Requirements
  • 5+ years of operations experience, including 2+ years leading teams — ideally in ITAD, electronics recycling, reverse logistics, or warehouse/production environments
  • A proven track record of building and developing operations teams: hiring, training, and performance management
  • Hands-on process improvement experience (lean, Six Sigma, or similar) with measurable results to show for it
  • Comfort with operational data — building KPIs, reading dashboards, and using metrics to drive decisions
  • Experience supporting or managing multi-site operations is a strong plus
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 50%, including overnight and multi-day trips
  • Based in—or willing to relocate to—Fresno, CA or New York, NY
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, equally effective with frontline teams and executive leadership
Responsibilities
  • Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing operations organization that delivers consistent execution every day.
  • Hire, onboard, and grow frontline leaders and team members as Revivn continues to scale.
  • Set clear expectations, provide frequent coaching and feedback, and create opportunities for people to grow.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, safety, ownership, and continuous improvement.
  • Own day-to-day execution across receiving, processing, data destruction, testing, and outbound logistics.
  • Partner with the Sr Director of ITAD Operations to set throughput, quality, and SLA targets — and hold the team accountable for hitting them.
  • Manage staffing plans, schedules, and capacity to meet variable inbound volume without sacrificing quality.
  • Ensure every operation remains audit-ready and compliant with Revivn's security standards, certifications, and safety requirements.
  • Standardize processes across sites so every operation runs from the same playbook.
  • Identify bottlenecks, dig into root causes, and drive measurable improvements in throughput, quality, and cost.
  • Build and track operational KPIs, using data to prioritize what gets fixed first.
  • Pilot improvements at one site, prove the results, and scale what works across the operation.
  • Travel regularly to Revivn facilities and partner sites to support launches, operational initiatives, and continuous improvement efforts.
  • Serve as a boots-on-the-ground leadership presence, building trusted relationships with local teams.
  • Lead site launches, ramp-ups, and special projects from planning through stabilization.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience supporting or managing multi-site operations is a strong plus
  • You lead from the floor — you’d rather walk the operation and talk to the team than manage from a spreadsheet alone.
  • You take full ownership — when something is your responsibility, it gets done thoroughly and on time.
  • You’re a builder at heart, energized by developing people and turning good teams into great ones.
  • You’re process-minded — you see the system behind the symptom and fix causes, not just effects.
  • You stay calm and decisive when volume spikes, plans change, or things break.
  • You’re data-driven but practical — metrics guide you, and you know when to get hands-on.
  • You thrive on the road, and being on-site with different teams energizes rather than drains you.

ERI files suit alleging theft of trade secrets

ERI files suit alleging theft of trade secrets. Published March 12, 2026 | Updated March 13, 2026 ERI., headquartered in Fresno, California, has filed a lawsuit in the New York Supreme Court against Revivn Public Benefit Corp., headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, alleging that the defendant has stolen confidential and proprietary information from ERI in an attempt to undercut and undermine the company with its own customers and suppliers. In the filing, ERI also says Revivn is recruiting high-value ERI employees "who cannot perform their new jobs without inevitably disclosing the confidential information that they know about ERI, its operations and its customers." Revivn, which was founded in 2012 by co-CEOs John Fazzolari and Anthony Serina, according to its website, is a public benefit corporation, or a for-profit enterprise that has a public benefit mission, with 150 employees worldwide in locations that include Boston; Washington; Atlanta; Chicago; Nashville, Tennessee; Austin, Texas; Denver; Salt Lake City; Phoenix; Portland, Oregon; Seattle; San Francisco; Dublin; Paris; London; and Berlin. ERI, which was founded in 2002, says the company is a direct competitor "in the business of recycling and refurbishing electronics hardware in a secure and environmentally responsible way." According to ERI, Revivn is about to open a facility in Fresno "to recruit ERI's employees, most of whom live in or near Fresno," adding that the company "has been raiding ERI's senior ranks by poaching or attempting to poach key employees with the assistance of a former ERI employee named Justin LeDoux." With LeDoux, formerly ERI's senior director of operations, the company says Revivn is targeting "ERI's sensitive financial and corporate information, customer and market information, operational and facility information, technology and proprietary systems, and strategic and business plans" and using it to unfairly compete against the company. ERI's former director of logistics, Ross Sylvester, also has been hired by Revivn, ERI says, adding that the knowledge that he and LeDoux possess about ERI's operations, "if deployed by a direct competitor like Revivn, would allow that competitor to inflict immediate and irreparable harm on ERI." The lawsuit also points to ERI's proprietary automation systems, robotics integration and software platforms that were developed through significant internal investment and lend advantages in speed, safety, throughput, reporting accuracy and fire mitigation for ERI. "Competitors cannot readily duplicate these technologies without access to ERI's confidential technical specifications, performance data, vendor integrations and operational metrics," the company says. "Access to that information dramatically shortens the development cycle and reduces the risk inherent in building such systems from scratch." Among the relief ERI is asking the court to award are damages in an amount to be determined at trial and a permanent injunction preventing Revivn from using ERI's confidential information and/or trade secrets to solicit, market the company to or do business with ERI's existing and prospective customers and suppliers and allowing LeDoux and Sylvester to use ERI's confidential information and/or trade secrets (whether known from documents or memory) while working for Revivn. A spokesman for ERI says the company cannot comment on the case. Revin has not responded to a request for comment. Get curated news on YOUR industry. Enter your email to receive our newsletters.
