The Role

This is not your typical ops role. We're looking for someone to take full ownership of the operational engine behind a fast-growing, mission-driven education business. You'll oversee and improve the systems that sit at the heart of our company, including student-counselor matching, global counselor recruitment, customer support escalations, CRM workflows, and the launch of new products and services. This role is about more than maintaining operations. It's about scaling them. You'll design and lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that directly impact our students' outcomes and our counselors' success. You'll be the go-to person for making sure every operational piece fits together, from backend automation to human interactions. You'll work directly with the founders and collaborate closely with leaders across sales, marketing, product, and technology. Your work will touch every part of the customer journey, and you'll play a critical role in helping us scale our infrastructure and deliver a best-in-class experience at every step.

This is a hybrid role based in NYC, with a few days per week in our Midtown Manhattan office.
