About The Position

About RYZE: The Director of Sales Operations is a strategic commercial leader who architects the operational infrastructure that powers Ryze’s retail and marketplace growth. This role owns the end-to-end commercial execution model — from channel strategy and demand planning to 3PL partnerships and performance management — ensuring the business scales efficiently and profitably. The Director is a key voice in shaping go-to-market decisions, bringing rigorous analytical thinking and operational discipline to executive-level conversations. This leader builds the systems, capabilities, and teams that allow the sales organization to perform at its highest level — and continuously raises the bar on what “good” looks like across execution, forecasting, and partner management. The Role:

• Demonstrated ability to influence senior and executive stakeholders and contribute meaningfully to strategic commercial decisions.
• Strong people leadership experience — able to hire, develop, and inspire a high-performing team.
• Advanced analytics capability — designs measurement frameworks and draws strategic insight, not just runs reports.
• Track record of driving operational transformation and process improvement at scale.
