Business Operations Manager
About Moab
Moab is building a modern, all-in-one software platform for equipment dealers & rental businesses.
The equipment dealer & rental market is a key part of the multi-trillion dollar construction, agriculture, and logistics industries, and is currently underserved by antiquated incumbent software solutions (most of which were founded in the 1980's and 1990's).
Our vision is to connect everyone who is selling, buying, renting, servicing, or utilizing equipment, starting with a new system-of-record for equipment rental businesses that will help our customers create efficiency in the back office and generate more revenue in the front office.
We’re a small team of energetic, dedicated, and passionate individuals. We value team members that can not only roll up their sleeves to do hands-on work, but also think clearly & creatively about the big picture. We seek new team members who are eager to dive in and collaborate with the rest of the team to drive impact for our customers and for the business. At Moab, you’ll find significant room for career growth, fostered by a meritocratic culture that prioritizes individual and team development.
About the role
The business operations manager helps to manage the end-to-end processes that enable Moab to roll out new product features to existing customers, onboard new customers, and manage existing customers. As part of the Business Operations team, we’re looking for an individual to help solve key cross-functional roadblocks, conduct reporting and analytics, and optimize every operational process at Moab.
As a business operations manager at an early stage start-up, you will have to balance speed vs process while supporting extremely aggressive goals related to growth and efficiency. This is the type of role where you’ll consistently have to do the job of someone two levels above you (e.g., meet with a CEO of a large business) and two levels below you (e.g., respond to customer support tickets). This role rewards do-ers.
