Avalara is transforming tax compliance into a seamless, automated digital experience. Within our Micro & Emerging Business unit, we are building a unified self-serve compliance platform for small merchants and lodging operators by bringing DAVO and MyLodgeTax together.
As a Senior Program Manager, you will lead the cross-functional operations of this flagship initiative. You will drive alignment, accountability, and execution across dedicated engineering teams, central platform groups, business development, billing systems, and shared services. Reporting to Evan Wright (VP & GM, SMB Business), this role gives you startup-style agility and scope backed by the data, customers, and infrastructure of an established global SaaS leader.
Lead program delivery. Own the integrated plan, milestones, and critical path for the DAVO and MyLodgeTax consolidation, including the platform rebuild, customer migration, and security and compliance deadlines.
Run the cross-team operating model. Set up operating rhythms, dependency maps, and clear service agreements with engineering, central platform, business development, filing operations, and corporate systems teams.
Drive billing and systems work. Coordinate roadmaps and delivery for card and ACH checkout, self-serve pricing and quoting, HubSpot, ERP integrations, and the APIs underneath them.
Align partner integrations. Coordinate timelines across POS and property-management integrations, marketplace apps, and integration partners so customers can sign up and onboard without talking to sales.
Give executives clear visibility. Build dashboards tracking self-serve conversion, support volume, and acquisition economics, and write decision memos that make trade-offs easy to act on.
Modernize how programs run. Use AI tools for status updates, risk detection, and documentation, and help CPMO turn what works here into playbooks for the rest of Avalara.

Tips for Your Remote Director of Plant Operations Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote director of plant operations openings from across the country in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated postings. Early applications consistently get more attention before a role fills.
Prove your remote operations leadership upfront
Add a short remote work section to your resume that names the tools you use daily, such as ERP platforms, video conferencing, and digital production dashboards, and shows you have driven results without being on-site. Remote hiring managers screen for this before reading anything else.
Lead your application with async communication samples
Remote operations roles require clear written communication across shifts, plants, and time zones. Submit a concise operations memo or executive summary as a work sample with your application. It demonstrates the written clarity remote employers need from day one.
Prepare for remote interviews with data-driven scenarios
Remote director of plant operations interviews focus on how you identify problems, make decisions, and align teams without walking the floor. Practice explaining specific situations where you diagnosed a production issue remotely, coordinated a fix across locations, and measured the outcome.
Remote Director of Plant Operations Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote director of plant operations job?
Target companies running distributed or multi-site operations where plant leadership is centralized rather than co-located with each facility. Remote employers screen hard for self-direction, clear written communication, and demonstrated ability to drive output metrics without walking the floor daily. Showing measurable cost reductions, uptime improvements, or safety results in previous roles gives you a concrete edge over candidates with similar titles but weaker documented impact.
Which companies hire remote director of plant operationss?
Employers currently hiring remote director of plant operationss include Augmentis, IQVIA, and Saint-Gobain, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be multi-site manufacturers, remote-first industrial services firms, and distributed supply chain companies where operations leadership coordinates across facilities rather than managing a single physical plant.
Can you get a remote director of plant operations job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry into this role is harder because you must demonstrate independent judgment from day one without on-site mentorship. Companies most open to less-experienced candidates are early-stage or high-growth operations firms building out their remote infrastructure. Showing project ownership, process improvement results, and strong async communication skills can substitute for years of tenure in a director-level title.
Do you need a degree for remote director of plant operations jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers care more about verifiable operations results, such as measurable efficiency gains or safety record improvements, than a specific credential. That said, a degree in engineering, operations management, or a related field does appear in a majority of postings, so candidates without one should lead with concrete outcomes and any relevant certifications in lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or supply chain management.
Which industries hire the most remote director of plant operationss?
The sectors hiring the most remote director of plant operationss are Chemicals & Materials, Distribution & Wholesale, and Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely on distributed teams and multi-site models where centralized operations leadership delivers more consistent results than placing a director at each individual location.
