Who We Are Is What We Do.

Deel is the all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams. Our vision is to unlock global opportunity for every person, team, and business.

Among the largest globally distributed companies in the world, our team of 5,000 spans more than 100 countries, speaks 74 languages, and brings a connected and dynamic culture that drives continuous learning and innovation for our customers.

Why should you be part of our success story?

As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies – breaking down borders that have traditionally limited both hiring and career opportunities. We're not just building software; we're creating the infrastructure for the future of work, enabling a more diverse and inclusive global economy. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries—ensuring people get paid and protected, no matter where they are.

Our momentum is reflected in our achievements and customer satisfaction: CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator’s top companies list – all while maintaining a 4.83 average rating from 15,000 reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Captera, Apple and Google.

Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $12 billion valuation and $800 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.

The Senior Business Operations Manager will be responsible for optimizing and driving strategic operational initiatives across the company. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to streamline processes, identify inefficiencies, and implement scalable solutions that contribute to Deel's growth and operational excellence. You will work closely with senior leadership to ensure that operational goals are met, aligning business processes with the company’s strategic objectives.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage key operational projects, ensuring alignment with company goals and strategic priorities.
• Analyze and optimize internal processes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and drive productivity across departments.
• Collaborate with senior leadership to define and implement KPIs and performance metrics that measure operational success.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams to execute large-scale initiatives, ensuring timely and successful delivery.
• Oversee the development and implementation of operational policies and procedures.
• Provide data-driven insights to support decision-making and drive continuous improvement efforts.
• Identify and mitigate risks that could affect business operations, recommending solutions to prevent disruptions.
• Manage budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation for operational projects and initiatives.
• Develop and maintain relationships with key internal stakeholders to promote collaboration and alignment.
• Provide mentorship and guidance to junior team members, helping to develop their operational expertise.
  
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
• 7+ years of experience in business operations, management consulting, or project management.
• At least 3 years of experience in a managerial or leadership role, with a proven track record of managing teams and driving operational efficiency.
• Strong analytical skills, with experience in data analysis and performance measurement.
• Proficiency in using business tools such as Microsoft Excel, Power BI, and project management software (e.g., Asana, Jira, Monday.com).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex information to senior leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to implement process improvements that drive business results.
• Strong project management skills, with a focus on meeting deadlines and delivering quality outcomes.
