Why This Role Matters

  • Turn the CEO’s vision into clear operational priorities.
  • Drive company-wide execution and accountability.

  • Operational Management

  • Oversee daily operations to ensure productivity and compliance.
  • Manage timelines, reporting, collections, and invoice issuance.
  • Establish standard operating procedures and monitor performance.
  • Drive execution discipline and consistency across teams.
  • Financial & Resource Management

  • Oversee billing, collections, and operational cost management.
  • Ensure timely and accurate documentation of financial activities.
  • Collaborate with Finance to manage budgets and optimize spending.
  • Provide regular performance and progress updates to senior management.
  • Executive Enablement

  • Prepare data, analysis, and recommendations for executive decision-making.
  • Prioritize and manage the CEO’s operational agenda and communication.
  • Draft professional materials for internal teams, partners, and board members.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Lead and structure leadership meetings, off-sites, and project reviews.
  • Work closely with department heads to resolve issues and maintain progress.
  • Strengthen collaboration between Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations, and Medical Affairs.
  • Reporting & Analysis

  • Track and report operational performance metrics.
  • Identify trends, issues, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Conduct client and stakeholder feedback sessions to enhance service quality.
  • Project Ownership

  • Lead strategic, cross-functional projects from start to completion.
  • Build and implement operational systems that support scaling.
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time and produce measurable outcomes.
  • You Will Thrive Here If You…

  • Own your work and move fast to make things happen.
  • Stay adaptable when things change because they will.
  • Communicate clearly and stay calm when things get intense.
  • Think like a founder : proactive, hands-on, and focused on results.
  • Don’t watch the clock, you care about getting it done right.
  • What You Bring

  • 5+ years in consulting, business operations, or strategy (startup or high-growth preferred).
  • Proven ability to lead complex, cross-departmental initiatives.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Experience working directly with senior executives.
  • Deep understanding of operations, finance, and execution strategy.
  • Sound judgment, discretion, and reliability in high-stakes work.
  • Bonus : Experience in fintech, digital platforms, or founder-led companies.
  • Why Join Us

  • Competitive, performance-based compensation.
  • Direct involvement in company strategy and execution.
  • Opportunity to shape high-impact, cross-functional initiatives.
  • Career progression toward GM, COO, or other senior roles.
  • A culture built on speed, ownership, and accountability.
  • Flat structure — no politics, just results.
  • If you’re ready to lead from behind the scenes and drive real impact, join us at BJAK.
