How We Hire: The Head, Heart, and Briefcase

We believe great performance comes from alignment across three areas:

🧠 Head – your natural drives and ability to think strategically and solve problems.
❤️ Heart – your values, leadership style, and passion for making an impact.
💼 Briefcase – your experience, results, and the tools you've developed along the way.

You'll start with a short Predictive Index (PI) assessment (<20 minutes), followed by structured and culture-focused interviews designed to ensure a great mutual fit.

Your Purpose

As the Operations Supervisor for Servers, Networking, and Enterprise Hardware, you'll lead a skilled and technical production team focused on processing high-value equipment from retired data center and enterprise environments.

Your team plays a key role in giving servers, switches, and other hardware their next best life, whether through testing for resale, harvesting components, or preparing materials for responsible recycling. You'll lead by setting clear expectations, asking sharp questions, and ensuring the team works safely, efficiently, and with pride in their impact.

What You'll Do

• Lead and coach a high-performing operations team focused on servers, networking, and enterprise hardware.
• Oversee daily operations and drive results across safety, quality, and productivity metrics
• Support problem-solving, cross-department coordination, and clear execution standards
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, shared accountability, and technical excellence
• Empower team members by removing barriers and helping them grow in skill, confidence, and ownership

What You Bring (Briefcase)

Associate's or Bachelor's degree in a related field is a plus, but relevant experience matters more

• 5+ years of experience in operations, production, or technical leadership roles
• At least 2 years of experience supervising or coaching a team in a fast-paced environment
• Comfortable working around servers, switches, and enterprise IT hardware, even if you're not an expert in every spec or model
• Preferred: Experience in ITAD, electronics recycling, production, or hardware processing environments

Skills & Strengths (Head)

• Strong technical curiosity. You don't need to know every system, but you know how to ask the right questions and spot when something's off
• Clear communicator who can lead a technical team, translate priorities, and align people around shared goals
• Organized and calm under pressure, able to juggle projects, shift priorities, and keep execution moving
• Confident balancing efficiency, quality, and resale value when making daily decisions
• Comfortable navigating conversations across departments and engaging with both frontline team members and cross-functional partners

Who You Are (Heart)

You're a confident, curious, and people-centered leader. You don't need to be the most technical person in the room—you know how to bring the right experts together and guide them toward shared outcomes.
You lead through questions, not assumptions. You value collaboration, accountability, and learning. You inspire trust, bring calm to complexity, and care deeply about helping your team succeed.
