🚀 Head of Business Operations

📍 Los Angeles County, CA

💼 Full-time | On-site

Company Overview

My client is a cutting-edge hardware startup at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and defense tech, seeking a Business Operations leader to support their rapidly growing team.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in dynamic, early-stage environments and knows how to design systems that keep a company moving fast while also building long-term durability.

Responsibilities

  • Design and improve operational systems, processes, and policies to support rapid scaling.
  • Partner with executives on strategic planning, budgeting, and company-wide decision-making.
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives requiring alignment across technical and commercial teams.
  • Oversee compliance programs and regulatory obligations in highly regulated environments.
  • Develop vendor strategies, negotiate long-term contracts, and manage procurement workflows.
  • Manage facilities operations, leases, and workspace planning to support team growth.
  • Build dashboards and reporting tools that provide leadership with real-time visibility into KPIs and resource allocation.
  • Support proposal preparation, milestone tracking, and external reporting for complex programs.
  • Introduce new tools and workflows to improve day-to-day team productivity and knowledge sharing.
  • Collaborate with People / HR teams on processes that impact culture, employee experience, and retention.

Qualifications

Required :

  • 10+ years leading business operations or strategy in aerospace, defense, or other complex hardware / deep-tech startup environments (excluding pure SaaS).
  • Deep experience designing scalable systems, processes, and tools for rapid headcount growth.
  • Experience running planning cycles, goal-setting frameworks (OKRs or similar), or performance tracking.
  • Ability to design and maintain dashboards that turn KPIs into clear, data-driven recommendations for leadership.
  • Strong understanding of compliance, risk management, and regulatory requirements in technical industries.
  • Experienced in vendor management, supply chain strategy, and contract negotiations.
  • Systems-thinking mindset with strong execution skills; high-energy, results-driven in fast-changing, ambiguous startup environments.
  • Motivated by the challenge and impact of working in mission-driven, regulated environments.

    • Desired :

  • Strong exposure to government programs and contracts in highly regulated industries (e.g. export controls, ITAR).
  • Experience contributing to proposals, bids, or capture efforts for government programs.

    • 🌟 If you’re craving real ownership in a fast-paced startup environment, apply now! 🌟
