Okay, let’s calculate this. Bethany has a broad set of skills in operations management, program management, and supply chain management. Her experience in leading cross-functional teams is also valuable. However, her certification is only Six Sigma Greenbelt, which is a good starting point but not as prestigious as Blackbelt or Master certifications. Location is Meridian, Idaho, which is a smaller market. According to national averages, operations managers with similar skills and experience can earn around $75-$125 per hour. Considering her certification and experience, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $85, which is slightly above the lower end of the average range.
