About the role

We are looking for a high-caliber Business Operations Manager to join our team, reporting to the CEO.
Sitting at the intersection of strategy, product execution, and go-to-market initiatives, you will act as an internal consultant and strategic quarterback.
You will frequently work across engineering, data science, and business development to align priorities, and frequently driving major initiatives.

Lead complex, cross-functional special projects from concept to execution (e.g., evaluating new market entry strategies, optimizing customer onboarding pipelines, or structuring commercial pricing frameworks).
Build the quantitative models, dashboards, and frameworks necessary to track company-wide KPIs and evaluate new business opportunities.
Serve as the connective tissue between technical AI/ML engineering teams, product managers, and commercial leads to drive alignment on high-priority company objectives.
Audit existing startup processes, identify bottlenecks, and design highly efficient, scalable workflows that allow our operations to keep pace with our technical scaling.

3-5+ years of experience in analytically rigorous and execution-oriented roles, such as strategy, operations, consulting, product, or investing in the energy field.
Strong quantitative and analytical skills, including experience with financial modeling, data analysis, dashboards, KPIs, or operational analytics.
Experience working closely with technical teams (AI/ML, software engineering, data science) and translating between technical and commercial stakeholders.
Ability to operate in ambiguity and independently drive complex cross-functional initiatives from concept to execution.
Strong organizational and project management skills, with demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously.
Customer-facing and relationship-building experience, particularly in enterprise or B2B settings.
Exceptional attention to detail combined with a relentless bias for action. You don't just wait for a playbook
you build it.

Familiarity with power markets, renewable energy, battery storage, energy trading, or AI-enabled software platforms.
Experience in high-growth environments or startups.
MBA from a top-tier business school is a plus.
