Job description

TechWolf is on a hyper-growth journey and our recent $43 million Series B fundraise has just supercharged that! 🚀 We’re expanding fast, and as we scale globally, we need an Operations leader to build the central tech and operations backbone that will ensure smooth and efficient operations across the business.

As we enter this next phase of growth, the importance of a robust data & information architecture, an integrated and scalable enterprise tech stack, and efficient and seamless, automated processes has never been higher!

The Opportunity

Your role will be pivotal in ensuring operational excellence within the organisation, driving data-driven decision making and ensuring everyone has access to the information they need to operate at their best!

  • Oversee internal tooling and processes: Oversee the selection, implementation, and optimisation of new tools. Ensure seamless integration across all platforms, delivering value and efficiency across functions.

  • Manage data and operational metrics: develop and implement processes to ensure data integrity, accessibility and security, and ensure the organisation establishes knowledge management systems that allow the organisation to make data-driven decisions.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline workflows: drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimise processes across the company. Collaborate with functional leaders so that business systems and processes are scalable; and that it’s clear how users and teams can interact with our data, information and systems.

  • Build and lead a high-performing operations team: Hire, develop and lead a high-performing operations team, that will manage the company’s tech stack, data management and knowledge systems.
