The Position: Head of Operations

We’re seeking a strategic, analytical, and execution-oriented Head of Operations to help Sunfish organize and align how we plan, prioritize, and execute during a period of rapid growth.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will bring functional plans together into a unified company plan, create structure around ambiguous work, and ensure priorities, decisions, owners, and next steps are clear. This is a hands-on role for a collaborative leader who can turn strategy into coordinated execution.

• Coordinate company-wide initiatives, product launches, and operating model changes.
• Lead high-priority CEO-sponsored projects from initial analysis through implementation and handoff.
• Serve as a trusted thought partner and organizing partner to the CEO and leadership team, to support business operations, company offsites, and ongoing initiatives.

Revenue & Business Operations

• Lead, manage, and develop the Business Operations and Revenue Operations team, setting clear priorities and success metrics.
• Partner with Growth, Member and Clinic Success, Product, and Finance to improve the end-to-end revenue funnel.
• Strengthen forecasting, conversion, cross-functional handoffs, and revenue visibility.
• Ensure CRM and business intelligence systems provide accurate, actionable information for decision-making.
• Identify funnel gaps and coordinate cross-functional actions to improve performance.

Business Systems, SOPs & Infrastructure

• Partner with functional leaders to translate business processes into clear, scalable SOPs with defined owners and handoffs.
• Own the rollout and optimization of new and existing business tools, including requirements gathering, implementation, documentation, training, and adoption.
• Oversee core business systems, including HubSpot, and ensure they are embedded into day-to-day work.
• Monitor tool adoption, data quality, and process adherence while identifying opportunities to standardize or automate workflows.
• Coordinate commercial contracting and partner with Legal, Finance, and Compliance to track contractual, vendor, and enterprise risks.

Member Operations

• Partner with Member Experience to build and scale the operational infrastructure supporting the end-to-end member journey.
• Improve critical workflows including billing, care coordination, member communications, and cross-functional handoffs.
• Use member feedback and operational data to identify friction points and drive improvements to the member experience.
• Build scalable processes and playbooks that enable the Member Experience team to operate effectively as Sunfish grows.
