting on this floor running right. Soon, so are we. Come run it.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3150,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T04:26:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.352,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":88,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/solawoodflowers-factory-operations-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/solawoodflowers-factory-operations-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T03:28:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5126,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3174113},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3174113"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsolawoodflowers-factory-operations-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsolawoodflowers-factory-operations-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsolawoodflowers-factory-operations-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/solawoodflowers-factory-operations-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsolawoodflowers-factory-operations-manager"}]}
