This is a high-impact, execution-focused role ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys doing the “heavy lifting” behind strategic initiatives. You will act as a force multiplier for leadership - owning analysis, driving priority projects, and ensuring the company’s vision is translated into day-to-day execution.

The Role

As Business Operations Manager, you will sit at the center of the organization, working across engineering, go-to-market, and leadership teams. You will be a trusted advisor to the executive team, responsible for analytical rigor, operational discipline, and cross-functional alignment.

This role is hands-on, analytical, and visible, with regular exposure to executive leadership and board-level discussions.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner directly with the CEO and senior leadership to drive strategic initiatives and mission-critical projects
• Lead cross-functional coordination between technical and commercial teams to ensure timely execution
• Build and maintain quantitative analyses, pricing models, financial models, and executive-level materials (e.g., board decks, pitch decks)
• Support major initiatives including fundraising, strategic planning, and operational scaling
• Analyze and optimize business processes to improve efficiency, resource allocation, and performance
• Prepare clear, data-driven reporting for leadership and board meetings
• Provide decision support on complex business problems in a dynamic, high-growth environment

Ideal Background

• 3–5 years of experience in management consulting, private equity, investment banking, financial services, or a similarly rigorous environment
• Demonstrated track record of owning complex analyses and supporting senior decision-makers
• Strong quantitative and financial modeling skills; able to pull data quickly and synthesize insights clearly
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable creating executive- and board-level materials
• Experience working with or advising technology companies (startups or large enterprises preferred)
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple high-priority initiatives under pressure

Education & Additional Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree required (strong academic background from a reputable university)
• Master’s degree or MBA preferred but not required
• Military experience (particularly U.S. Army) preferred
• Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to apply for security clearance
• Willingness to work on-site in Phoenix, AZ

Why This Role?

• Direct partnership with the CEO and exposure to board-level decision-making
• Opportunity to shape operations at a critical growth stage
• Broad scope, real ownership, and visible impact
• Competitive compensation and long-term upside

If you are analytically strong, execution-focused, and excited by high-stakes, mission-driven work, this role offers a rare opportunity to sit at the center of a rapidly scaling organization.
