About the role
- We run a lean operations team that covers finance, people, legal, IT, and business operations for the entire company.
- This is a small team that punches well above its weight, and we use AI aggressively to stay that way.
- Administer our expense platform (Ramp), including program enforcement, policy compliance, and user management.
Responsibilities
- We don't have layers of management or detailed playbooks for every scenario - we figure things out, build the right system, and move on to the next problem.
- You'll thrive here if you like owning your work end-to-end and bringing your own structure to open-ended problems.
- As Senior Business Operations Manager, you'll own finance operations and financial planning across the company.
- You'll drive budget accountability with department leads, build the models that inform how we spend and grow, and manage the vendors and procurement processes that keep the business running efficiently.
- Own accounts receivable end-to-end, including billing, collections, and reconciliation.
- Manage accounts payable, including invoice processing and vendor payments.
- Own monthly budget reviews with department budget owners, driving variance analysis and accountability.
- Co-own the monthly finance review with our fractional CFO, surfacing trends, risks, and opportunities.
- Build and maintain financial models that support leadership decision-making and long-range planning.
- Own vendor evaluation, renewals, and ongoing relationship management across the company's vendor portfolio.
Nice to have
- 5-8 years of experience in business operations, finance operations, or FP&A - ideally at a company where you had to build the function, not just run it.
Compensation
- Own Brisk's compliance calendar - track annual renewals across state registrations, foreign qualifications, registered agent filings, business licenses, and sales tax permits, ensuring nothing lapses.
- Support annual and H2 planning cycles, including headcount modeling and opex forecasting.
