Senior Strategic Initiatives Director, Operations

Agility Robotics is a pioneer. Our robot, Digit, is the first to be sold into workplaces across the globe. Our team is differentiated by its expertise in imagining, engineering, and delivering robots with advanced mobility, dexterity, intelligence, and efficiency robots specifically designed to work alongside people, in spaces built for people. Every day, we break through engineering challenges and invent new solutions and capabilities that will one day make robots commonplace and approachable. This work is our passion and our responsibility : our mission is to make businesses more productive and people's lives more fulfilling.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Director, Strategic Operations Initiatives which is a high-impact leadership role responsible for driving operational alignment, executional excellence, and cross-functional initiatives in direct partnership with the Chief Finance and Operating Officer across various operations groups including, without limitation, manufacturing, supply chain, and facilities.

Acting as a trusted advisor and proxy to the CFOO, this role sits at the center of cross-functional execution bridging operations, strategy, and leadership and ensures the CFOO's focus is amplified across the organization.

You'll lead high-impact initiatives, manage the rhythm of business for the CFOO, and work across teams to ensure alignment, accountability, and operational clarity. In this fast-paced, scaling startup environment, you'll need to be both a strategic thinker and a hands-on operator, capable of diving into the weeds and zooming out to see the big picture.

About the Work

  • Partner closely with the CFOO to develop, manage, and execute strategic operational initiatives and business plans.
  • Act as an extension of the CFOO prioritizing time, decisions, and focus on what matters most.
  • Drive key strategic and operational initiatives across the company from planning and execution to reporting and follow-through.
  • Lead and support special projects (e.g., org design, OKRs, new process rollouts, post-fundraising scaling efforts).
  • Collaborate with cross-functional leaders to ensure seamless execution of priorities and resolve blockers early.
  • Own internal communications, dashboards, and updates that help keep teams informed and aligned.
  • Prepare content, materials, and insights for leadership meetings, investor updates, and board meetings.
  • Identify gaps in operational processes or decision-making and work proactively to close them.
  • Build scalable frameworks that help the company operate with clarity and speed as it grows.
  • Foster a culture of operational excellence, continuous improvement, and cross-functional accountability.

About You

  • 15+ years of progressive leadership experience in operations, strategy, consulting, or related fields.
  • Proven experience working closely with C-suite executives, ideally in a Chief of Staff or strategic operations capacity.
  • Strong analytical and business acumen; ability to synthesize data into actionable insights.
  • Exceptional communication, influence, and interpersonal skills.
  • Comfortable juggling multiple priorities, navigating ambiguity, and executing at both strategic and tactical levels.
  • Deep understanding of startup dynamics, operational complexity, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity.
  • Trusted thought partner who can challenge assumptions and elevate decisions.
  • Obsessed with clarity, speed, and impact with a bias toward action.
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA or advanced degree strongly preferred.
  • Agility Robotics is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunities and prohibits unlawful discriminatory practices, including harassment. Therefore, it is the policy of Agility Robotics to ensure equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law.
