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.
