You are responsible for ensuring that the right governance infrastructure exists within the orgs you support, that commitments are tracked and reviewed, and that risks are surfaced to the BizOps Lead , and through them, to the CEO and Head of Strategy & Operations before they become crises. The purpose of this role is to drive operational excellence by improving business performance, establishing operating rhythms, analyzing business health, and ensuring cross-functional alignment.\nCore Responsibilities\nBusiness Partnership:Serve as the dedicated Business Operations partner to a defined portfolio of 2-3 organizational units, developing a deep understanding of each function's strategy, priorities, operating model, and leadership dynamics.

MBA or equivalent strongly preferred\nWhat Success Looks Like in Year One\nAssigned functional leaders view the BizOps Senior Manager as a trusted partner and proactively bring risks, blockers, and decisions to them\nWeekly reports for assigned orgs are consistently on time, complete, and decision-ready\nZero surprises at MBR - risks are surfaced and escalated before they reach the review table\nDashboards for assigned orgs are accurate, up-to-date, and actively used by functional leadership\nThe accountability system is genuinely embedded within assigned orgs - not treated as a compliance exercise\nGovernance forums are consistently well attended, action-oriented, and result in clear ownership, timely decisions, and measurable follow-through.\nClick here for the Recruitment Privacy Notice and Flutterwave Privacy Policy","description_format":"text","description_chars":5441,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T17:38:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.524,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":106,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/flutterwave-business-operations-partner","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/flutterwave-business-operations-partner.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T16:55:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25908,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":62327},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=62327"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fflutterwave-business-operations-partner"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fflutterwave-business-operations-partner"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fflutterwave-business-operations-partner"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/flutterwave-business-operations-partner\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fflutterwave-business-operations-partner"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":334111}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"flutterwave.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":334111},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
