Operations Manager, Business Systems and Integration

The Plexus GroupeEla Township, IL
$90,000 - $125,000Hybrid

About The Position

The Operations Manager, Business Systems and Integration connects leadership with the practice and department teams. Leadership sets the direction; the teams carrying it out shape how the work gets done. This role links these parties, keeping them aligned so that no group works in isolation. The role does not tell departments how to run their areas. It owns the handoffs, the shared priorities, and the work that falls between organizational lines. By giving every level a genuine voice and reflecting that input in how the firm moves forward, this role builds trust, ownership, and a culture where continuous improvement is not a project; it is how we operate. Reporting directly to the President and Chief Strategy Officer, this is a high-visibility position with a clear path to evolve into an elevated operations role as the function and the individual grow. It is built for a candidate who thinks in both systems and people, who is energized by making a growing business run better, and who wants to grow into an executive role at a firm investing heavily in its future.
