Founded in Miami’s Wynwood district in 2004, we’ve grown into a team of over 140 across Miami, New York, and Chicago — and we’re just getting started. Now entering our most ambitious chapter yet, we’re doubling down on people who care deeply about quality, design, and the art of the unforgettable.

We care deeply about our people, our partners, and our craft, and we elevate every experience by going beyond expectations at every touchpoint. We own the outcome, leading with integrity and holding ourselves accountable for the results we deliver — our products may be rented, but the results we deliver are ours. We win as one, building trusted partnerships and shared success through open collaboration, and we grow forward by staying curious, creative, and always learning. We’re looking for exceptional people who are energized by growth, inspired by craft, and ready to help shape a company at an inflection point. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Standard Operating Procedures Assess existing SOPs and practices across both markets, then consolidate them into a single, version-controlled library. Write SOPs in a visual, bilingual (English/Spanish) format that teams can use on the floor. Standardize processes across markets and keep SOPs current as processes and systems change.

Training Build onboarding and certification programs for each operational function. Deliver training on the floor and in the classroom. Develop certified trainers in each market, and manage cross-training and the seasonal training calendar. Performance Define measurable standards for accuracy, throughput, on-time performance, quality, and safety.

Run a recurring audit and observation program, reporting results by market, shift, and function. Identify root causes of operational errors and drive corrective action. Multi-Market Operations Implement standards and training at new facilities. Develop a repeatable playbook across similar operations. W H O Y O U A R E Qualifications & Experience R e q u i r e d 8+ years in warehouse, distribution, logistics, or production operations, including hands-on time on the floor.

Demonstrated experience writing SOPs and building training programs that hourly teams actually used, not documents that were filed. Experience in a multi-site operation, with a track record of making two locations run the same way.
