Chief Operating Officer (COO)

Chief Operating Officer (COO)

Company: BoxHouse
Location: St. George, UT
Employment Type: Full-Time

About BoxHouse

BoxHouse designs and deploys foldable housing units built for fast manufacturing, rapid transport, and on-site setup. Our focus is scalable production and real-world deployment in housing and disaster response.

We are entering a growth phase and building the operational foundation needed to manufacture and deliver units at scale.

Role Overview

The COO will own end-to-end operations across manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and deployment.

This role is for a proven operator who has already scaled production in a physical manufacturing environment. You will be responsible for building the systems, teams, and supplier network required to move from low-volume production to repeatable, high-volume output.

This is not a strategy-only role. It requires direct ownership of execution and operational performance.

Responsibilities

Lead all operations: manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and deployment

Translate company goals into executable production plans and measurable KPIs

Build and execute a U.S.-based manufacturing strategy (in-house, contract manufacturing, or hybrid model)

Establish and manage supplier and fabrication partner network

Improve production throughput, cost efficiency, and quality control

Build scalable workflows from fabrication through final deployment

Partner with engineering to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability at scale

Oversee logistics, transportation, and on-site deployment operations

Hire and lead the operations team across manufacturing and supply chain

Qualifications

12+ years in operations, manufacturing, industrial production, or supply chain

At least 5 years in senior leadership (COO, VP Operations, Head of Manufacturing, or equivalent)

Must have directly scaled physical production volume (not software, services, or purely corporate operations)

Proven experience building or running manufacturing systems, production lines, or contract manufacturing networks

Experience managing suppliers, vendors, or fabrication partners at scale

Preferred background: manufactured housing, modular construction, prefab systems, RV manufacturing, steel fabrication, or industrial product manufacturing

Experience moving a product from early-stage production to high-volume output

Key Attributes

Strong ownership mindset with full operational accountability

Proven ability to execute in fast-changing, early-stage environments

Strong bias toward solving production constraints and bottlenecks

Comfortable building structure where none exists

Clear communicator who can align engineering, suppliers, and field operations

Compensation

Competitive base salary and performance-based bonus.

Why BoxHouse

This is a hands-on leadership role building the operational backbone of a manufacturing company producing deployable housing at scale.

Note

Candidates without direct manufacturing scale-up experience should not apply.
