The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Sears is hiring a Business Operations Manager in Auburn, AL.

• Role description

  Every trust-based Business Operations Manager we've hired at Sears had two things: a grip on Facilitation and zero patience for general theater. At $86,000 - $141,000, this Business Operations Manager seat rewards 8+ years in general with autonomy, mentorship, and a long runway for growth.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Keep showing up for the Auburn, AL work after the launch buzz fades
  • Provide hands-on support to colleagues and Sears clients as needed
  • Chase down the root cause instead of slapping on a patch
  • Defend the Accountability fundamentals when speed tempts everyone to skip them
  • Make general tradeoffs visible so Sears can weigh them

  What You'll Bring

  • Judgment seasoned by at least 7 years of real consequences
  • The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, detail-focused environment
  • The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard

  Sears treats Auburn, AL as both home and laboratory, prototyping safety-first general ideas no larger rival would risk. Our Auburn office runs on mutual respect, low ego, and a genuine willingness to help.

  Our offer wraps $86,000 - $141,000 around mentorship, real benefits, and the kind of Auburn, AL flexibility most general roles only promise.

  We bumped this posting hours ago because the role is still very much open.

  We open the Business Operations Manager role today and close it once we meet the right person, so hurry.
