Job description
Emerald Textiles, a PureStar company, is seeking a Vice President of Operations to lead operational performance across our Central/Northern California and Reno, NV region — a network of 4 large laundry facilities and 2 depots. You'll report directly to the CEO of Emerald Textiles, serving as an operational right hand with real influence over strategy, not just execution of someone else's plan.
Healthcare laundry is a trust business — hospitals and care facilities depend on us getting it right, every shift, every delivery. This role is as much about being the face of that reliability to our customers as it is about running the plants behind it. If you're an operator who gets energized by fixing what's broken, scaling what works, building teams that outperform, and earning customer confidence through consistent execution — this is built for you.

A true partnership with plant General Managers, HR, Safety, Engineering, and Sales — you set the standard, they execute it

Building and coaching a team that raises the bar — goal-setting, performance reviews, and real accountability
Turning operational data into decisions that move the needle on profitability and service quality
Building durable client and vendor relationships that reinforce Emerald's reputation for dependability
