Employment Type: Direct Hire
Our client, a large, high-growth organization, is looking for a Strategic Operations Manager to take over a running business line and create the next wave of programs behind it. You’ll be accountable for results, steer the direction, and grow a team of emerging talent. The right person started in an analytical seat, grew into leading people, and has already taken something from an idea to a working operation. If open-ended problems energize you and you want your name on the outcome, this one’s for you.

- Work alongside many corporate functions on complex, high-profile launches
Compensation: $140-160K based on experience
What You’ll Be Doing
- Steer the financial performance of a live business line, from staffing costs and margins to efficiency goals and outside spend
- Create the systems your teams run on: documented processes, performance metrics, quality checks, and automation
- Lead a sizable group of early-career employees, including managers who oversee their own people
- Set the roadmap for your programs and get them ready to scale
- Find operational weak spots and work with field and operations leaders to fix them
- Turn data into clear strategy documents and polished executive presentations
- Oversee outside partners and vendors, from contract terms to sponsorship value and return tracking
