[Hiring] Business Operations Manager @Powerline

Role Description

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 tackle ambiguous, high-impact business challenges, untangle complex operational bottlenecks, and design the workflows required to scale our platform globally.

This role requires a unique mix of rigorous quantitative analysis, strategic foresight, and exceptional relationship-building. You will frequently work across engineering, data science, and business development to align priorities, and frequently drive major initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• 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.
• Synthesize intricate technical and financial data into polished, high-impact narratives and presentations for leadership and board-level discussions.

Qualifications

• 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.
• 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.
• Experience working closely with technical teams (AI/ML, software engineering, data science) and translating between technical and commercial stakeholders.
• Exceptional attention to detail combined with a relentless bias for action. You don't just wait for a playbook; you build it.

Bonus

• 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.
