In this role, you will work closely with technical development teams and operations groups to ensure seamless understanding, adoption, and continuous feedback for emerging solutions.

This role will have a strong focus on change management and project management for large, complex initiatives, particularly in areas where there are organizational gaps, evolving ownership, or limited existing structure. The ideal candidate is highly adaptable and comfortable moving from project to project, quickly developing deep subject matter expertise, creating clarity in ambiguous environments, and driving execution until the business is positioned for sustained success.

  • Tool Adoption & Organizational Readiness: Lead onboarding and change management efforts for new tool adoption across multiple operations teams, ensuring alignment with broader business and operational strategies.
  • Feature Communication: Clearly communicate feature launches, updates, and roadmaps to diverse operational audiences through presentations, demos, training materials, and written documentation.
  • Feedback Loop Management: Gather, structure, and relay operational team feedback to product and engineering teams to inform prioritization and roadmap decisions. Proactively identify and resolve barriers to adoption and execution.
  • Scalable Deployment Planning: Develop and implement scalable rollout plans, including pilot definition, success metrics, risk management, timeline management, and post-launch support.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Facilitate regular syncs, workshops, and working sessions across operations, engineering, product, and leadership teams to drive alignment, transparency, and executional excellence.
  • Reporting & Executive Communication: Track adoption, program performance, risks, pain points, and business impact to deliver clear, data-driven updates and recommendations to senior leadership.
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve deployment, onboarding, and operational workflows. Lead initiatives to reduce friction, improve user experience, and strengthen long-term process effectiveness.
