VP OF OPERATIONS

Diesel Pro Power  |  Miami, FL  |  Full-Time  |  In-Office Only

$140,000 Base + Performance Bonus  |  Realistic OTE: $180K–$220K+

THE OPPORTUNITY

Diesel Pro Power is a Miami-based global e-commerce company shipping diesel engine parts to 180+ countries. We are hiring a VP of Operations to drive disciplined, systems-driven execution across every department — and to ensure the business scales with profitability, operational predictability, and minimal founder dependency.

This is not a policy-and-procedure corporate role. It is a hands-on operational leadership position inside a high-accountability, high-ownership company. You will work directly with the CEO to translate vision into consistent execution through systems, cadence, and follow-through.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

  • Operational cadence and weekly execution rhythm
  • Departmental accountability and KPI visibility
  • Cross-functional execution and SOP enforcement
  • CRM compliance and workflow discipline
  • Root-cause problem solving and recurring issue elimination
  • Workflow automation and AI-enabled systems improvement

Departments in scope: customer service, purchasing, accounting coordination, warehouse, shipping & receiving, shop operations, and marketing coordination.

WEEKLY RESPONSIBILITIES

You will lead:

  • Leadership scorecard and accountability reviews
  • Issue-solving cadence (IDS / root-cause discipline)
  • KPI reviews and follow-up ownership tracking
  • Operational priority alignment across departments

You will ensure:

  • Deadlines are met and issues are resolved without CEO intervention
  • Accountability is visible and workflows are documented
  • Recurring problems are eliminated at the root — not managed repeatedly
  • Operational surprises become rare

AI-LEVERAGED OPERATIONS

We are building an AI-leveraged operating company. We are not looking for someone who simply uses AI tools. We want an operator who instinctively searches for leverage, automation, and scalability through systems and AI-enabled workflows — someone who consistently asks:

  • How do we reduce operational friction here?
  • What can be automated?
  • How do we improve visibility and reduce manual dependency?
  • How do we make execution more reliable through systems — not heroics?

YOU WILL THRIVE HERE IF YOU ARE

  • Deeply curious and systems-minded
  • Highly organized and operationally intense
  • Proactive and execution-oriented by nature
  • Calm under pressure and effective at enforcing accountability
  • Driven toward root-cause thinking — not symptomatic fixes
  • Comfortable operating without layers of support

THIS ROLE IS NOT THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU

  • Wait to be told what to do
  • Avoid accountability conversations
  • Prefer corporate process over hands-on execution
  • Repeatedly solve the same problems without fixing root causes
  • Are more interested in strategy than in making things actually work

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

  • Bachelor's degree
  • Proven operational leadership experience inside a scaling business
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • High ownership mentality and strong systems orientation

Strongly Preferred

  • EOS / Traction Integrator experience
  • KPI and scorecard management
  • SOP implementation and documentation
  • Experience building AI operational workflows (not just using AI tools)
  • Background in distribution, logistics, or process-heavy operations

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base Salary: $140,000

Performance Bonus: Tied to measurable operational outcomes

Realistic OTE: $180,000–$220,000+

Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, STD, and additional coverage

Location: Miami, FL 33128 — In-office only
