Our client is a high-growth, mission-driven digital marketplace transforming how consumers compare and purchase insurance across pet, travel, renters, auto, life, and additional categories. Growing rapidly, the company operates as a sophisticated performance engine—leveraging SEO, conversion rate optimization, affiliate partnerships, and performance marketing to drive qualified demand at scale. As the business expands into adjacent financial products and broader consumer financial solutions, they are seeking a Business Operations Manager to help architect the operational infrastructure required for disciplined, scalable growth.
This is a high-visibility, execution-critical role reporting directly to the Co-Founders. The Business Operations Manager will sit at the operational center of the organization—ensuring projects ship on time, vendor performance is tightly managed, reporting is decision-grade, and internal systems scale alongside revenue growth. This role offers three compelling career accelerators: direct founder partnership in a rapidly scaling business, ownership over cross-functional operational rigor in a performance-driven environment, and the opportunity to architect the systems that enable expansion from mid/high 7-figures toward 8–9 figures in revenue. For an operator who thrives in high-accountability environments and enjoys turning complexity into structure, this is a meaningful ownership opportunity with enterprise-level impact.
Position Responsibilities
• Establish operational clarity across initiatives by defining prioritization, timelines, ownership, and measurable outcomes to ensure leadership has real-time visibility into execution progress.
• Replace informal coordination with structured execution frameworks that drive on-time delivery without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Serve as the operational bridge between leadership and outsourced web development partners—translating revenue priorities into clear roadmaps and holding vendors accountable to KPIs, quality standards, and delivery timelines.
• Proactively identify execution risks that could impact traffic, conversion performance, partner relationships, or revenue outcomes.
• Own the integrity of business reporting across traffic, lead flow, funnel performance, affiliate revenue, and partner economics—ensuring leadership decisions are grounded in reconciled, trustworthy data.
• Design and implement scalable dashboards and executive-level reporting frameworks that surface trends, anomalies, and operational inefficiencies.
• Architect and refine internal workflows and SOPs across content publishing, affiliate tracking, compliance, partner onboarding, and product launches.
• Reduce manual processes and recurring operational friction by evaluating and implementing appropriate systems and tools.
• Support evaluation and launch of new affiliate and distribution partnerships by modeling operational requirements, revenue implications, and execution benchmarks prior to go-live.
• Ensure operational infrastructure can support expansion into new insurance categories and adjacent financial products without breakdown.
Position Qualifications
Required:
• Demonstrated track record of building operational rigor and improving execution performance inside a digital, revenue-driven business.
• 3–7+ years of progressive experience in business operations, project management, marketplace operations, or similar execution-heavy roles within affiliate, marketplace, lead generation, SaaS, DTC, or digital media environments.
• Proven experience working with KPIs, dashboards, and performance analytics, with fluency in traffic, conversion funnels, and affiliate revenue mechanics.
• Experience managing external agencies or technical vendors and holding partners accountable to measurable outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to build SOPs, refine workflows, and scale operational systems during periods of accelerated growth.
• Comfortable operating in founder-led, fast-paced environments where ownership and accountability are expected.
• High integrity and alignment with privacy-first, consumer-advocacy values.
Preferred:
• Experience in insurance, fintech, financial comparison platforms, or affiliate marketing ecosystems.
• Familiarity with paid search, SEO, CRO, and marketplace optimization workflows.
• Experience scaling digital businesses from mid/high 7-figure revenue toward 8–9 figures.
