Senior Strategy & Transformational Lead, Field Ops

About the Role

This role is the strategy and transformation partner to a FieldOps Lead Director who owns end-to-end operational delivery and stakeholder relationships for Delivery and B2B. While you will not run day-to-day operations, you will lead the transformation of how the function operates—diagnosing where the current model breaks, defining what needs to change, and driving those changes through to execution across teams, partners, and stakeholders.

1. Identifying structural gaps and inefficiencies in the current operating model
2. Defining clear priorities and what needs to change
3. Translating problems into concrete, sequenced execution plans
4. Driving delivery and alignment across global teams and cross-functional partners

02. Diagnose the most critical inefficiencies across cost, quality, and operating model (e.g., COE vs BPO, cost, support process flow, and footprint)
03. Identify root causes behind challenges, such as the quality of support and tech adoption, such as automation or AI
04. Translate complex problems into clear hypotheses, priorities, and solution paths
05. Design scalable, structural solutions and drive improvements in how the function operates (roles, governance, decision-making)
06. Translate Strategy into Execution
07. Translate strategic priorities coming from FieldOps — and from stakeholders (CX teams, Ops teams, etc.) — into clear execution plans
08. Convert ambiguous priorities into structured roadmaps, sequencing, and trade-offs - Drive alignment across regions and functions
09. Ensure initiatives move from idea to implementation
10. Drive Tech and AI Adoption in Operations
11. Identify, prioritize, and quantify the highest-impact automation and GenAI opportunities to drive measurable improvements in quality, speed operations, and cost
12. Partner with Product and Engineering to prioritize solutions
13. Own end-to-end rollout of tech from pilot to full-scale operations adoption
14. Ensure the tech readiness of the process and people
15. Create strong governance and continuous monitoring to ensure tools and AI systems meet high standards of accuracy and quality
16. Develop the Customer Insights Flywheel
17. Turn frontline operational signals into structured, high-quality insights
18. Identify recurring pain points, root causes, and systemic issues
19. Connect insights to business impact (cost, growth, risk, customer experience)
20. Ensure insights are effectively surfaced to CX, Product, and leadership teams
21. Build a repeatable model from observation to insight to action to impact
