About the Role
As part of Sona's Customer team, which boasts over 40 talented individuals across Implementation, Support, Success, and Payroll, you'll be the first dedicated operations manager. This is a unique opportunity to create a strong operational foundation from the ground up.
You will collaborate with all four customer-facing teams to develop standard processes, enhance reporting and data infrastructure, and establish resource planning frameworks. Working directly with the VP of Customer and team Directors, your mission will be to transform operational gaps into systematic, repeatable workflows.
This role goes beyond optimization; there are no existing processes to follow, and you'll be tasked with defining operational excellence and building trust within teams that have not had a dedicated operations partner. You'll lead cross-functional projects that customer-facing staff cannot prioritize amidst their daily responsibilities.
You will also work hand-in-hand with teams across Sales, Product, and Finance to facilitate seamless information flow across the organization. If you thrive in ambiguous situations, enjoy creating order from chaos, and want to make a measurable impact in a high-growth environment, this position is for you.
