Business Operations Manager, Office of the CEO

• Own our biggest open questions end to end and come back with recommendations the CEO can act on.

• Build the analysis yourself. Pull the data, build the model, find the error before someone else does.

• Go to where the work happens, from warehouses and ports to a customer's supply chain team. Opinions about freight formed in a conference room are usually wrong.

• Run the operating cadence for a freight mode or region. Weekly metrics, quarterly plan, and the follow-ups nobody wants to chase.

• Get things unstuck, which often means finding the four people who need to agree and getting them in a room.

• Use AI on everything and automate your own job as you learn it.

• 4 to 6 years in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, a high-growth operating role, or running your own company. Founders who shut it down are welcome. Tell us what broke.

• The ability to build a financial model from a blank sheet and defend every cell.

• A track record of taking an ambiguous problem, doing the research, and turning it into a recommendation a senior leader can act on.

• Relentless curiosity about how physical goods move. Freight is messy, old, and full of edge cases. That should sound interesting to you, not tedious.

• Clear, short writing and the judgment to influence people more senior than you.

• A compliance first attitude. We operate in a heavily regulated industry and our regulators matter to us.

• You want to stay in strategy. Every one of these seats is a path into an operating job.

• You need a fixed scope. The scope changes when the business changes.

• You want to work remotely. You need to be in the room.

• Direct exposure to the CEO and the executive team from week one.

• A real operating job at the end of it, not a vague promise.

• The fastest way we know to learn how global trade actually works.
