Job Description

Business Operations Manager Water, Inc. Carson, CA Job Details Full-time $85,000 - $105,000 a year 1 day ago Benefits Health insurance Dental insurance 401(k) Paid time off Vision insurance 401(k) matching Life insurance Qualifications Operational analysis SAP ERP systems Business analysis Financial analysis Process management Full Job Description We've been distributing and manufacturing high-quality water filtration systems since 1977, serving the Western United States. And we're building the team that takes us through the next chapter. This is a small company where your work is visible, your ideas get heard, and what you do actually matters. The Role This position sits at the center of how the business operates. You will be the operational backbone of the company — the person who keeps the systems accurate, the processes moving, and the numbers clean. You will own our ERP system (Prophet21), support our financial operations, and help us build smarter workflows across order management, purchasing, and reporting. You will work directly with top management. This is a genuine opportunity to reshape how a 47-year-old company runs — with the autonomy to do it right. What You'll Own ERP & Business Systems You'll be the internal expert on Prophet21 — how it works, how it should work, and how to close the gap. Order flow, inventory, pricing, purchasing, customer and vendor records, sales order customization. When something breaks or doesn't make sense, you figure it out. You'll help manage the ERP connection to our website and evaluate where modern tools, including AI-assisted workflows, can make us more efficient. Accounting Operations You don't need to be a CPA. You need to understand how the numbers flow and care that they're right. Bank reconciliation, AP/AR support, inventory adjustments, vendor payments, and month-end preparation. You'll work alongside a fractional controller who handles oversight — you're the one who makes sure the data they're looking at is accurate and clean. Process & Office Operations You'll build and improve the SOPs that don't exist yet, fix the ones that don't work, and help a small team run more smoothly. You'll also handle day-to-day HR basics for a tight-knit office team of six. Who You Are You probably have a background in accounting, business operations, or finance — but you've always been more comfortable than most with systems. You've owned an ERP or been the person everyone calls when it needs fixing. You understand why the month-end numbers don't add up and how the system produced them. You're curious, self-directed, and genuinely interested in making things work better.
What we are looking for:
6-12 years of experience in business operations, finance, or accounting, ideally at a distribution, wholesale, or product-based company Genuine hands-on experience owning an ERP system, not just using one Enough financial fluency to support month-end close and keep the numbers clean Comfortable in a small company where you wear multiple hats and do not wait to be told what to do Someone who looks at a broken workflow and cannot help but fix it P21 experience is a real plus; NetSuite, SAP, or a comparable distribution ERP works too What This Is Not A maintenance role. A report-running role. If you want to be handed a process and follow it indefinitely, this isn't the right fit. We want someone who looks at how we do things and can't help but improve them. Details Competitive compensation, depending on experience | Health, dental, vision | 401(k) with company match | Paid time off | Full-time, on-site, Carson CA To apply: tell us briefly about an ERP or business system you've owned and one thing you changed about how it was used. No recruiters, please.
