About the role

The Business Operations Team Lead is a hands-on leadership role, combining people management with direct ownership and execution of Business Operations activities and processes.

The role is responsible for leading and developing a team of Operations Specialists, driving strong operational performance, and ensuring effective and scalable execution across the purchase-to-pay (P2P) lifecycle.

Working closely with Procurement, Finance, Accounts Payable, Legal, Accounting, Treasury, Logistics, and other stakeholders, the Team Lead drives process improvements, resolves cross-functional challenges, supports the implementation of new capabilities and ways of working, and helps ensure that Business Operations can effectively support the organization as it grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop the Business Operations team, setting clear expectations, providing ongoing feedback, managing performance, and supporting individual professional growth.
• Maintain an active hands-on role in Business Operations activities, including managing assigned PRs, requests and tickets, while also supporting complex cases and operational escalations across the P2P lifecycle, alongside team leadership responsibilities.
• Own and continuously improve Business Operations processes and operational standards, ensuring effective, consistent, and scalable execution across the team.
• Drive operational performance and quality by managing team priorities and workload, monitoring key metrics, identifying trends and gaps, and taking action to improve results.
• Partner with Procurement, Finance, AP, Legal, Accounting, Treasury, and other stakeholders to manage cross-functional topics and resolve operational challenges.
• Identify recurring issues, process gaps, and inefficiencies, and drive practical improvements from identification through implementation.
• Drive and contribute to the design, testing, implementation, and adoption of new workflows, systems, automation, and operational capabilities.
• Ensure processes and execution are aligned with internal policies, controls, and business requirements.
• Lead and contribute to cross-functional projects and initiatives that improve efficiency, quality, controls, and scalability.
