Strategy & Operations, Applied AI

Intapp•New York, NY

About The Position

We're looking for a strategic operator who thrives at the intersection of execution and executive communication. As a member of our Strategy & Operations team supporting our Applied AI organization, you'll be the connective tissue that keeps leadership informed, cross-functional work moving, and teams accountable to their commitments. In this role, you'll own the operational heartbeat of the organization — building and maintaining executive reporting, driving alignment across engineering, product, finance, HR, and talent acquisition, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. You'll translate complex, ground-level activity into crisp, actionable updates for C-level leadership while simultaneously rolling up your sleeves to resolve the operational and communication gaps that slow teams down.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or advanced degree in engineering, computer science, business operations, or a related field
8–12 years of experience in operations, R&D management, or a related function — with demonstrated experience managing complex, cross-functional programs
Exceptional communication and leadership skills — you can present confidently to a CFO in the morning and work through a hiring calibration with an engineering manager in the afternoon
Proven ability to build and maintain executive-level reporting, with a sharp instinct for what C-level leadership needs to make informed decisions
Strong follow-through and accountability — you track open items, hold teams to commitments, and close loops consistently
Experience partnering with talent acquisition on technical hiring; you know what strong looks like and can help others calibrate
Familiarity with SaaS and enterprise software products and the teams that build them
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple competing priorities in a fast-moving environment

Nice To Haves

Exposure to professional services industries — legal, accounting, consulting, or financial services
Experience with program or project management tools and executive reporting frameworks

Responsibilities

Own the operational rhythm — maintaining a comprehensive, current view of all active projects, commitments, and deliverables across teams
Build, maintain, and deliver regular reports and briefings for C-level leadership, covering project status, headcount, risks, milestones, and decisions requiring executive input
Follow up consistently and proactively on open deliverables — ensuring teams meet commitments, escalating blockers before they become problems, and closing loops without being asked twice
Serve as the primary operational liaison between the team and executive leadership — translating ground-level activity into concise, accurate, and actionable updates
Establish and continuously improve internal processes, reporting frameworks, and governance structures that give leadership reliable visibility into center performance
Identify execution or communication gaps early and drive the right people to resolution
Demonstrate strong leadership and communication skills across all levels of the organization — from individual contributors to the C-suite — adapting your approach to each audience without changing your message
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders of all kinds — engineering, product, finance, HR, and talent acquisition — to align priorities, surface dependencies, and keep work moving
Facilitate cross-functional meetings: set clear agendas, drive productive discussions, capture decisions, and own follow-through on every action item
Act as a trusted operational partner to leadership, providing the information and structure they need to make good decisions quickly
Maintain strong working relationships across the organization and communicate with equal clarity whether you’re in a board-level briefing or a team standup
