Reports To: Senior Director of Operations

Indagare is hiring a Temporary Operations Associate for an initial three-month term, with a strong possibility of conversion to a permanent, full-time role based on performance and business need. This person's primary focus will be our Finance x Operations initiative – a cross-functional effort to modernize and tighten up several of our core operational and financial processes – working under the direct oversight of the Senior Director of Operations.

As capacity allows, this role will also grow into supporting partner and supplier-facing communications as well as cross-functional projects with other internal departments.

We're looking for someone with excellent project management instincts and the confidence and polish to work directly with, and manage up to, senior leadership. This person should be comfortable driving initiatives forward independently, keeping multiple work streams and stakeholders organized, and pushing projects to completion – someone who can genuinely move the needle for the business.

Working closely with the Senior Director of Operations and in coordination with Finance leadership, this role will drive the following work streams:

• Cross-Departmental Accountability
• Ensure meeting notes and action items are distributed promptly and clearly across all work streams.
• Track deadlines and proactively hold team members accountable to their commitments.

End-of-Year Sentiment & Impact Review

Conduct a retrospective/sentiment review at the end of the engagement (or calendar year) to assess what was accomplished.

Measure and summarize impact against relevant KPIs, and capture lessons learned for future process work.

As the Finance x Operations project progresses and bandwidth allows, this role will expand to include:

• Serving as a point of contact liaising with suppliers on behalf of Operations, coordinating communications and following up on open items.
• Supporting cross-functional projects with other internal departments beyond Finance and Operations, as priorities arise.
• Taking on additional operations projects and initiatives as assigned, based on demonstrated capacity and performance.
