Business Operations Lead

Our BizOps team

The Business Operations team is building the future of the tools and processes we leverage internally to operate. The team leverages their technical, product, and project management expertise to enhance overall efficiency, laying the foundation for the entire organization’s success.

More concretely, problems and inefficiencies are brought to the team. We discover the problem, make sure it’s understood, and then evaluate the right technical answers to bring to this problem. It can range from building things completely in-house to leveraging low/no code tools, implementing Saas solutions and just building processes.
