About DM Vans
Since 2018, we've hand-built more than 750 camper vans at our workshop in Rifle, CO. We're not just an RV company — we're vanlifers who build vans. Most of us have lived this life. Many still do. Every system in our vans exists because one of us once said "never again."
Our mission is to build an inclusive community of explorers, inviting everyone to express their authentic identity on the open road. That community starts with our team — the people who design, build, sell, support, and keep the place running. The vans are how we get there. The community is the point.
We run on EOS — Entrepreneurial Operating System. Scorecards, Rocks, L10s, People Analyzer, and TRAIL development conversations are how we operate every week. This JD reflects that.
1. Why This Seat Exists
DM Vans needs one Director-level seat that owns the entire Finance + Administration department — Finance, HR, IT, and all department contractors. This seat is Director-track — it earns full Director title by delivering trustworthy financials, lender-ready reporting, an HR and IT back office that doesn't slow the line, and clean contractor oversight.
