We are looking for an experienced Operations Manager / Project Manager stepping into a busy, cross-functional role that combines day-to-day operational management, escalation handling, people leadership, and active project delivery. This role sits at the centre of the business, working closely with leadership and managing a small team, while also driving forward several time-boxed strategic projects (system migrations and implementations) currently in progress. The ideal candidate is highly organized, comfortable managing competing priorities, confident communicating with senior stakeholders, and capable of quickly picking up context on live projects without significant ramp-up time.

Periodic / As-Needed

Requirements

• Proven experience in an operations management and/or project management role, ideally within a fast-paced, tech-enabled or SaaS business

• Experience managing direct reports, including running 1:1s and unblocking day-to-day issues

• Strong track record of managing multiple concurrent projects, including system implementations/migrations (e.g., CRM, billing, support tooling)

• Comfortable owning executive-level reporting and presenting to leadership

• Experience handling customer escalations and cross-functional ad-hoc requests

• Familiarity with tools such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Intercom (or equivalent CRM/support platforms) is a strong plus

• Building and maintaining reports involving pivot tables, lookups (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH), and formula-driven models

• Reconciling and analyzing financial data (aging balances, revenue/churn figures) with a high level of accuracy

• Translating raw data into clear, exec-ready summaries and dashboards

• Excellent communication, prioritization, and stakeholder management skills

• Able to work independently and hit the ground running with minimal handover time

Handover & Onboarding
Given the breadth of live projects and standing responsibilities, a structured handover period with the current role holder is strongly recommended prior to leave commencing, covering:

• Introductions to direct reports and key stakeholders

• Access to reporting templates (weekly exec report, KPI dashboards, AR aging, churn reports)
