Chickn Legs is growing fast, and we’re looking for a Director of Business Operations & Planning to help turn company priorities into coordinated execution across the business.

This is a hands‑on operating role for someone who can see the big picture and then get deep enough into the details to make sure things actually happen.

You’ll work across Sales, Marketing, Product, Operations, Finance, and People to connect plans, identify dependencies, establish clear ownership, track performance, solve cross‑functional problems, and keep the company moving toward its most important goals.

This isn't a role for someone who only builds plans or facilitates meetings. You’ll be expected to drive execution.

• Use data to understand performance, identify trends, surface risks, and determine where additional attention is needed
• Partner with functional leaders to define meaningful KPIs and ensure teams understand performance against goals
• Investigate when results don't match expectations and help determine what's driving the gap
• Translate business data into clear priorities, decisions, and actions
• Build reporting and operating tools that give leadership useful visibility without creating unnecessary bureaucracy

Strategic Initiatives + Problem Solving

• Lead high‑priority projects and initiatives that don't sit cleanly within a single department
• Take ambiguous business problems, create structure around them, and drive them toward resolution
