Storage Scholars was looking for a Student Operations Manager - Los Angeles Area

Lead student operations for campus moving and storage services at UCLA and throughout the Los Angeles region. This role puts you in charge of organizing and running critical move-in and move-out periods, giving you direct responsibility for team leadership, logistics coordination, and customer service—all while you're still a student.

What You’ll Do

  • Supervise and guide teams of student movers throughout the academic year’s busiest transitions
  • Oversee daily operations, including loading, transporting, and storing student belongings
  • Use an online inventory system to track and manage storage orders
  • Drive moving trucks and coordinate with regional partners to ensure smooth execution
  • Communicate clearly with students, staff, and external partners during high-pressure periods
  • Solve problems quickly when schedules shift or unexpected challenges arise
  • Represent the organization on campus and support outreach initiatives

Who You Are

You're currently enrolled at UCLA or another institution in the Los Angeles area and looking to take on meaningful responsibility. You’re comfortable in fast-moving, physical environments and enjoy leading peers toward shared goals. You communicate clearly, stay calm under pressure, and take ownership of results.

  • Proven ability to lead and motivate a team is a plus
  • Experience in logistics, operations, or coordination is helpful but not required
  • Familiarity with digital inventory systems is an advantage

What You’ll Gain

  • Self-paced virtual training starting in March, plus ongoing remote check-ins
  • Hands-on leadership experience during on-campus operations at the end of spring semester
  • Flexible summer schedule—step away for other commitments or choose to stay involved
  • Opportunity to return early in the fall to lead move-in efforts
  • Real-world skills in logistics, team management, and decision-making
  • Direct access to mentorship and pathways to full-time leadership roles
  • Eligibility for performance-based bonuses, referral incentives, and 100% of tips earned
  • A compelling experience to highlight in future job interviews

Compensation & Work Structure

Compensation is commission-based, with payment for each item transported. Additional incentives include a $200 training bonus, $50 for referring interns, and $25 for customer referrals. All tips go directly to managers and movers.

This is an on-site role based at UCLA and across the Los Angeles region. Availability is required during peak move-out and move-in periods, with flexible options during summer months.

Our Culture

We believe in learning by doing. You’ll receive training and mentorship while being trusted to lead real operations. Our environment is fast, responsive, and built on student initiative. Leadership isn’t just a title—it’s a responsibility we give to those ready to grow. If you’re driven, adaptable, and want to build something tangible while in school, this role offers a unique path to stand out after graduation.
