About the Role

We are seeking a Strategic Operations Manager to lead enterprise-level operational initiatives and strategic projects that directly impact business performance, efficiency, and growth. This role is designed for a results-oriented professional who thrives at the intersection of strategy, operations, and cross-functional leadership, serving as a key partner to senior executives.

The Strategic Operations Manager will lead complex operational programs, process optimization initiatives, and strategic business planning efforts across multiple business units. This is not a traditional operations role; it’s a high-impact position that shapes organizational priorities, drives operational excellence, and enables strategic decision-making for senior leadership.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Partner with executive leadership to define, implement, and monitor strategic initiatives across operations, business processes, and organizational performance

  • Lead operational excellence programs, including process improvement, cost optimization, and efficiency initiatives

  • Develop and maintain KPIs, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms to provide actionable insights for decision-making

  • Support cross-functional projects that require coordination between Finance, Marketing, Product, Technology, and Business Units

  • Conduct in-depth analysis to identify trends, opportunities, and risks impacting operational performance

  • Drive change management and implementation of process improvements across multiple teams

  • Prepare executive-level presentations, strategic recommendations, and business cases for senior leadership

Job Qualifications and Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, Operations, or related field (MBA or advanced degree strongly preferred)

  • 7+ years of progressive experience in strategic operations, business transformation, or management consulting

  • Experience managing enterprise-wide initiatives, cross-functional projects, or complex operational programs

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with advanced Excel, data visualization, and project management experience

  • Proven ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to executives and stakeholders

  • Familiarity with digital tools, workflow automation, and business intelligence platforms

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

  • Strategic thinker with a strong ability to connect operational initiatives to business outcomes

  • Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and data-driven in decision-making

  • Exceptional project management and organizational skills

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management capabilities at all levels

  • Proactive, results-oriented, and adaptable in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

  • Collaborative leader who can influence without direct authority

Strategic Support

As Strategic Operations Manager, you will provide critical strategic support by:

  • Enabling executive decision-making with actionable operational insights

  • Guiding the implementation of enterprise priorities and cross-functional initiatives

  • Supporting organizational transformation programs and operational efficiency efforts

  • Driving alignment between business strategy and operational execution

Working Conditions

  • Hybrid or flexible remote work environment

  • High collaboration with senior executives and cross-functional teams

  • Fast-paced, results-oriented work environment with exposure to complex organizational challenges

  • Occasional travel for leadership meetings, strategic planning sessions, and key operational initiatives

Job Function

  • Strategic Operations & Business Transformation

  • Process Improvement & Operational Excellence

  • Executive Support & Cross-Functional Program Management

Compensation & Benefits

Total Compensation Range: $198,000 – $250,000 USD annually

Package includes:
