As part of the Ventures team, we're looking for a Process Architect to design, implement, and scale the processes that enable Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Planning, Deployments, and partner teams to operate effectively across a variety of complex, cross-functional workflows. You'll be the person who turns ambiguous operational challenges into well-designed, durable processes that the business can rely on and grow into.

About The Job

In this role, you'll design, implement, and maintain processesboth entirely new and improvements to existing onesthat solve core cross-functional challenges across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Mission Operations, Finance, Product, and Deployments. Partnering closely with system architects and product managers, you'll develop workflows that operate within and around core business systems, and when necessary, you'll identify and drive the system changes required to unlock execution. Scalability will be top of mind as you architect these solutions, ensuring they can grow with the business and continue delivering value as volume, complexity, and team size increase.

A key part of your work will involve visually documenting business workflows from start to finish, translating intangible tasks into tangible diagrams that teams can rally around. You'll collaborate with business teams to root-cause problems, conceive process-based solutions, and implement them to improve our ability to buy, build, and deploy hardware quickly and correctly. You'll also work alongside Ventures Program Managers to support enterprise-scale programs, and you'll own the handoff of new and improved processes to business teamsmaking sure they are well-documented, well-understood, and sustainable long after your direct involvement ends.

Finally, you'll pinch hit wherever needed, filling critical gaps to keep the business running smoothly and to ensure your processes take root. This is a fundamental aspect of the role: we do what needs to be done, regardless of job title or listed responsibilities.

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain net new and existing processes that solve core cross-functional challenges across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Mission Operations, Finance, Product, and Deployments.
• Develop processes with System Architects and PMs that work within core business systems to identify and drive system change, unlocking execution of the new/improved business process.

• Own the transition of new and improved processes to the business teams, ensuring they are well-documented, well-understood, and sustainable beyond your direct involvement.
