• Enterprise Standards: Define and maintain enterprise-wide standards for system usage, configuration, and process design, ensuring escalations flow through a central pipeline rather than disconnected, ad hoc channels.

Stakeholder Alignment & Business Partnership

• Strategic Liaison: Act as the primary bridge between portfolio leadership, operating-company leaders, dispatch/service teams, accounting, implementation resources, and the BuildOps vendor.
• Expectation Management: Translate complex business needs into clear requirements, use cases, and action plans while managing stakeholder expectations regarding timelines, trade-offs, and constraints.

Roadmap & Issue Management

• Backlog Ownership: Own the intake, documentation, prioritization, and follow-through of enhancement requests, defects, and workflow improvements.
• Vendor Partnership: Partner directly with BuildOps to evaluate platform capabilities, influence their broader product roadmap, and sequence future releases based on enterprise-impact opportunities.

Implementation & Rollout Leadership

• M&A and Launch Support: Support new Operating Company launches, acquisitions, tenant setups, and post-go-live stabilization.
• Playbook Development: Participate in discovery, solution design, user acceptance testing (UAT), and create repeatable implementation templates, golden processes, and launch checklists.

Data, Reporting & Visibility

• Executive Dashboards: Own and coordinate the enterprise reporting strategy for BuildOps to ensure leadership has reliable, real-time visibility into operational and financial performance across all companies.
• Data Validation: Validate that dashboards, reports, and source data align strictly with business definitions and intended use cases.

Change Management & Technical Coordination

• Adoption Support: Assess process changes for operational impact, document future-state workflows, and coordinate the training and communication required to reinforce new feature adoption.
• Technical Integration: Partner with accounting, IT, data, and integration teams on data migrations, system dependencies, ERP handoffs, and known platform workarounds.

• Experience: 5+ years in business systems, field service operations, implementation, process improvement, or enterprise applications ownership.
• Platform Management: Proven experience owning or administering an operational platform across multiple business units, regions, or subsidiaries.
• Operational Knowledge: Strong understanding of service operations, dispatch, work orders, purchasing, inventory, projects, agreements, and accounting-adjacent workflows.
