In this role you will partner with stakeholders across the organization to identify inefficiencies, redesign core workflows, and implement durable improvements that move key business metrics. This is a high-impact, cross-functional position for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys turning messy problems into clear processes, and can influence without direct authority.

What you will do

• Lead end-to-end process improvement initiatives, from discovery and root-cause analysis through design, implementation, and measurement. 
• Map current-state workflows, surface bottlenecks, and quantify the impact of inefficiencies using data. 
• Design and document future-state processes, including standard operating procedures, controls, and success metrics. 
• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders across operations, product, finance, and other teams to align on priorities and secure buy-in. 
• Facilitate workshops and working sessions to gather input, build consensus, and drive decisions. 
• Define and track KPIs to measure the effectiveness of process changes and report progress to leadership. 
• Identify opportunities for automation and tooling to reduce manual effort and improve consistency. 
• Coach and enable teams to sustain improvements after rollout.

Must Haves

• Significant experience leading business process improvement, operations excellence, or continuous improvement initiatives. 
• Demonstrated ability to map, analyze, and redesign complex processes that span multiple teams or functions. 
• Strong analytical skills, with comfort using data to diagnose problems and measure outcomes. 
• Proven success driving change in ambiguous, fast-moving environments without relying on formal authority. 
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, including the ability to influence senior leaders. 
• Experience facilitating workshops and leading cross-functional working groups. 
• Track record of delivering measurable results at scale.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience at a high-growth technology company, online marketplace, or platform business. 
• Familiarity with process improvement methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, or Kaizen. 
• Hands-on experience with process mapping, workflow, or automation tools. 
• Background partnering with operations, product, or finance teams on scaling initiatives. 
• Experience defining governance models and operating rhythms for newly designed processes.
