• Ensure visibility & accountability: Lead dashboard builds of real-time insights that connect labor, equipment utilization, and scheduling performance to business outcomes.
• Operationalize improvements: Diagnose bottlenecks, design solutions, and lead pilots/rollouts to close gaps.
• Cross-functional leadership: Act as the connective tissue between Strategy Operations, Product, Data, and Manufacturing, ensuring system architecture reflects operational realities and future scale needs.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years in operations, manufacturing, or systems-focused roles (consulting, strategy, or product ops experience a plus).
• Strong program/project management skills with experience delivering cross-functional system rollouts.
• Experience designing and implementing systems for scale (ERP/MES, scheduling, resource allocation).
• Data-driven problem solver
• Strong communicator who can translate operational needs into system requirements and influence cross-functional partners.

• Experience with marketplace business models
• Management consulting or investment banking backgrounds, extra bonus points for startup experience
