Director Of Business Operations

Director, Business Operations

Central New Jersey | Onsite | Full-Time

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer/CEO

A growing, entrepreneurial organization is seeking a Director of Business Operations to serve as a strategic and operational partner to the COO.

This is a true business operations role for a sharp, commercially minded generalist who can analyze complex business problems, make sound recommendations, and then drive execution across the organization.

For a high performer, the breadth of this role offers a strong trajectory toward broader VP Operations or COO-level responsibilities over time.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the COO on key business priorities and operational decisions.
• Lead complex, cross-functional initiatives from analysis through execution.
• Support acquisition integrations, new business units, and growth initiatives.
• Build and monitor KPIs, dashboards, and operating reviews.
• Analyze business performance and turn data into actionable recommendations.
• Improve processes, systems, accountability, and cross-functional execution.
• Evaluate initiatives using financial analysis, ROI, and business judgment.
• Help implement technology, automation, and AI-enabled improvements.

Must-Haves

• 5–10+ years in Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, Strategic Finance, Consulting, Corporate Strategy, M&A/Integration, or a true business-focused Chief of Staff role.
• Strong financial, analytical, and business acumen.
• Proven ownership of complex cross-functional initiatives—not simply project coordination.
• Experience with KPIs, operational reporting, and performance management.
• Ability to independently solve ambiguous business problems and drive measurable results.
• Bachelor’s degree required.

Nice-to-Haves

• MBA, CPA, or relevant advanced degree/certification.
• Investment banking, PE, consulting, corporate development, or M&A experience.
• Experience in a high-growth, entrepreneurial, founder-led, or PE-backed organization.
• Acquisition/integration experience.
• AI, automation, CRM, BI, or technology implementation experience.
