Which companies hire vp of operationss in California?

Employers hiring vp of operationss in California right now include Match, ORB, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. California's concentration of technology headquarters, large healthcare systems, and major logistics and consumer goods companies means demand for senior operations leadership is consistent across multiple industries statewide.

Which California cities have the most vp of operations jobs?

San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Palo Alto have the most vp of operations openings in California. Los Angeles generates the highest volume through its entertainment, logistics, and healthcare industries, while San Francisco and the broader Bay Area draw VP-level demand from technology and venture-backed companies, and San Diego's concentration of biotech and defense contractors sustains a steady stream of senior operations roles.

Are there remote vp of operations jobs in California?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 64% of vp of operations openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the prevalence of technology and SaaS companies in the state that are comfortable with distributed leadership. Revenue operations and business operations VP roles tend to be the most remote-eligible, while supply chain and facilities-heavy positions almost always require an on-site presence.

How can I get hired as a vp of operations in California with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is moving into an operations manager or director role first, then building toward the VP level over time. California's large technology companies and healthcare systems, including those in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, regularly hire operations managers and business operations leads who can grow into VP positions. Lateral moves from project management, finance, or supply chain analyst roles are common entry points, and an MBA from a California institution or a PMP certification can accelerate that progression.
