Director of Operations role is one as much defined by ambiguity as a list of tasks and role responsibilities. Ambiguity is understandable and designed into this role. While it’s easy to define what a chief marketing officer is responsible for or a chief technology officer, defining “Operations” is nowhere near so simple. The Director of Operations and her role are defined by the candidate’s background, her vision for organization culture, the relationship with the CEO, and the size of her ambition.

This role is especially crucial to us, where the role will merge business operations (strategy, business growth, etc.) with technology operations.

A Partner for the CEO

At Finfare, the CEO is in charge of creating and directing vision and strategy. The Director of Operations should be his partner, directly working to act on and realize that vision and strategy. The roles of the CEO and this candidate are sometimes overlapped, but we define it with some ambiguity in a way that the CEO is “what” the Director of Operations is “how”.

In many ways, this means that the ideal candidate of this role for our organization is one whose skills and personality complement that of the CEO. So, if the CEO has ideas but no practical way to scale them, the Director would step in to scale. Or, if the CEO has experience with operations, the Director might operate as a business partner, sharing work and ideas in an early startup.

What does the Director of Operations do in our organization?

The role is responsible for creating operations and structure supporting the day-to-day delivery of your organization’s products and services. That typically means architecture, business processes, product development, support, team structure, etc. Our operations enable the sustainable creation and development of a software and data-centric product, meaning that operations are about structure, people management, customer support, product development, product management, and support. Here, it’s crucial that we see the entire organization as a product, which the role must oversee.

The Director of Operations is a strategist, an executor, and, to an extent, a jack of all trades. He or she should expect to take charge of operations and delivery, to work in interconnected roles with finance, business development, sales, account management, marketing, PR, HR, and IT, and to realize the CEO’s vision and strategy.

Operations provide the structure to deliver our software-oriented products in a timely manner and to a consistent standard of quality, even as we scale. It enables us to grow and develop new ideas and services.

Banking operation such compliance, risk management, customer support, vendor management, contract negotiation, are some of the key function. Bank or fintech experience are big experience.
