Director of Inventory and Production Operations

Miami Christmas Lights (MCL) is seeking a highly operational, systems-driven leader to take full ownership of the company’s inventory systems, warehouse operations, logistics coordination, refurbishment processes, and light production activities. This is not a traditional warehouse management role. The Director of Inventory Systems & Production Operations is responsible for creating operational certainty across the company. This role owns the physical operational truth of MCL — ensuring leadership, sales, customer success, and field operations always know exactly what inventory exists, where it is located, what condition it is in, what is available for sale, and what is allocated to future projects. The successful candidate will build scalable systems, eliminate operational chaos, and create a warehouse and production operation capable of supporting aggressive company growth without requiring executive oversight in day-to-day inventory operations. This role requires someone who has previously built or reorganized warehouse, inventory, logistics, or production systems from the ground up and can independently create structure, accountability, and operational discipline. In addition to inventory and logistics ownership, this role will oversee refurbishment and small-scale domestic production operations, building and managing a small team responsible for assembly, refurbishment, staging, packaging, and production support.
