Role Summary

Rowan Digital Infrastructure is seeking a Director, Business Operations to run Rowan’s external governance program.

They are comfortable with senior leaders and equity sponsors, write and edit with precision, work easily with data, and improve the process every cycle. Governance experience is a plus.
