You'll work alongside the CPO, COO, and CEO in a standing weekly meeting where you'll present recommendations and solutions. With executive approval, you'll lead implementation across product, client services, operations, and go-to-market functions.This is not a strategy role or a Chief of Staff role. It is a hands-on operating role focused on execution: identifying friction in our business, designing solutions, and shipping the changes that improve how Recruitics operates day-to-day. You'll spend your first month embedded across teams, learning how the business runs today. After that, you'll work in weekly cycles — diagnose, recommend, implement, measure.This role assumes meaningful, hands-on experience using AI tools to compound your own output. We're not looking for general familiarity with AI — we're looking for someone who has already built workflows that replace manual work and saves measurable time each week. In the application process, we'll ask you to share a specific example of an AI-powered workflow you've designed and shipped.RESPONSIBILITIESPartner with the CPO, COO, and CEO to identify and prioritize operational opportunities across the companyDiagnose workflows across client services, implementation, product operations, and go-to-market — and recommend changes with clear solutionsLead implementation of approved changes, working directly with functional leaders and their teamsDesign and build automated workflows using modern tooling, including AI-powered solutions, to reduce manual work and increase team capacityMeasure the impact of changes and iterate based on what the data showsBuild durable operating systems — documentation, dashboards, and workflows that outlast any single projectREQUIREMENTS7+ years of experience in business operations, strategy and operations, internal consulting, or a similar cross-functional roleProven track record of identifying inefficiencies in complex organizations and successfully leading implementation of operational improvementsHands-on experience building automated workflows.
