Sr. Director, Business Operations Reports To Chief Strategy Officer Location Alpharetta, GA Schedule 4 days/week in office Level Sr. Director

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.

• 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…
