Location: Tulsa, OK - in-person leadership required; field presence required
Result Statement
I am accountable for producing the following result: I drive the consistent execution of the company's
strategic objectives by building operational discipline, strengthening systems, and leading leaders
across field and office. In close partnership with the Owner/CEO/Visionary, I translate agreed priorities
into measurable plans, create accountability, and ensure the "We Care More" customer experience and
Proven Process are delivered consistently.
Owner-VP Relationship
This is a close collaboration role with the Owner/CEO/Visionary. The VP of Operations is responsible for
operational execution and leadership cadence, while the Owner/CEO remains actively involved in
direction, key relationships, and major decisions. The VP of Operations serves as the Owner/CEO's primary
operating partner and Integrator as defined by the EOS business framework. This person helps the
Owner prioritize initiatives, pressure-test plans, and translate decisions into execution. The VP of Operations
creates clarity and traction across the leadership team while maintaining a high-trust, high
communication relationship with the Owner.
The VP of Operations owns:
• Day-to-day operating rhythm and execution
• Leadership team accountability, scorecards, Rocks, and follow-through
• Cross-department coordination and removing operational obstacles
• Quality, safety, training systems, and operational consistency
• Operational coordination between Nutri-Green and Hook & Ladder Holiday Decor, including
seasonal staffing handoff and offseason workforce planning
The Owner/CEO owns:
• Vision, brand, culture tone, and strategic direction
• Major growth plays and service expansion direction (what and why)
• Marketing and sales direction
• Final approval on major investments, senior hires/exits, and strategic shifts
Note on evolution: As the company scales past $5M in revenue, sales execution and CSR conversion
accountability are expected to transition to the VP of Operations. Marketing direction and brand voice remain with
the Owner.
Critical Result Areas
1) People, Leadership Bench, and Training
The VP of Operations builds and maintains a leadership team and field workforce capable of operating Nutri-Green
at current scale and ready for the next stage of growth. This includes recruiting, onboarding, training,
evaluating, developing, and when necessary removing personnel. Success means leaders perform to
scorecard, the bench is deep enough to absorb growth and turnover, and training is consistent,
documented, and audited.
Success measured by: leader scorecard performance, employee retention rate, 30/60/90 onboarding
success rate, training completion and pass rates, internal promotion rate, time-to-fill on open roles, and
PIP execution rate.
2) Customer Retention and Experience
The VP of Operations is accountable for keeping the customers Nutri-Green has already earned. In a recurring
revenue business, retention is the single largest profit lever after gross margin. This CRA owns cancel
prevention, complaint resolution, save rate, and the "Make It Right" system end to end.
Success measured by: annual cancel rate, save rate on cancel calls, NPS or customer satisfaction
score, complaint resolution time, repeat complaint rate, and reactivation rate on lapsed customers.
3) Operational Execution, Quality, and Safety
The VP of Operations ensures that every service delivered in the field and every interaction handled in the office
meets the Nutri-Green standard. This CRA covers routing, production, quality assurance, fleet and
equipment readiness, and the safety program. Field and office both roll up here.
Success measured by: route completion percentage, on-time service percentage, QA pass rate
(DUPRO and QAI), redo and callback rate, safety incident rate, vehicle downtime, and inventory
accuracy.
4) Profitability and Financial Discipline
The VP of Operations is accountable for operating Nutri-Green at the margins required to fund growth, fund
reinvestment, and protect the owner's risk capital. This is not just budget adherence. It is active
management of the levers that drive profit: labor productivity, routing efficiency, rework cost, and
material usage.
Success measured by: gross margin, contribution margin by service line, labor as a percentage of
revenue, routing efficiency, rework cost as a percentage of revenue, and budget variance.
5) Scaling Capacity and Cross-Business Coordination
The VP of Operations builds operational capacity ahead of growth, not behind it. Staffing, training, systems, and
equipment are ready before demand arrives, not after. This CRA also explicitly covers the seasonal
integration with Hook & Ladder Holiday Decor, ensuring the offseason employment bridge functions
without disruption and scales as Nutri-Green grows.
Success measured by: operational capacity versus three-year revenue plan, Hook & Ladder
offseason staffing absorption rate, spring layoff incidents (target zero), new service rollout readiness on
schedule, and SOP coverage of revenue-producing activities.
