Own the implementation of cross-functional, project-based operational initiatives that move the needle at a company level.

Requirements
6+ years in operations leadership at a real operational company — ideally a high-growth marketplace, logistics, food-tech, fintech, or B2B SaaS serving SMB customers. Candidates should come from a company with a recognizable growth story: we want to see that you've scaled something, not just managed it.
On-demand delivery or restaurant-tech experience is a strong plus.
Bachelor's degree or higher.
Proven track record building operational functions from scratch or from chaos — with evidence: playbooks, systems, metrics, before-and-after. Not just "I led ops."
Strong systems and process thinking; comfortable defining SLAs, metrics, and accountability models and holding others to them.
Hands-on SQL knowledge — you read the data yourself, you don't wait for someone to pull it.
Demonstrated agent and automation building — you can show something you've built: a bot, a workflow, an AI-powered process. Not theoretical interest; actual output.
Thrives in chaos — you operate effectively when priorities shift daily, problems are ambiguous, and pressure is high. You don't firefight indefinitely; you turn recurring chaos into documented systems.
A service mindset — operational companies are pulled toward serving customers. You build engines that deliver that service at scale.
Excellent stakeholder management; credible as the single point of contact for executives, partners, and internal teams.
Experience working with Israeli startup culture, or a clear demonstrated ability to operate in a fast-moving, direct, low-hierarchy environment.
