Director of Operations
Scanned Inc.
Scanned Inc. is a design-driven consumer electronics design and software company. Our flagship product line, Doxie, has offered award-winning document scanners for going paperless since 2008; Barcode Producer is the industry-leading design suite for creating barcodes for packages and products.
We're hiring a Director of Operations to join our leadership team to implement our multi-year growth strategy, focusing on product portfolio management, day-to-day team operations, and staff development. You'll organize and oversee our company's daily operations and — by managing its processes and coaching its people — ensure that the company is well-coordinated and productive.
Your organizational, communication, and leadership skills are second to none, and you enjoy developing solutions that push innovative boundaries. You'll work closely with executives to strategize and develop long-term plans that usher in new levels of productivity and success at Scanned Inc.
We're a small, operationally complex company, so you'll need to be extremely hands-on and versatile — you'll figure out where you're best needed, sweat all the details, and roll up your sleeves to implement solutions forward. The area of responsibility for this role is very wide and requires thorough knowledge of various company processes. You must be competent and able to plan many different kinds of operational activities. Your goal is to safeguard and improve the efficiency of the company's operations to facilitate accelerating development and long-term success.
This job is offered as a remote position. All positions at Scanned Inc. are remote-friendly. Remote work isn't new to us — we've done it for quite a while, and we're very good at it — and we're organizationally 'remote-first.' Occasional business travel may be required in future years. There will not be any company travel during a global pandemic.Job Responsibilities
