Job Description

## **Why this role exists**

We’re scaling **OpsArmy** and building an execution engine that can grow into a broader platform. The CEO needs a **high-agency operator** who can take messy problems, create clarity, and drive execution across teams—fast.

This role is designed to be a **force multiplier**: part strategy, part operations, part project/program management.

## **What you’ll do (core responsibilities)**

### **1) Run the company operating cadence**

* Build and manage weekly priorities, KPI tracking, and follow-up discipline
* Create lightweight systems: meeting agendas, decision logs, action items, owners, deadlines
* Keep teams aligned and execution moving without things slipping through cracks

### **2) Own cross-functional projects end-to-end**

* Lead initiatives across operations, recruiting, customer success, finance, and internal tooling
* Examples: improving hiring funnel, onboarding process, QA and delivery workflows, client retention playbooks, margin improvement initiatives
* Coordinate stakeholders, unblock issues, and ensure delivery on time

**3) Be the CEO’s right hand on execution + analysis**

* Turn goals into plans (milestones, risks, dependencies, resourcing)
* Draft clear memos, updates, and recommendations
* Bring structure to ambiguous decisions and propose the best path forward

### **4) Build documentation and scalable processes**

* Create SOPs, templates, and playbooks so execution becomes repeatable
* Implement continuous improvement loops (postmortems, root-cause fixes, prevention)

## **What success looks like (first 60–90 days)**

* Weekly execution rhythm is tight: priorities are clear, owners accountable, and deadlines met
* A simple KPI dashboard exists and is used weekly (sales, retention, delivery, hiring)
* 2–4 critical workflows are documented and improved measurably
* CEO time is protected and shifted toward high-leverage work (strategy, deals, key hires)

## **Ideal candidate profile**

You’re a sharp generalist who can think like a consultant and execute like an operator.

**Required**

* 2+ years in **consulting, business operations, project/program management, or ops leadership** (or equivalent)
* Extremely high ownership and initiative (you don’t wait to be told)
* Strong writing and communication in English
* Ability to manage multiple workstreams and drive stakeholders
* Comfort with basic data analysis (spreadsheets, dashboards, KPI tracking)

**Nice to have**

* Experience in a fast-paced startup or services business
* Familiarity with tools like Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, Slack, Asana/Jira, Zapier/Make
* Basic understanding of automation/AI workflows (not required, but a plus)

## **Working style**

* Remote, async-friendly, high accountability
* Direct feedback, fast iteration, and clear standards
* Measured on outcomes, reliability, and impact
