Develop and optimize scalable operational processes across vendor management, delivery, and customer success.

Lead a cross-functional team across operations, client success, and vendor management.

Analyze data and identify areas for improvement across operational workflows.

Collaborate with the leadership team to shape long-term strategy and support business growth.

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of experience in operations, delivery, or client success, ideally within a tech consulting, staffing, or platform-based business.

Proven experience in vendor development, talent delivery, and client relationship management.

Strong leadership and team management skills with a hands-on mindset.

Familiarity with cloud technologies and AI / ML-based platforms is a plus.

Familiarity with enterprise tech ecosystems (SAP, Salesforce, AI / Cloud) is a plus.

Excellent communication skills and a track record of managing global stakeholders.

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, Commerce or a related field.

Startup or high-growth environment experience strongly preferred.
