  • Long Term Opportunity: Evolve into VP Operations or COO as the company scales.

Requirements

  • Track record of building processes and systems from scratch, not just maintaining them
  • Exceptional project management skills with ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities—you love diving into data to find insights

  • Outstanding communication skills and ability to influence without authority
