Job description
**Director of Operations — Lombard, IL
TORQ Coatings | Right Hand to Founder
Full-Time | On-Site Travel
This is a right-hand role to the founder — high expectations, high growth, high reward.
Build the Engine. Scale the Business. Execute the Vision.
TORQ Coatings is a fast-growing concrete floor coatings company expanding aggressively across the Midwest.
We are looking for a Director of Operations to work directly with the Founder and help build, optimize, and scale operations across multiple markets.
This is not a typical operations role.
This is a strategic, high-impact leadership position.
If you’re looking for comfort, this isn’t it.
If you’re ready to grow fast, be pushed, and build something meaningful — keep reading.
The Opportunity
You will work side-by-side with a visionary founder, helping turn ideas into execution.
You will have visibility across the entire business and play a key role in scaling the company.
Key Responsibilities
Work directly with the Founder to execute strategic initiatives
Build and scale operations across multiple markets
Oversee and improve production, systems, and workflows
Drive operational efficiency, accountability, and performance
Build and implement SOPs, KPIs, and scalable systems
Support hiring, training, and development of key team members
Analyze performance metrics and drive data-backed decisions
Align departments and ensure smooth execution across teams
Step into leadership gaps and solve problems quickly
What We’re Looking For
5 years in operations, leadership, or business management
Proven ability to build systems and scale operations
Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
Strong leadership and decision-making ability
Highly organized and execution-focused
Comfortable with numbers, data, and performance tracking
Strong communication and ability to work closely with leadership
Ability to handle pressure, move fast, and execute
Growth-minded, coachable, and ready to be pushed
Compensation & Benefits
Base Salary: $90,000 — $100,000
On-Target Earnings (OTE): $130,000 — $150,000
Performance-based bonuses tied to company and operational growth
Full benefits package
Paid time off company holidays
401(k) / retirement options
High-impact leadership role with direct access to ownership
Why This Role Stands Out
Direct access to the Founder and leadership team
Real influence on company direction and growth
Opportunity to build and scale a multi-market operation
Clear path to executive leadership
Environment that will challenge and develop you quickly
Bottom Line
This is for someone who wants more than a job.
This is for someone who wants to build, lead, and grow into a top operator.**
