Level
Sr. Director
About The Role
The Sr. Director of Business Operations is a senior operator and trusted partner to the CSO, CEO, and COO, responsible for running the company's strategic operating rhythm and solving its most consequential cross-functional problems. This role sits at the center of the business — owning the Q and OKR processes, driving alignment between GTM and Product, and leading the analytical and operational groundwork for market entry and strategic expansion.
This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution — equally comfortable building a business case for the Board, facilitating a cross-functional working session with the heads of Product and Sales, or diagnosing why a market entry plan isn't gaining traction. The ideal candidate brings the rigor of a top-tier consulting background and the instincts of a seasoned operator.
Key Responsibilities
Running the Business
- Own the company's strategic operating rhythm
- Partner with Finance to run the annual operating plan (AOP) process, ensuring strategic priorities translate into funded, accountable plans across functions.
- Own the OKR process end-to-end — goal setting, mid-cycle tracking, and cycle retrospectives — as the single source of truth on what the company committed to and where it stands.
- Lead quarterly business reviews (QBRs) across Product, GTM and Ops: design the agenda, drive the pre-read process, facilitate the session, and ensure every Q produces real decisions with clear owners.
- Identify when strategic priorities and operating realities are drifting apart and escalate proactively to the CSO and COO before gaps become crises.
GTM & Product Interlock
- Drive alignment between Product and GTM — ensuring the right products reach the right markets with the right go-to-market motion behind them.
- Lead root cause analysis when the interlock breaks down: win/loss patterns that point to product gaps, pipeline stalls caused by missing features, or GTM motions that don't match the product's value proposition.
- Build the structural mechanisms — forums, frameworks, and accountabilities — that keep Product and Sales durably aligned, not just aligned after the last offsite.
Market Entry & Strategic Expansion
- Lead or co-lead market entry efforts for adjacent verticals and new geographies — from market sizing and business case development through go-to-market design and operational readiness.
- Design the commercial and operating model for new market entry: pricing approach, customer success motion, channel strategy, and service delivery structure.
- Work across Product, Sales, Finance, and Operations to translate market entry decisions into funded operating plans with clear milestones and ownership.
Strategic Air Coverage
- Serve as the analytical and structural thought partner to the CSO, CEO, and COO on the company's highest-priority strategic questions.
- Lead high-priority special projects that are cross-functional in nature, require an independent perspective, or need the credibility and sponsorship of the CSO's office.
- Build the business cases, decision frameworks, and strategic analyses that enable senior leaders to make major capital allocation and portfolio decisions with confidence.
- Provide the Board and executive team with the strategic…
