Role Description
The VP of Operations serves as the operational leader and strategic partner across the Chairman's portfolio of businesses, investments, and new ventures. This role owns the execution engine that translates vision into outcomes—building systems, driving accountability, and ensuring velocity across all initiatives. The VP of Operations will lead complex multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end, architect operational infrastructure, and maintain the high-urgency operating cadence required to scale multiple ventures simultaneously.
This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for driving AI-enabled initiatives from concept through deployment. The ideal candidate has run operations at a software development firm or digital agency and is ready for broader strategic scope. They bring strong technical fluency, experience implementing AI-enabled workflows, and the confidence to hold senior contributors accountable. This role also includes oversight of executive scheduling and time management to protect the Chairman's capacity for highest-impact work.
It is ideal for a builder and operator who thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments—someone who navigates ambiguity with confidence, creates structure where none exists, and brings relentless execution discipline to every initiative.
Qualifications
• 7-12 years of operational leadership experience, ideally as a COO, VP of Operations, Development Manager, or senior technical leader at a software development firm, digital agency, or technology company.
• Demonstrated experience building and implementing AI workflows, automation systems, or AI-enabled operational tools—not just experimentation or prompt usage.
• Track record of building operational systems and processes that scale.
• Experience managing cross-functional teams and holding senior contributors accountable.
• Strong technical fluency—comfortable working alongside engineers and evaluating technical approaches.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with executive presence.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage complex workflows across many concurrent initiatives.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to synthesize complexity quickly.
• High integrity, emotional intelligence, and discretion.
Requirements
• Experience as a Chief of Staff or in close operational partnership with a founder, CEO, or principal.
• Background in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with shifting priorities.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Science, Computer Science, or related field; advanced degree a plus.
• Advanced proficiency in productivity platforms, project management tools, and modern collaboration software.
