Job description

Every purpose-soaked VP of Operations we've hired at StartupSphere had two things: a grip on Delegation and zero patience for general theater. Reduce it to essentials and you have $202,000 - $314,000, a MN VP of Operations seat, 13 years asked, and a clear climb ahead.

Key Responsibilities

• Keep your Leadership edge sharp as the MN market shifts
• Spot where Process Improvement breaks before it shows up in a dashboard
• Sense when a Woodbury relationship needs a call, not an email
• Refuse to let Collaboration debt quietly accumulate on your watch
• Absorb 12 of context fast and start contributing sooner
• Keep Collaboration documentation current as the work outpaces it

What You'll Bring

• Fluency across Attention to Detail and Process Improvement, with strong opinions on both
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a forward-thinking contract team
• Prior experience working on-site in Woodbury, MN, or willingness to relocate
• Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
• Experience at the vp level inside a contract role

StartupSphere is where curious, joyfully-rigorous people come to build the future of general. At StartupSphere you can challenge your skip-level's plan and still get a thank-you for it.

Your offer at StartupSphere: $202,000 - $314,000, a mentor, generous benefits, and the Woodbury, MN flexibility to grow on your own clock.
