About the Role
At Watney, the Business Operations Lead is the generalist who takes cross-functional work off the plate of technical staff - vendor contracts, site leases, logistics - so engineers spend their time on engineering.
Right now that work runs through whoever's closest. You'd own the work that currently falls to whoever has time - without a fixed job description waiting for you.
What You’ll Do
- Build the foundational operating processes including vendor management, site leasing, and spend.
- Take ad hoc vendor, contract, and logistics work off engineering and technicians.
- Own cross-functional projects that don't have a natural home in one team.
You May Be a Good Fit If You
- Have operated as a generalist inside a small, fast-moving company.
- Have owned vendor contracts, site leases, or cross-functional projects with real ambiguity in scope.
- Can pick up a problem with no clear owner and drive it to resolution.
