  • Champion practical AI enablement within the Finance team.
  • Continuously audit internal processes to uncover automation and modernization opportunities.

Management Operating System & Cadence
  • Own and refine the operational operating cadence (e.g., quarterly planning milestones, OKR/KPI tracking, executive dashboards, and strategic reviews).
  • Build and maintain clean reporting mechanisms that provide ongoing visibility into key initiatives and operational health.
  • Ensure executive action items, cross-departmental commitments, and decision logs are systematically tracked and closed out.

  • Senior Manager level: 7+ years in Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, or Consulting
  • Director level: 10+ years with a demonstrated track record of leading major cross-functional transformations and operating cadences.
  • Industry Context: Background in B2B software, SaaS, or high-growth technology organizations preferred.
  • AI & Tech Savvy: Active power-user familiarity with modern AI platforms, workflow orchestration, and modern productivity tooling.
  • Execution & Structure: Proven capability to establish project governance, track complex deliverables, and build structured operating systems from scratch.
  • Stakeholder Management: Strong executive presence, clear communication, and the ability to influence cross-functional peers without direct line authority.
  • Work Arrangement: Ability to work a hybrid schedule on-site at our Burlington, MA office.
  • Manual Dexterity: Repetitive motion of wrists, hands and fingers for using a computer.
  • Stationary Tasks: Sitting for extended periods, remaining in a stationary position.


What We Offer

Our comprehensive compensation package is vital in how we recognize our people for the impact they make on us reaching our goals as a company.
