What You’ll Need: • 15+ years of experience in Business Operations or related fields, with significant experience building and leading high-performing teams. • A track record of "operationalizing strategy"—taking high-level goals and building the infrastructure, processes, and teams needed to achieve them. • Demonstrated ability of managing a portfolio of diverse projects and stakeholders simultaneously while keeping the team focused. • Mastery of organizational change management, capable of guiding the company through growth phases and evolving operating models. • Strong executive presence with a focus on pragmatism and results; able to cut through noise to drive clarity and action among senior leadership. • Deep experience with resource planning, headcount management, and operational budgeting.
