[Hiring] Director of Business Operations @Replicant

Role Description

As we scale, we're hiring a Director of Business Operations to align strategy and focused execution. Reporting to the CFO and partnering closely with the CEO and Executive Leadership Team, you'll own how we set priorities, make trade-offs and measure results, and lead the cross-functional work where the stakes are highest.

What You’ll Do

• Shape how the company runs
  • Own the operating system.
  • Design how Replicant sets priorities, tracks progress and makes trade-offs, from annual priority-setting and OKRs to business reviews and core operating metrics. Partner with FP&A so priorities and numbers stay in step.
  • Bring focus.
  • Make trade-offs explicit. When new work competes for people and time, frame the decision for leadership: the options, the cost, and what gets displaced.
  • Connect the plans.
  • Make sure functional goals, timelines and dependencies add up to one company plan, and stay aligned as priorities shift, working with FP&A to keep them tied to the budget.
• Lead high-stakes cross-functional work
  • Diagnose what's holding us back.
  • Find where execution breaks down across functions, and size the cost to growth, margin and customers.
  • Lead the fix.
  • Embed with functional leaders on focused strategic projects. Structure the problem, build the analysis, design the solution, and drive it to measurable results.
  • Take on company-level questions.
  • Lead the cross-functional work that shapes how we grow. For example, building clear visibility into customer time to value and what drives it, tying product investments into measurable outcomes after launch, pricing and packaging what we sell, and measuring the return on our AI investments.
• Raise the bar on decisions
  • Make data keep pace with decisions.
  • Partner with Data Engineering and Finance so leaders get reliable answers fast.
  • Prove impact.
  • Define how every change will be measured, and retire what doesn't move the number.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in business operations, strategy, consulting, or chief of staff roles, including time at a high-growth B2B SaaS or AI company.
• Structured problem solving: you take an ambiguous problem, find the root cause, and size it with data.
• Strategic judgment: you can tell which problems matter most to the business, and why.
• Executive presence: senior leaders trust your judgment, you push back with data, and you earn the mandate to lead change.
• Bias to finish. You measure success by adoption, not by the deck.
• Curiosity and facility with using AI to diagnose problems and automate workflows.
• Clear, concise communicator, comfortable presenting to executives.
• Builder mindset: you'll start as a team of one and grow the function as it proves its value.

Benefits

• In-person connection that counts: company-wide offsites and smaller team gatherings designed to make remote work feel personal.
• Tech & learning stipend: Conferences, books, courses — interested? We’ll fund them.
• Remote by design: We’re distributed — no guilt about life events, we trust you to manage your calendar.
• Health & wellness: Flexible vacations, paid sabbatical after 5 years, comprehensive benefits, plus a stipend to support your physical and mental well-being.
• Compensation that matches your impact: competitive salaries in the company you’re helping to build.
• Equity with upside: We believe in shared ownership—You’ll own a real piece of a fast-growing AI company.
