Operations Manager Jobs in Hawaii: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a operations manager in Hawaii?
Most operations manager roles in Hawaii require a bachelor's degree in business administration, supply chain management, or a closely related field, though some employers in hospitality and logistics accept equivalent work experience. Hawaii does not issue a state-specific license for operations managers, but candidates in healthcare settings may need familiarity with Hawaii Department of Health compliance standards. Building experience through coordinator or supervisor roles at Hawaii's major resort groups, hospital systems, or distribution centers is the most direct path to advancement.
How much do operations managers make in Hawaii?
Operations managers in Hawaii earn a median of about $108,180 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $53,230 for the lowest 10% to over $217,160 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire operations managers in Hawaii?
Employers hiring operations managers in Hawaii right now include CVS Health, GGP, and KBR, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hawaii's hiring is especially active among hotel and resort management companies, regional hospital networks, and logistics firms supporting inter-island freight operations.
Which Hawaii cities have the most operations manager jobs?
Honolulu, Lahaina, and ‘Aiea have the most operations manager openings in Hawaii. Honolulu drives the majority of listings as the state's commercial and government hub, while Hilo and Kailua-Kona reflect growing demand from healthcare systems and tourism-related businesses expanding their Big Island footprints.
Are there remote operations manager jobs in Hawaii?
Yes, but they're rare. Operations manager roles are largely hands-on and site-dependent, making full remote work uncommon in most Hawaii industries. About 20% of operations manager openings tied to Hawaii are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which skews toward corporate or regional oversight roles rather than facility-level positions. Supply chain analysis and vendor coordination functions are the most likely to carry a hybrid arrangement.
How can I get hired as a operations manager in Hawaii with little or no experience?
The most realistic starting point is a coordinator or shift supervisor role within Hawaii's hospitality or healthcare sectors, where internal promotion pathways to operations management are well established. Large employers such as Hilton Grand Vacations and The Queen's Health Systems regularly hire operations coordinators and department supervisors who can move into management after demonstrating performance. Earning a Certified Operations Manager credential or completing a Project Management Professional certification strengthens a Hawaii candidacy meaningfully. Targeting roles in front desk management, facilities coordination, or logistics support at island-based employers builds the local network that Hawaii hiring managers value.
Where can I find and apply to operations manager jobs in Hawaii?
