Strategic Operations Manager
Drive CB Insights' growth as an integral member of our business operations team.
Why is this role important?
We are growing rapidly without burning money, but we need a highly talented individual to make sure we keep it that way. This person will be integral in areas of priority for CBI’s growth trajectory, and will report directly to our VP of Finance and work on special projects across our organization.
We are seeking an analytical, creative, detail-oriented and financial minded person to join our Operations department. If you are entrepreneurial minded and one day want to start your own business, this job will give you the skills and know how.
You are the right person if you:
- Are a deeply motivated self-starter with an can-do attitude
- Have the desire to work cross functionally; in a job well done, you will know everyone at the company in this role
- Remain steady amid a fast changing environment
- Like to roll up your sleeves and get the job done, whatever the job may entail
- Dig everything from Excel to vendor negotiation to finance
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead key vendor relationships and negotiations
- Own all aspects of customer and vendor procurement
- Responsible for sales cycle including accounts receivable and collections
- Review contract terms and collaborate with outsourced legal, when necessary
- Establish best practices and share across organization to “keep the trains moving”
- Support all varieties of due diligence
- Responsible for internal contract clean up
- Oversee general financial and operational support across key business functions
- Get hands dirty in everything from finance to engineering to product to sales to reporting to whatever needs to get done (yup, this is operations)
Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience delivering solutions in business, operations and technology
- Strong academic record, J.D. preferred or relevant experience
- Experience reviewing and marking up complex contracts (if the word “indemnification” is unfamiliar to you, this probably isn’t the right role)
- Excellent Excel and negotiation skills
- Impeccable attention to detail
