THE ROLE

We are entering the next stage of growth and are looking for a transformational operations leader to help build the operating infrastructure that will scale the company for years to come.

Reporting to the COO, the VP, Business Operations will design, standardize, and implement the processes, playbooks, operating rhythms, reporting frameworks, and governance that drive consistency across a growing national organization.

This is a hands-on transformation role for a builder who enjoys turning ambiguity into scalable operating models. Rather than inheriting mature systems, you'll help create them—partnering across Operations, HR, Finance, and Technology to build the operating discipline that enables the business to execute consistently as it grows.

Design and implement enterprise operating playbooks and standardized business processes.
Build KPI frameworks, executive dashboards, and business reporting that improve visibility and decision-making.
Establish operating rhythms, including weekly business reviews, QBRs, governance, and accountability mechanisms.
Lead cross-functional transformation initiatives from design through implementation, ensuring changes are adopted across the business.
Develop change management strategies that drive sustainable adoption of new ways of working.
Partner with HR to strengthen performance management, succession planning, and organizational effectiveness.
Identify opportunities to leverage automation and AI to improve operational efficiency, reporting, and business execution.
