Global Operations Lead

Key Responsibilities

• Own complex, high-priority programs from initial planning through execution and handoff, including M&A initiatives spanning diligence through integration, geographic expansion and entity formation, and major operational transitions.
• Build and drive the program plan, translating a messy objective into clear requirements, workstreams, owners, dependencies, readiness gates, and decisions; proactively surface risks, resolve blockers, and adjust the plan as facts change.
• Connect the dots across functions. Partner deeply with People, Recruiting, Finance, Legal, Tax, IT, and other teams to understand how decisions in one workstream affect another, identify gaps before they become problems, and make sure the right people are involved at the right moments.
• Build repeatable infrastructure as we scale, turning what we learn from each program into better templates, SOPs, playbooks, and operating processes for the next one.
• Drive critical decisions forward. Develop a point of view, frame tradeoffs, bring the right stakeholders together, and ensure decisions translate into execution.

Key Requirements

• 7+ years of experience leading complex, cross-functional programs in fast-moving environments, including meaningful experience supporting M&A transactions and integrations across multiple stages of the lifecycle
• A hands-on operating style and strong bias toward action. You dig into the substance, step into gaps, and do what’s needed to keep complex work moving. You’re comfortable figuring things out as you go and have good judgment about what requires deeper diligence versus what simply needs to get done.
• Strong stakeholder management and judgment, with the ability to align specialists and senior leaders across functions without formal authority.
• Clear, direct executive communication. You can distill a complicated program into the decisions, risks, and tradeoffs that matter and communicate them appropriately to everyone from executives to affected employees.
• Strong AI fluency. You use AI as a core part of how you work — to move faster, synthesize information, work through ambiguity, and increase the quality and leverage of your output.
