Backed by experienced leadership and significant long-term investment, Life Space Digital is expanding rapidly across major U.S. cities. We are building a team of operators, technologists, and creators committed to precision, performance, and operational excellence as we lead the next chapter of premium digital out-of-home media.
The Operations Manager will lead operational planning and execution at Life Space Digital, scaling the business efficiently, reliably, and with discipline. This role is responsible for building a high-performing team that delivers exceptional outcomes with rigorous cost control. You will design and implement the systems and processes that power our nationwide screen deployment and maintenance network - driving vendor negotiations that reset cost and performance benchmarks, while maintaining hands-on quality oversight.
Responsibilities span hardware logistics, installation and service operations, warehousing and 3PL coordination, field performance, and vendor management. The Operations Manager owns the department's annual budget, sets performance targets, controls costs, and ensures operational execution supports both company growth and margin goals. The role demands sharp commercial judgment and the ability to negotiate, challenge, and optimize vendor pricing and scopes across all markets - achieving breakthrough lows in cost-per-installation and service delivery.
From day one, you will take ownership of an early-stage operations function already in motion - strengthening installation workflows, market-level oversight, vendor alignment, quality controls, and the foundational processes of our operating model. This is a builder role with direct accountability: accelerating installation velocity, improving reliability, and driving measurable cost and quality improvements in real time.
This role partners closely with executive leadership and cross-functional teams - Business Development, Content, and Product - to translate strategic priorities into mature operating systems, service models, and long-term organizational capability. The ideal candidate executes quickly, thinks clearly, adapts readily, and grows from tactical operator into strategic architect as the company scales.
