Manager, Business Operations, Air Defense

About the role

We are looking for a Manager, Business Operations to join our rapidly growing team in Irvine, CA.

This role requires strong analytical skills, a knack for process improvement, and experience working with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Partner directly with our business-line Program Managers, Engineering Leaders, Strategic Growth personnel, and others to lead various strategic initiatives and special projects to establish scalable operations and forward progress across a portfolio of initiatives as we scale the Air Defense business line.
• Workforce Planning: Own the staffing infrastructure for Air Defense — managing headcount planning, recruiting coordination with Talent Acquisition, demand/supply forecasting, and charge code governance. Build tooling and processes that enable efficient resource allocation as the organization scales.
• Facilities Operations: Manage Air Defense’s facility strategy and execution, including 5+ US facilities and an rapidly expanding international footprint. This work will include neighborhood management, space planning, and seating coordination for organizational growth.
• Define and evolve the Confluence information architecture for Air Defense, driving adoption and content hygiene across stakeholders.
• You will be handed ambiguous, messy problems with little prescription on how to solve them. These could be across production, finance, growth strategy, hiring, real estate & facilities, or a multitude of other business needs.
• You will often act as the connective tissue — supporting design, development, and implementation of new processes, strategy, projects, and execution plans — across complex initiatives with multiple stakeholders and often 'gray area' scope.
• You will own operational projects end-to-end, from Definition, Solution, to Implementation - there is no one coming to save the day or pick up the baton. It will be your job to fully own outcomes in the business.
• You will often project manage across many stakeholders. If you don’t like being the person leading meetings with large groups of people or managing large Slack channels to wrangle stakeholders towards a solution, this may not be the role for you.

Requirements

• A minimum of 5+ years of varied experience in consulting or finance, in an operating role at a high-growth technology company, starting a venture, or other similar experiences.
• Demonstrated experience owning headcount planning, demand/supply forecasting, or workforce modeling in a scaling organization.
• Experience managing multi-site facility operations, space planning, or real estate coordination.
• You are highly analytical and love solving complex, cross-functional problems in a people centric way.
• You are both high ownership and low ego, approaching everything with strong outcome orientation and high humility.
• You don’t wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself.
• You are highly detail oriented and data-driven.
• You are tactical and don’t hesitate to get into the weeds of a problem.

Qualifications

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• MBA or similar advanced degree.
• Experience with Palantir Foundry, Looker/Tableau, or similar analytics platforms.
• Experience administering or architecting Confluence (or similar knowledge management tools) at scale.
