Internal Operations Lead

Prior Labs • New York City, NY

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Build and run the internal operations that let Prior Labs make the most of being part of SAP while staying independent and fast. You will own the internal-operations side of our SAP relationship: shaping how the two companies work together and building the processes that make it real.

Requirements

• Owned operational processes end to end at an early-stage company, building and running them yourself rather than directing a team.
• Shipped working, documented processes that a team adopted without hand-holding.
• Worked with a high growth tech company, managing large scale transformations (e.g. M&A) and shaped how its requirements landed so they worked well for both sides.
• Grasp unfamiliar context fast and reason through it to a decision you can talk through clearly and calmly.
• Reach for AI tools as your first move to go faster, not as a fallback.
• Consulting, project management, big tech, high growth startup background of at least 5+ years

Nice To Haves

• Operated across two or more of Finance, Compliance, HR, Legal, and Product Ops rather than specializing in one.
• Stood up automations or tooling that removed recurring manual work and let an Ops function scale without added headcount.
• Turned detailed compliance, legal, or vendor material into guides people actually followed.
• Worked with or alongside a large enterprise's internal systems (payroll, procurement, data protection, or similar at SAP scale).
• Managed operational projects across multiple geographies and timezones.

Responsibilities

• Partner with SAP on the operational side of joining a global company: understand what each requirement is for, shape how it is adopted, and make sure it fits how Prior Labs works.
• Map our operating needs onto SAP systems and build the processes that connect them, so we benefit from SAP's scale (global payroll, data protection, tooling) with a setup fit for a fast growing scale-up.
• Build and document the internal operations that run the company day to day across Finance, Compliance, HR, Legal, and Product Ops, designing workflows that work in Linear, Slack, and email.
• Translate SAP processes and requirements into clear internal guides and concrete steps the team can follow.
• Automate the repetitive operational work, reaching for LLMs and similar tools first, so the Ops function scales without headcount growing in step.
• Own cross-functional project management for the internal-operations side of the SAP relationship: plan and sequence the work, track commitments, deadlines, and dependencies across the wider Ops team and SAP counterparts, and drive each project to completion on both sides.

Benefits

• We believe the best products and teams come from a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. That's why we welcome applications from people of all identities and walks of life, especially anyone who's ever felt discouraged by "not checking every box."
