Remote Business Operations Manager jobs

8 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Business operations managers work on how a company runs across departments: planning, performance tracking and the fixing of processes that no single team owns. They often report to a chief operating officer or general manager and act as an internal problem-solver. They own things like the operating cadence, company metrics and special projects that span functions.

  • Investigate an operational problem with data and interviews, then propose and roll out a revised process.
  • Lead cross-functional projects such as a pricing change, a new market launch or a systems rollout.

  • Cross-functional project leadership

Doing this job remotely

The work is analysis, documents and meetings, all workable remotely. Its difficulty at a distance is influence: business operations depends on other teams' cooperation and on hearing about problems early, which takes deliberate relationship building. Proximity to the executive team's time zone is usually expected.

Where it comes from and where it leads

People commonly arrive from management consulting, finance, analytics or an operational role inside the company. The role leads to director of business operations, chief of staff, or general management of a business line.
