Reporting & Analysis • Track and report operational performance metrics. • Identify trends, issues, and opportunities for improvement. • Conduct client and stakeholder feedback sessions to enhance service quality. Project Ownership • Lead strategic, cross-functional projects from start to completion. • Build and implement operational systems that support scaling. • Ensure projects are delivered on time and produce measurable outcomes. You Will Thrive Here If You… • Own your work and move fast to make things happen. • Stay adaptable when things change because they will. • Communicate clearly and stay calm when things get intense. • Think like a founder: proactive, hands-on, and focused on results. • Don’t watch the clock, you care about getting it done right. What You Bring • 5+ years in consulting, business operations, or strategy (startup or high-growth preferred). • Proven ability to lead complex, cross-departmental initiatives. • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. • Experience working directly with senior executives. • Deep understanding of operations, finance, and execution strategy. • Sound judgment, discretion, and reliability in high-stakes work. • Bonus: Experience in fintech, digital platforms, or founder-led companies. Why Join Us • Competitive, performance-based compensation. • Direct involvement in company strategy and execution. • Opportunity to shape high-impact, cross-functional initiatives. • Career progression toward GM, COO, or other senior roles. • A culture built on speed, ownership, and accountability. • Flat structure — no politics, just results.
