The Copilot, Agents, and Platform (CAP) CTO organization is hiring a Business Manager to join its Executive Office. This role manages people, non-people, and discretionary budgets and provides reporting and insights that help leaders make informed workforce and investment decisions. It works closely with the Chief of Staff, CTO, leadership team, Finance, HR, Global Talent Acquisition, Procurement, engineering leaders, purchase-order owners, and administrative partners.
The role combines horizontal and vertical responsibilities. It contributes to CAP CTO financial governance, workforce practices, reporting, AI-enabled process improvement, and cross-team initiatives, while supporting aligned leadership teams with their workforce and budget portfolios. Day to day, the work moves between financial analysis, data reconciliation, leadership reporting, workforce and funding actions, partner problem-solving, and support for organizational transitions.
This opportunity is well suited to someone with strong financial and analytical judgment, exceptional organization and attention to detail, discretion with sensitive information, and the ability to create clarity when information is incomplete. Success means leaders have reliable workforce and budget information, risks and choices are communicated early, actions close on time, and recurring work becomes simpler and more scalable.
This role is based in Redmond, WA and is designated as an onsite position. While the formal requirement is a minimum of three days per week in the office, the team typically works onsite approximately four days per week, flexing based on business priorities, collaboration needs, customer engagements, and key milestones.

Responsibilities

The outcome is accurate workforce information, timely execution, and resources aligned to approved priorities.

The role manages funded headcount and position-number reconciliation, hiring and backfill plans, university and intern hiring inputs, transfers, mobility, location actions, workforce forecasts, and related system updates. It applies established CAP and corporate guidance, coordinates required approvals, and executes defined aspects of reorganizations, organization-design changes, workforce transfers, and resource reallocations through data preparation, workback plans, stakeholder coordination, system actions, and implementation tracking. The outcome is headcount that reflects approved plans and workforce changes that complete accurately and on time.

Tips for Your And Operations Planning Job Search
Quantify your planning accuracy metrics
Hiring managers in and operations planning want to see forecast accuracy rates, inventory turns, and on-time delivery improvements you drove. Pull those numbers from past performance reviews or system reports and put them on your resume before you apply.
Highlight S&OP cycle experience clearly

Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists and operations planning openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Match your tools to each job description
Planners are often screened by the specific tools they know. Tailor your resume to surface SAP IBP, Oracle, Kinaxis, or whichever platform the posting names, rather than listing every tool you have ever touched in a generic skills block.
Prepare for a case study or scenario round
Many and operations planning interviews include a take-home or live scenario where you analyze a demand spike, a supply constraint, or a capacity mismatch. Practice walking through your assumptions, trade-offs, and recommendations out loud before your interview.
Negotiate based on scope, not just title
Two and operations planning roles with the same title can differ widely in budget responsibility, geography covered, and team size. Before negotiating, ask about the planning horizon, SKU count, and cross-functional authority so you anchor your ask to the actual scope of work.
