About The Position

We are seeking a Data & Business Operations Project Manager to support Business Operations and data initiatives. This role requires an individual who is genuinely comfortable working directly within data environments, not just tracking deliverables or managing projects that involve data. The ideal candidate must be ready to roll up their sleeves, navigate cross-tokenized data systems, launch critical reporting, and maintain operational infrastructure to power executive decision-making. This role operates as a critical technical and operational contributor within the data and business operations ecosystem. While not positioned as a people manager, the role is expected to manage multiple complex data workstreams independently, track project milestones, maintain executive scorecards, and ensure seamless communication across cross-functional teams, technical data engineers, and commercial business leaders.

Requirements

10+ years of experience demonstrating a strong track record of independent strategic ownership and advanced data environment management.
Demonstrated hands-on experience working directly inside data environments and business intelligence tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, SQL, or equivalent data architectures).
Advanced proficiency with Smartsheet dashboarding, workflow automation, and Microsoft Office/Google Workspace tools (especially PowerPoint/Slides and Excel/Sheets).
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Data Analytics, Healthcare Administration, Project Management, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Adaptability & Start-Up Mentality: Thrives in a fast-paced environment with a start-up mindset; comfortable navigating ambiguity and maintaining high productivity even when definitive answers are not readily available.
Agile Execution: Demonstrates the ability to move forward decisively using the information at hand, making calculated assumptions to maintain project momentum rather than waiting for complete data sets.
Hands-on Data & BI Capabilities: Proven ability to work directly in complex, tokenized data structures and reporting environments, including a strong track record of independently querying, validating, and building your own BI views.
Advanced Smartsheet Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of Smartsheet, including constructing complex formulas, cross-sheet references, automated workflows, and executive-ready dashboards.
Strong project management fundamentals and discipline across multiple data and business operations initiatives.
Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills with a high attention to detail.
Collaborative, proactive, and capable of balancing high-level strategic thinking with deep technical execution.
Exceptional presentation and communication skills, with the ability to interface directly with Leadership and translate technical data concepts into commercial business impact.
