We are seeking a detail-oriented and empathetic Business Operations Manager for our Product Development function to be the key advisor to leadership, focused on making time management, information accessibility, and decision-making processes more efficient across 6 departments.

Reporting to the SVP, Product Development, the Business Operations Manager is responsible for serving as the air traffic controller for Product Development's leadership team, an integrator connecting work streams that would otherwise remain siloed, and a communicator linking the leadership team to the broader organization. The ideal candidate will be a truth teller when leadership needs a wide-ranging view without turf considerations and a confidant without any organizational agenda. You will anticipate problems and will be especially sensitive to issues that require diplomacy, functioning as additional eyes and ears.

Most importantly, the Business Operations Manager acts with the implicit imprimatur of the Product Development leadership team, which requires humility, maturity, and situational awareness.

As a full-fledged member of the Product Development senior leadership team your success will ultimately be measured by your ability to drive sharp gains in our leadership team's productivity, enterprise-wide impact, and employee engagement.
