VP Platform Operations
VP of Platform Operations
Location: NYC, Atlanta, or Remote (EST or CST time zones preferred)
Salary: flexible, ~$200-250k plus equity
Client/Job Summary:
Our client is building a property management platform and is seeking a VP of Platform Operations to build and run the shared operating backbone.
The team is looking for a high-impact operator who can act as a true "engine for execution" across a growing, acquisition-driven platform. Rather than a pure integration specialist, they want a well-rounded business athlete who can take ambiguous, high-level priorities and translate them into structured work streams driving alignment, accountability, and results across back office functions, including operations, IT, systems, and field teams.
This position offers the chance to work on high-impact projects, drive efficiency across the business, and a path to COO as the company scales. We are looking for a builder-operator who has integrated messy businesses, made hard calls, and stayed to run what they built.
Ideal Candidate Qualifications:
- 12-18+ years of operating experience, ideally in a PE-backed, founder-led, acquisitive, or multi-site services business.
- Experience managing multiple back-office functions or functional leaders across areas like accounting, HR, IT, systems, shared services, or business operations.
- Experience with post-acquisition integration, including owning org design, people decisions, systems, process, and implementation.
- A track record of consolidating teams, workflows, vendors, systems, or geographies into a more scalable operating model.
- Enough technical fluency to personally drive system evaluation and implementation.
- Strong written communication and the discipline to document playbooks, decision logs, metrics, and operating cadences as the company scales.
