ABOUT THIS ROLE

We're hiring a Director of Business & People Operations to own the company’s operating infrastructure. That includes utilization and capacity planning, workforce planning, the operational inputs to margin, the delivery operating system, people operations, tool governance, and the AI systems that will run much of it on autopilot.

What you’ll walk into: We’re a bootstrapped, profitable 30-person agency on track for 76% revenue growth in 2026 and targeting 60% growth in 2027. We need an experienced operator to diagnose gaps, bring rigor, build systems, and fully own the function as we scale.

You'll report to the CEO, join the leadership team, and manage a Senior Recruiter and Business Operations Manager. You'll collaborate closely with the Financial Controller, Chief Growth Officer, Chief Customer Officer, and Client Success Directors.

AI is not a side project. We use ourselves as our own test client for AI-first workflows, and we expect this function to run on systems you build rather than hours people spend. We're looking for someone who has already done this inside an organization, not someone who has only explored or tinkered with it. More on that below.

We require this role to be based in US Eastern or Central Time.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own team utilization, capacity planning, and billability. Maintain the resource model tracking team capacity and hiring needs. Forecast capacity, flag staffing risks early, and automate routine reporting.
• Build and manage the workforce planning model. Serve as the central resource for headcount strategy, hiring schedules, progression paths, pay bands, and team economics to guide leadership's hiring, restructuring, and promotion decisions.
• Own the operational inputs to every financial conversation. Service line margin, staffing cost, time tracking accuracy, and project profitability run through you in partnership with our Financial Controller. Build the tooling that surfaces margin anomalies and flags scope creep while it's still fixable, and compress the reporting cycle from days to hours.
• Design and own the delivery operating system. SOPs, handoffs, onboarding, quality gates, and the Asana build for client work visibility

[…]

• Opportunity to participate in quarterly profit share program after 1 year of employment.
• Unlimited vacation - We trust you to take care of your work and communicate when you need time off. We recommend taking a minimum of 14 days a year.
• Learning and development stipend - $2,000 to spend on professional development after 1 year of employment.
• Free books program - We'll cover the cost of a Kindle and 1 Kindle book a month.
• Networking stipend - $50 per month to spend on coffee or lunch for professional networking.
• 100% remote flexibility - Work from wherever you want.
• Annual team offsites - We organize an annual team trip to get time together in person. Cities and countries we've been to include Boston, Austin, Chicago, San Diego, Costa Rica, Mexico City, and Belgrade, Serbia.

We require work hours to overlap at least 3 hours with US Eastern Time.
