Business Operations Manager, Office of the CEO at Flexport

Flexport builds technology for global trade; companies use it to move more than $19B of goods across 112 countries a year. Join the Office of the CEO and work directly on Flexport's highest-priority problems alongside the CEO, the President, and the leaders who run our regions and modes of freight. You will pick up a mode or a region, ocean, air, trucking, omnichannel, or customs, and learn it from the inside by solving real problems in it.

Key responsibilities

• Own our biggest open questions end to end and come back with recommendations the CEO can act on
• Pull the data, build the model, find the error before someone else does
• Go to where the work happens, from warehouses and ports to a customer's supply chain team
• Run the operating cadence for a freight mode or region
• Get things unstuck, which often means finding the four people who need to agree and getting them in a room
• Use AI on everything and automate your own job as you learn it

Requirements

• 4 to 6 years in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, a high-growth operating role, or running your own company
• The ability to build a financial model from a blank sheet and defend every cell
• A track record of taking an ambiguous problem, doing the research, and turning it into a recommendation a senior leader can act on
• Relentless curiosity about how physical goods move
• Clear, short writing and the judgment to influence people more senior than you
• We operate in a heavily regulated industry and our regulators matter to us

Location and schedule

• Onsite in San Francisco, California
• You want to work remotely. You need to be in the room

US base salary $160,000 to $180,000 a year. Flexport also offers benefits; the full list is on the posting.
