Responsibilities

Implement quick wins that reduce friction and free up founder/leadership time.
Own vendor relationships and negotiate better contracts.
Partner with finance team for budget management.
Lead quarterly planning and cross-functional project coordination.
Near Term Impact: Build and scale our people operations: onboarding, performance management, compensation frameworks.
Design and implement systems for managing rapid growth (tools, workflows, documentation).
Establish data-driven operational metrics and reporting cadence.
Begin building your team as complexity grows.
Long Term Opportunity: Evolve into VP Operations or COO as the company scales.
