Minimum of 6 years of experience as a Producer, Technical Program Manager, Chief of Staff, Business Operations lead, or comparable role in a technical organization.

Excellent communication — able to translate complex operational detail into a clear "so what" for senior leaders. Demonstrated ability to improve operating practices across teams and functions, increasing clarity, efficiency, and execution over time. Experience applying AI and automation to streamline organizational workflows, accelerate decision-making, and increase operating leverage. Desired Qualifications: Experience supporting a data, developer, or infrastructure platform. SaaS vendor management at scale (renewal strategy, contract prep, QBRs). Finance partnership on budget forecasting, spend management, or capitalization. Fluency with Jira, portfolio reporting tools, and lightweight BI (SQL / dashboards).
