About The Position

Handoff is hiring a Business Ops Lead to serve as the executive arm of our COO and help translate leadership strategy into company-wide execution. In this role you'll own Handoff's operating system — from cycle planning and KPI dashboards to financial modeling, board materials, and high-priority special projects. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution, isn't fazed by ambiguity, and wants to operate at all levels of a fast-scaling startup.

Requirements

Background in investment banking, venture capital, consulting, or an early-stage startup
Comfortable operating at both the strategic and tactical level simultaneously — you can build a board deck in the morning and chase down a contract renewal in the afternoon
Financial modeling skills — you build from scratch, not just edit templates
Strong written communicator — your memos and decks are clear, tight, and ready to send
Experience in high-growth startup environments preferred
