You will own the system by which work is prioritized, resourced, measured, and communicated, providing operational leverage across the CTOO portfolio and ensuring alignment with broader enterprise priorities.**What You'll Do****Operating Cadence & Strategic Planning*** Design and lead the rhythm of the business across enterprise-wide technology operations — staff meetings, MBRs and QBRs, annual and quarterly planning cycles, and action tracking to closure.* Act as a key advisor to the CTOO in decision-making, managing priorities and portfolios to ensure alignment with strategic objectives.* Identify and prioritize strategic programs to improve delivery, efficiency, and risk posture across the CTOO Office.**Demand & Capacity Management*** Operate a single intake path for inbound work requests; triage, size, prioritize, and route against available capacity.* Own workforce and capacity planning across headcount and contractor mix, including allocation across value streams and forecasting of supply against committed and pipeline demand.* Surface capacity constraints and trade-off recommendations to leadership before they become escalations.**Financial Management*** Own the functional budget: forecast accuracy, OPEX and CAPEX tracking, and variance explanation in partnership with FP&A.* Support headcount planning, resource allocation, and cost transparency, ensuring the CTOO's priorities are met within financial constraints.**Strategic Sourcing & Vendor Management*** Manage contract lifecycle, renewals, and rate cards; drive vendor performance reviews against agreed outcomes.* Identify spend consolidation and rationalization opportunities across overlapping vendors and tooling.**Performance Management*** Define and maintain the KPI and OKR framework, scorecards, and dashboards for the function, including the data hygiene required to make them trustworthy.* Interpret operational and financial data to identify trends and inform decisions — insight and recommendation, not status reporting.**Portfolio & Program Oversight*** Maintain an investment-level view of initiatives, including dependencies, risks, and benefit realization.* Roll up program status to leadership and enterprise governance forums with a single credible source of truth on schedule and confidence.**Process & Continuous Improvement*** Standardize, document, and automate recurring processes; identify and retire low-value work.* Partner with teams to manage resistance and promote engagement during periods of change.**Executive Communications & Stakeholder Management*** Prepare briefings, decision packages, and presentations for leadership meetings at all levels, up to and including the Board of Directors.* Partner with business unit leaders on demand intake, prioritization, and shared initiative planning.**Governance & Risk Interlock*** Ensure policy adherence and reporting readiness across the function.* Coordinate with Enterprise Risk Management on risk reporting, remediation tracking, and governance forum inputs.**What You'll Bring*** Proven experience in a business operations or strategy and operations leadership role, preferably in a fast-paced or high-growth technology environment.* Deep understanding of business operations, financial metrics, and performance drivers in a technology company, including budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation.* Demonstrated ownership of demand and capacity management mechanics — intake, prioritization, and allocation across competing priorities.* Strong analytical capability: able to interpret data, identify trends, and translate insight into operational decisions.* Executive communication skills — able to compress ambiguity into a one-page recommendation for senior leaders and stand behind it.* Ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence without authority, including holding senior peers to commitments.* Experience handling sensitive and confidential information with discretion.**Qualifications*** Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Management, Information Technology, or a related field; MBA preferred.* 12+ years in a leadership or operational role, with a minimum of 5 years working closely with C-level executives in technology companies.* Direct experience supporting an information technology, cybersecurity, or technology infrastructure organization.* Demonstrated ownership of a multi-million dollar operating budget and vendor portfolio.* Proven track record driving cross-functional initiatives across Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing to successful completion.* Experience operating in a global, matrixed enterprise environment.**Preferred*** Working knowledge of cloud services commercial models — consumption-based pricing, reserved capacity, committed spend agreements, and cloud cost optimization (FinOps).* Familiarity with AI and LLM consumption economics, including token-based pricing models and cost-per-workload forecasting.The Job Description is intended to be a general representation of the responsibilities and requirements of the job.
