What You'll Do
As the General Operations Manager, you will help bring structure and visibility to a fast-growing operational environment where leaders are already executing at full capacity. While the team is delivering strong results through sheer effort, the pace of growth has exposed gaps in cross-functional visibility, process documentation, and dependency tracking. In this role, you will embed within the team to map how work actually flows, build visibility dashboards, and implement tracking mechanisms that create a clear framework for execution and ensure nothing falls through the cracks as the organization continues to scale. Your core responsibilities will include the following:
- Map & Document Current Workflows
- Conduct structured interviews with Ops, Finance, Compliance, and Client Success to understand how work currently flows end-to-end.
- Document key workflows: patient qualification, order routing, client onboarding, billing/collections, invoicing, and partner support.
- Identify handoff points, bottlenecks, and failure modes where work gets stuck or dropped.
- Produce clear process maps and SOPs that teams can actually use.
- Build Visibility & Tracking
- Design and maintain a cross-functional initiative tracker — who owns what, what stage it's in, what's at risk.
- Build dashboards and scorecards that give leadership a real-time view of operational health.
- Track inter-department dependencies so that delays in one team's work surface before they cause downstream failures.
- Create escalation paths and status reporting cadences so the right people know the right things at the right time.
- Drive Accountability Without Authority
- Follow up with stakeholders on open items and commitments, keeping things moving without being a blocker.
- Proactively identify any bottlenecks in the execution plan and bring them to the attention of the relevant stakeholders.
- Facilitate cross-functional syncs and document decisions, action items, and owners.
- Maintain a clean issue log and drive resolution on recurring problems.
- Be the connective tissue between departments, so no one is surprised.
- Support Process Improvement Over Time
- Identify high-impact processes to prioritize for redesign based on error rates, cycle time, or volume.
- Propose and implement incremental improvements; measure impact.
- Build a simple continuous improvement intake mechanism so improvement ideas don't get lost.
- Support automation requirements gathering, translate operational pain points into clear requirements for the Product/Engineering team.

- 6–10 years of experience in Operations, Program Management, Business Operations, or Process Improvement.
- Has at least 2 years of experience working with companies based in the US.

- Advanced Excel/Sheets skills as a baseline.
- Excellent written and verbal communication in English, able to interview senior stakeholders and translate messy reality into clean documentation.

Nice-to-haves:
