• Leadership: Manage a small but mighty team of Business Operations Managers & Specialists (currently 3 FTEs), and show up as a key leader across the North American business

We’re looking for

• Significant work experience with demonstrated success in high-performance cultures (whether in consulting, investment banking, or strategy or operations at a high-growth marketplace/technology company)
• An experienced people leader known for having honest, direct conversations to address performance and uphold a high standard
• Proven track record of successfully leading complex projects, owning revenue or growth goals, and working cross-functionally in a fast-moving environment
• Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills
• Ownership mindset and proactive attitude to find and implement solutions for complex issues
• Ability to build deep, trust-based relationships and collaborate with local and global stakeholders across departments
• Inspiring, engaging, and motivating communicator – in person and online
• Strong data retrieval, analytics, data visualization, and presentation skills
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent time management skills with a proven ability to meet deadlines
• Proficient with Excel/Google Sheets and PowerPoint/Google Slides
• Experience with Salesforce (reports, dashboards), Business Intelligence tools (e.g., Looker), and SQL are a strong plus
• Comfort with, and eagerness to use, AI tools to drive operational efficiency and speed up growth
