JOB OVERVIEW:
We are seeking a General Manager, Site Operations, reporting to the Associate Vice President, Solutions, to serve as the central coordination and accountability point for the Charlotte Branding & Signage operation.
This role is responsible for driving the daily operating rhythm of the site, maintaining visibility across active work, coordinating cross-functional priorities, and ensuring projects move through project management, design, prepress, print production, warehouse/ shipping, and delivery with clarity, discipline, and urgency.
Acting as the connective layer between Charlotte operations and functional leadership, this role supports alignment, issue resolution, schedule management, and execution accountability across all active work. The General Manager will ensure priorities are clear, risks are surfaced early, blockers are removed, and deliverables remain on track in support of client commitments and overall site performance.
This role requires a leader who can operate effectively in a matrixed environment, influence across functions, create structure in a fast-moving operation, and drive accountability while maintaining strong team collaboration and client focus.

- Creating site-level reporting and communication rhythms that improve transparency across Charlotte and broader LIVE·TEAM leadership
- Removing blockers, resolving competing priorities, and ensuring teams stay aligned to client commitments
- Identifying process gaps and driving continuous improvement across scheduling, handoffs, workflows, and reporting

Site Reporting & Visibility
- Maintain site-level reporting tools that provide visibility across active work, capacity, risks, and delivery performance
- Track and report project status, including on track, at risk, delayed, or requiring leadership decision

Cross-Functional Coordination
- Serve as the primary integrator across Charlotte project management, design, prepress, print production, warehouse/shipping, and delivery teams
- Coordinate priorities between local project needs, centralized production resources, and functional leaders
- Ensure adherence to company processes, workflows, quality standards, and operating expectations
Issue Resolution & Escalation Management
- Act as the central escalation point for site-level delivery issues and operational blockers
- Remove blockers by coordinating ownership, next steps, and follow-up across teams
- Facilitate rapid decision-making when priorities conflict or timelines are at risk

Client Delivery Support
- Partner with Project Management to ensure client commitments, timelines, and expectations are understood and supported internally
- Step in on high-risk, high-visibility, or operationally complex projects as needed
- Ensure internal alignment supports external commitments and client delivery expectations
- Support project teams in identifying delivery risks, resource needs, and schedule impacts before they become client-facing issues
- Help maintain a high standard of service, responsiveness, and execution quality across Charlotte-driven work
Continuous Improvement
- Identify inefficiencies in scheduling, handoffs, planning, communication, reporting, and workflow management
- Drive process improvements across project management, design, production, prepress, warehouse/shipping, and delivery
- Help build a more scalable, disciplined, and repeatable operating model for the Charlotte site
