Core Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary business operations partner to Operations leadership, providing data-driven recommendations that influence strategic and operational decisions.
• Consolidate revenue, cost, demand, capacity, and headcount data into a comprehensive view of business performance, establishing a single source of truth across Operations and Finance.

• Deliver executive insights that identify where the business should grow, where costs should be optimized, and where operational inefficiencies should be addressed.
• Own the end-to-end operational forecasting process, including demand planning, revenue forecasting, labor and material costs, fleet utilization, vendor spend, workforce planning, and capacity management.
• Develop rolling forecasts, scenario models, and capacity plans that align operational execution with financial expectations.
• Define, maintain, and continuously improve operational and financial KPIs, including revenue execution, backlog, margin performance, technician productivity, forecast accuracy, and capacity utilization.
• Build executive dashboards, operational scorecards, and standardized reporting that provide visibility into business performance and support informed decision-making.
• Lead Monthly Business Reviews (MBRs), quarterly performance reviews, and executive reporting by presenting business performance, root cause analysis, key risks, opportunities, and actionable recommendations.
• Partner closely with Finance, Accounting, Fleet, IT, and Data teams to ensure reporting consistency, data integrity, and alignment across systems and business processes.
• Collaborate with IT and Data teams to develop scalable reporting infrastructure, improve data quality, automate reporting, and expand business intelligence capabilities using tools such as Power BI.
• Identify pricing leakage, cost reduction opportunities, demand and capacity misalignment, and operational improvement initiatives that increase efficiency and profitability.
• Lead and develop a high-performing team of analysts responsible for revenue analytics, cost analytics, demand planning, workforce planning, and asset planning.
• Coach team members to evolve beyond reporting by developing analytical thinking, business acumen, and ownership of strategic recommendations.
• Establish governance, reporting standards, forecasting disciplines, and scalable business processes that improve visibility, accountability, and operational execution.

Core Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, Operations Management, Analytics, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 7+ years of progressive experience in business operations, operational planning, business analytics, finance, strategy, or a related analytical leadership role.
• 3+ years of experience leading business analysts, operational planning teams, or business operations functions.
• Demonstrated experience integrating operational and financial data into executive-level reporting, forecasting, and strategic recommendations.
• Strong understanding of operational drivers including revenue, demand, labor, fleet, materials, capacity planning, and cost management, with the ability to connect operational performance to financial outcomes.
• Experience developing operational forecasts, financial models, scenario planning, variance analysis, and performance management processes.
• Advanced analytical skills with expertise in Excel, Power BI (or similar BI platforms), data modeling, dashboard development, and KPI reporting.
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Finance, Accounting, Operations, Fleet, IT, and executive leadership.
• Excellent communication and executive presentation skills with the ability to simplify complex information into actionable business recommendations.
• Proven ability to influence decision-making, challenge assumptions, and drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholders.
• Demonstrated success leading continuous improvement initiatives, process optimization, reporting automation, and operational governance.
• Experience within telecommunications, utilities, energy, construction, industrial services, or another field service environment is strongly preferred.
