About Bambee:

Bambee is an HR tech company providing HR services to small and medium-sized businesses. We are committed to delivering high-quality HR solutions and exceptional customer service. Our team is dedicated to making HR simpler and more accessible for our clients. At Bambee, we foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment where innovation, teamwork, and growth are highly valued. Ranked by Ink magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America in 2023, the Bambee team believes in hard work, rolling up their sleeves, being full-stack strategists (which means being able to prepare narratives for investors and board members while also diving into the tactical weeds of the business to discover opportunities), efficient communicators, and kind, transparent professionals.

As Director of Operations at Bambee, you’ll act as the right hand to the company’s Founder and CEO. Culturally, we pride ourselves on being less like a family and more like an Olympic sports team (Cliche’ but true)—continuously challenging one another, developing budding talent, and proudly curating some of the hardest-working, creative, and intelligent individuals you will ever work with. You will learn how to work at a rapid pace-while maintaining quality and analytical rigor, be pushed beyond your comfort zone, be developed and nurtured, while building completely new features and category-creating products and services for the small business market. Bambee has become a launchpad for aspiring leaders to launch great careers. If you are an optimist, always looking for a path to yes, and this description resonates with you, then you should apply.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be instrumental in ensuring key initiatives are delivered on time and meet their objectives from financial analysis to go to market plans. This role will be a crash course in what it’s like to operate a nimble, fluid and fast paced company, where you’ll work closely with senior executives, from the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, to other members of our invigorated, talented leadership team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Business Strategy: You’ll become the pace setter, working hand-in-hand with our Chief Executive Officer to ensure that the company maintains momentum and throughput in terms of building enterprise value and delivering software to our customers at a motivated pace and high-quality level.

• Go-to-Market Campaigns: Manage and coordinate go-to-market strategies and campaigns for new product launches, ensuring alignment with marketing, sales, and operational goals.
• Project Management: Oversee key projects and initiatives, ensuring timely delivery, budget adherence, and alignment with company objectives.
• Resource Allocation: Efficiently manage resources, including personnel and budgets, to optimize productivity and support business growth.
• Performance Metrics: Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to track operational performance and make data-driven decisions.
• Problem Solving & Jack of All Trades: Address operational challenges proactively, implementing solutions to minimize disruptions and maintain operational stability. You will be tasked with analyzing key areas of the business, crafting creative solutions, while continuously helping the company do more with less.

Qualifications:

• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in operations management, preferably within a software technology startup or similar fast-paced environment.
• Qualities and characteristics: you are linear thinker, a crisp and clear, written and verbal communicator. You’re comfortable being assertive while maintaining respect for your peers. You think objectively about how to ensure business success.
• Skills: Proven track record of streamlining systems, managing complex projects, and delivering on financial, operational, product management, and go-to-market initiatives.
• Entrepreneurial Spirit: Demonstrated ability to thrive in a startup environment, with a proactive and innovative approach to problem-solving.
• Organizational Excellence: Exceptional organizational skills, with a knack for turning chaos into order and driving efficiency.
• Leadership: Strong leadership abilities with experience in managing and developing teams.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree or MBA is a plus.. Frankly, our founder and CEO is a college dropout so if you fit the bill and didn’t go to college, then you should definitely apply.

What We Offer:

• Competitive Salary: $125k to $150k base compensation, depending on experience.
• Equity Options: stock options that’ll actually be worth something one day.
