Job summary

Bolt Farm Treehouse is seeking a Special Projects Lead to act as the operational quarterback of the strike team, scoping, sequencing, and prioritizing the project queue across operations, guest experience, and tech.

You’ll run cross-functional initiatives autonomously from problem definition to shipped solution and handoff, staff projects by skill, and own post-mortems with learnings codified into SOPs for ongoing improvement.

Qualifications

• 3+ years running cross-functional projects in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
• Demonstrated portfolio of projects you scoped, staffed, and shipped (not just managed).
• Experience with AI-augmented workflows - you use automation tools in your own project management.
• Track record of working directly with founders or C-suite with minimal oversight.
• Comfortable with radical transparency, direct feedback, and a founder-led operating model.

Responsibilities

• Scope, sequence, and prioritize the strike team's project queue based on business impact.
• Run full cross-functional projects autonomously - from problem definition to shipped solution to handoff.
• Staff strike team members to projects based on skill match and urgency.
• Context-switch across operations, guest experience, finance, content, and tech without ramp-up.
• Build lightweight project frameworks that create accountability without bureaucracy.
• Identify and elevate blockers before they become crises.
• Own post-mortems and ensure learnings get codified into SOPs or doctrine.
• Mentor Special Projects Drivers and Associates on prioritization, stakeholder management, and execution tempo
