OUR CORE VALUES: Fun, Unique, Creative

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Smooth Operator (Business Ops Manager)

Raise Away is growing fast. Our CEO is out here donating millions of dollars in trips, the team keeps getting bigger, and we're pushing into new markets. Growth like this is a fantastic problem to have. It's also the kind of problem that can slowly turn into forty open browser tabs and a calendar nobody fully understands. So it's time to build the operational backbone that lets us scale cleanly. That's where you come in.

You're the person who walks into a busy, fast-moving company and immediately clocks the ten things that could run smoother. You cannot unsee a bottleneck once you've found it. You probably have strong opinions about file naming, and you're right to. Most of all, you love the quiet satisfaction of a process so clean nobody even notices it's there. Fair warning though: that's the curse of great ops work. Do it right and it looks like nothing happened. We'll notice. We promise.

Officially you're our Business Operations Manager. Around here you're the Smooth Operator, and yes, we fully expect you to live up to the name. Your job is to keep the whole operation flying steadily as we grow. Tighten the systems, sharpen the workflows, plug the small leaks before they turn into big ones, and free up our CEO to chase the big vision instead of getting pulled into the day-to-day.

HOW WE'LL KNOW IT'S WORKING

  • Our CEO is out of the day-to-day weeds (and slightly suspicious about how easy his week got)

  • On-time project delivery sits above 95% in Asana

  • The leaks are plugged: fewer operational errors, fewer costs we never should've been paying

  • Monthly and quarterly targets get hit

  • Projects land on budget
