• Have you worked alongside a founder before — and do you understand what it means to be the operator who makes the vision real?

• Are you energized by building scalable systems, leading high-performing teams, and driving profitable growth?

If so, you may be the operational leader Berg Compliance Solutions has been looking for.

Important: If this role speaks to you, please read carefully. Serious candidates must follow the application instructions at the bottom of this posting. Applications submitted any other way will not be considered.

────────────────────────────────────

ABOUT BERG COMPLIANCE SOLUTIONS

Berg Compliance Solutions (BCS) is an Austin-based environmental, health and safety (EHS) consulting firm that has served Texas manufacturers and general contractors for over 13 years. We don't just advise — we become our clients' EHS department, delivering on a critical goal: protecting their employees, the environment and businesses.

Our core belief: EHS compliance isn't just a regulatory burden — it's a competitive advantage. Through our proprietary processes and technology platform, we help manufacturers and contractors win more contracts, attract top talent, and build operational resilience. We back it with a bold guarantee: full OSHA, TCEQ, and EPA compliance within 12 months, with financial protection.

Our clients don't just hire us. They partner with us, often for years. That's by design.

We have aggressive plans to multiply the size of this business over the next five to seven years — driven by geographic expansion, new service lines, and our Apprentice EHS Training Program. We have the vision and the proven model. Now we need the operational leader to scale it.

────────────────────────────────────

THE MISSION

You are the bridge between Vision and Execution.

Our Founder has spent over a decade building the intellectual property, systems, processes, client relationships, and culture that define BCS. The operational infrastructure is largely in place — it now needs to be refined, finalized, and scaled.

As Director of Operations, you will be a key leader in running the operational engine of this company — the people, the processes, the projects, and the P&L — working in close partnership with the Founder. You are the person who turns the Founder's growth initiatives into operational reality, on time and on budget.

────────────────────────────────────

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Operational Architecture

→ Refine and finalize BCS's existing proprietary processes into fully scalable SOPs, playbooks, and training systems. The foundation is built; your job is to sharpen it.

→ Lead and manage the operational infrastructure required to support aggressive, sustained growth — systems, workflows, technology, and quality controls, in partnership with the Founder.

People Leadership

→ Directly supervise the consulting team, including Senior Managing Consultants and a growing cohort of staff and apprentice-level consultants.

→ Lead hiring, onboarding, performance management, professional development, and accountability in conjunction with the Founder.

→ Champion BCS culture: Fun Vigilance, Fanatic Discipline, Accountability, and Over & Above Effort.

→ Manage and track utilization targets (85% billable), client satisfaction scores (90%+), and delivery of our 12-month compliance guarantee to every client.

Growth Execution

→ Partner with the Founder to translate strategic vision into quarterly and annual operating plans with clear milestones and measurable outcomes.

→ Drive implementation of the roadmap for market expansion, new service line launches, and technology investments, in close collaboration with the Founder.

Financial Stewardship

→ Manage the P&L with a focus on improving margins, controlling costs, and driving profitable growth.

→ Monitor project margins, billable utilization, and contract renewals. Find the leaks and plug them.

Operational Filter for the Founder

→ Serve as the first line of decision-making on day-to-day operational issues, team management, and problem-solving — so the Founder stays focused on high-leverage activities.

────────────────────────────────────

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required:

• 7+ years of operations or general management experience in professional services, consulting, or a regulated industry

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited university (business, operations, or related field preferred). Graduate degree is even better.

• Proven experience managing teams and contributing to P&L performance

• Strong track record of building and scaling operational systems in a growing organization

• High integrity, sound judgment, and strong communication skills

Preferred:

• Experience in professional services or consulting firms

• Experience scaling a small team through significant growth

────────────────────────────────────

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Performance Bonus: $20,000 – $30,000, tied to net profit growth, operational milestones, and team performance

• Long-Term Incentive: Potential phantom equity or profit sharing as the company hits defined scale targets

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with employer match

• High-autonomy work environment with direct access to company leadership

────────────────────────────────────

OUR CULTURE: FUN VIGILANCE

We do serious work — people's lives and safety depend on it. But that doesn't mean we don't enjoy the work and the people we do it with. Our culture is built on accountability, fanatic discipline, continuous improvement, and a genuine service-minded attitude.

We follow our processes without exception, respond to clients within two hours, and always go above and beyond. No silos, no drama, no excuses. Just a team committed to protecting people and building great companies.

Supply Chain Specialist

JP Ecommerce Inc. (dba Bare Home) | Forest Lake/Columbus, MN

About Bare Home

We've been named one of Inc. 5000's top-ten fastest-growing Minnesota businesses for FOUR consecutive years. We're a $100M+ textile retailer experiencing 20-30% year-over-year growth, sourcing premium bedding globally from China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey while manufacturing our cotton line right here in the USA.

We sell across Amazon, Walmart, Target, our DTC channels, and international markets—and we're expanding operations from 110,000 to 220,000+ square feet. We're making significant investments in our supply chain and logistics team right now, growing from five to six team members.

This isn't corporate bureaucracy. We're 87 people who work exceptionally well together, tackle challenges as a team, and see the direct impact of our work every day.

The Role

We're looking for a Supply Chain Specialist to join our collaborative five-person (expanding to six) supply chain and logistics team. You'll work alongside experienced supply chain professionals, sharing responsibilities and learning the full scope of international e-commerce operations.

This is a team-based role—you won't be doing this alone. We cross-train, support each other when someone's out, and tackle projects collaboratively. Some days you'll focus on your core responsibilities, other days you'll jump in on sourcing projects or warehouse tracking initiatives. That's the nature of working in a small, agile company where flexibility and teamwork matter.

What You'll Work On (As Part of the Team)

Supply Chain Operations

• Support tracking of inbound containers from overseas vendors (China, India, Pakistan, Turkey)
• Assist with container optimization and shipment coordination
• Work with the team on buy decisions and inventory planning
• Help coordinate with overseas vendors on timing and logistics
• Contribute to forecasting and inventory level management across all channels

Data & Analytics

• Build and maintain Excel-based tracking systems for orders, containers, and SKUs
• Create reports and dashboards for inventory movement and supply chain performance
• Analyze data across multiple systems to identify trends and discrepancies
• Support the team with data analysis using VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, pivot tables, and complex formulas

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with warehouse operations on container flow and receiving schedules
• Partner with Buyers, Supply Analyst, and operations teams daily
• Coordinate with 3PL partners on logistics and inventory placement
• Jump in on ad-hoc projects—sourcing initiatives, system improvements, warehouse tracking

Learning & Growth

• Gain exposure to international sourcing, container logistics, and multi-channel fulfillment
• Learn from experienced supply chain professionals on the team
• Develop skills in forecasting, demand planning, and supply chain optimization
• Cross-train across different aspects of supply chain operations

What You Need

Education

• Bachelor's degree preferred in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Operations Management, Business Administration, International Business, Industrial Engineering, or related field
• Associate's degree with 3+ years of relevant supply chain experience will be considered
• Relevant certifications (APICS, Six Sigma, etc.) are a plus

Must-Haves

• Strong Excel skills: VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, pivot tables, complex formulas—you're comfortable working with large datasets
• 1-3 years of supply chain, logistics, or operations experience (or relevant internships)
• Analytical thinking: You can spot patterns, identify problems, and think through solutions
• Team player mentality: You collaborate well, communicate clearly, and support your teammates
• Adaptability: You're comfortable jumping between tasks and learning new things
• Positive attitude: Problems don't overwhelm you—you approach challenges with a can-do mindset

Highly Valued

• Experience with international logistics or container shipping
• Familiarity with Amazon FBA, Walmart, or Target fulfillment operations
• Background in e-commerce, retail, or consumer products
• Experience with ERP/WMS systems (SellerCloud, NetSuite, or similar)
• Prior exposure to sourcing or vendor management

What Makes This Opportunity Different

You're joining a strong team of five professionals who work collaboratively and support each other. You won't be thrown into the deep end alone—you'll have experienced teammates to learn from and a culture that values training and development.

We're at an inflection point with major expansion plans, Foreign Trade Zone certification in progress, and significant supply chain investments happening now. You'll gain broad exposure to international supply chain operations in a fast-growth environment where your contributions are visible and valued.

This is the kind of place where warehouse associates from five years ago now run departments. If you want to build a supply chain career with real growth potential, this is that opportunity.

The Team Culture

We work hard, move fast, and genuinely enjoy working together. Cross-functional collaboration isn't a buzzword here—it's how we operate daily. We face new challenges constantly and tackle them as a team. If you bring solutions, communicate directly, and care about the people around you, you'll fit right in.

Small company means no corporate silos, no endless approval chains, and direct access to leadership. Your ideas matter. Your voice is heard. Your work makes a difference.

Compensation & Benefits

• Hourly Rate: $26-32/hour based on experience and skills
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid Family and Medical Leave
• Paid by the company Benefit at no cost to you: Short Term Disability, Life Insurance ($25K) with options to purchase more
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
