Director, Business Operations
Own and execute Range's highest-priority cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, bringing structure to ambiguity and driving execution across teams as the company scales its AI-powered wealth management platform.
About the job
What you’ll do with us
- Own the company's highest-priority cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, from ambiguous problem statement to delivered outcome and clean hand-off to a permanent functional owner.
- Create structure in ambiguous situations, turning vague mandates into scoped plans with clear milestones, owners, dependencies, and success metrics.
- Drive execution across multiple teams without formal authority, coordinating the right people to deliver on time and to spec.
- Bring analytical rigor to every initiative: using data to frame problems, evaluate options, build the business case, and measure impact.
- Keep functional leads and the executive team aligned on status, risks, trade-offs, and decisions across the organization.
- Establish the operating standards, templates, and playbooks that make Business Operations a repeatable, high-leverage engine as Range scales.
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Finance, Operations, Engineering, Compliance, Advisory, and member-facing teams to support strategic initiatives.
What will set you apart
- 10+ years of experience, ideally with top management consulting firm and/or business operations at a hypergrowth startup
- Undergraduate degree and MBA from top-tier universities
- Highly analytical, with the ability to use data to structure problems, build cases, and measure outcomes.
- A demonstrated talent for creating structure in ambiguous situations where the path isn't yet defined.
- Excellent project management skills and exceptional attention to detail.
- A high degree of ownership and a drive to deliver outcomes, measuring success by what ships, not by activity.
- Strong cross-functional influence, with the ability to mobilize teams you don't manage and keep senior stakeholders aligned.
- Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced startup environment with strong business judgment.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex, ambiguous problems into clear plans and crisp updates.
- Experience in a high-growth startup or scale-up environment, and exposure to wealth management, FinTech, or another regulated financial services context, strongly preferred.
