You’ll help translate ambiguous requirements into clear processes, build scalable workflows, improve operational visibility, and partner with teams across Product, Engineering, Client Strategy, Sales Ops, RevTech, BI, and external partners.
You’ll act as a bridge between external partners, internal systems, and cross-functional teams, turning complex operational requirements into clear workflows, better tooling, and reliable execution.
What You’ll Accomplish
- Lead and improve end-to-end operational workflows for emerging product initiatives, including intake, tracking, issue resolution, launch readiness, and post-launch support
- Translate external partner requirements and internal product constraints into clear processes, system updates, documentation, and stakeholder guidance
- Maintain source-of-truth trackers, dashboards, and reporting across tools such as Salesforce, Google Sheets, Looker, and internal systems
- Partner with RevTech, Sales Ops, Product, Engineering, and BI to improve workflows, automation, reporting, and operational tooling
- Build and maintain lightweight automations using tools like Zapier, Salesforce, Google Sheets, or similar systems to reduce manual work and improve accuracy
- Identify and troubleshoot operational breakdowns across tooling, data, automations, and cross-functional handoffs, partnering with technical teams to drive fixes
- Support customer-impacting launches, migrations, and escalations by coordinating timelines, surfacing risks, and keeping stakeholders aligned
- Serve as an escalation point for complex operational questions, partner delays, process gaps, and ambiguous edge cases
- Document new and evolving workflows, maintain internal and external-facing process guides, and train teammates on repeatable processes
- Build team resiliency by documenting institutional knowledge, improving handoff readiness, and training teammates on critical workflows and tools
Your Expertise
- 4+ years of experience in operations, technical operations, program management, business operations, customer operations, strategy, or a related role
- Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple operational workstreams with minimal guidance
- Excellent communicator who can adapt across technical teams, customer-facing teams, external partners, and leadership, including during escalations and high-stakes situations
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Sales Ops, RevTech, BI, Client Strategy, and external partners
- Analytical and systems-minded, with experience using tools such as Salesforce, Looker, Excel, Google Sheets, SQL, Zapier, Datadog, or similar platforms
- Able to create structure in ambiguity, define requirements, and turn manual or inconsistent workflows into repeatable processes
- Comfortable documenting processes, training teammates, and acting as a subject-matter expert for specialized workflows
- Self-starter who takes ownership, proactively flags risks, and looks for opportunities to improve operational quality and scalability

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
