Job description

• You’ll join ASI’s new Mission Operations function, serving as an operationally excellent force multiplier for our most important customer-facing programs and internal initiatives. Your job will be to forward deploy across the business and act as the bridge between operational challenges and mission outcomes. You will embed directly with business units to drive execution, remove roadblocks, and anticipate needs to ensure teams remain focused on the most important things
• This isn’t traditional project management. You’ll thrive in ambiguity, add structure where it helps, cut through bureaucracy rather than reinforce it, and do whatever it takes to get the mission across the finish line. You’ll be expected to:
• Drive the mission: You’re not a credit seeker or turf builder, you’re here to get things done
• Be the operational Backbone: You’ll partner with leadership across the business to keep execution on track, absorbing the operational load so they can focus on the hardest problems
• Set operating cadence and prioritization: Run the rhythm that keeps teams aligned. Own standups, agendas, pre-reads, decisions, and follow-ups so nothing falls through the cracks and every meeting earns its time
• See the forest and the trees: Anticipate issues and come with solutions. You need to be in the details, but also be able to look up and see what’s coming
• Measure what matters: Work with deployment and tech leads to define and track the metrics that drive velocity, then use them to make decisions, not just reports

Benefits

• Flexible work hours: With a global team supporting 24/7 mission-critical operations, we work hard and must be at our best. But we also work with flexibility in mind.
• Premium Healthcare: Health and wellness are critical to living a happy and resilient life. We provide first-class medical, dental, and vision coverage to you and your dependents.
• Flexible Time Off: We encourage you to take time off as you need it. While our team is hard-working, our success is measured by output—not time spent.
• Competitive Salary & Equity: Our team is our biggest asset. We value the hard work that each person commits to us, so we provide competitive, transparent compensation packages.
• Office Equipment & Tools: We bring the best tools to the mission, from ergonomic desk setups to modern productivity software. We have a freshly prepared team lunch every day.
