Job description
Role Overview
We’re seeking a Director - level Operations person to support the SVP/GM of our Hybrid Cloud business. This role is designed for a strong operator-strategist who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys translating strategy into execution.
You’ll sit at the intersection of Hybrid & Multi-Cloud platforms, AI-driven data services, and Unstructured Data (Block, File, Object) - helping drive alignment, operating rigor, and momentum across product, engineering, GTM, and finance.
This is a high-visibility role with a clear path to broader leadership responsibilities. Not a note-taker or a traffic cop. More like the person who quietly makes sure the train arrives early.

- Drive follow-through on key decisions, priorities, and action items across teams

- Identify risks, dependencies, and gaps early—and help resolve them before they become escalations
Cross-Functional Initiative Management
- Program-manage strategic initiatives spanning Hybrid Cloud platforms, AI capabilities, and Unstructured Data services
- Coordinate across Product, Engineering, Cloud Ops, Sales, Marketing, and Services to ensure alignment and progress
- Help connect product roadmap GTM readiness customer outcomes
- Bring structure to ambiguity (and calm to chaos)
AI, Cloud & Data Platform Support
- Assist in aligning AI strategy with data platform capabilities (unstructured data pipelines, metadata, governance)
- Support execution of cloud-native services, subscription/consumption models, and platform integrations
- Stay current on market trends in AI infrastructure, hybrid cloud, and data services to inform planning and messaging
Executive Communications & Leadership Enablement
- Prepare executive-ready materials : strategy decks, business reviews, decision memos, and internal updates
- Synthesize inputs from multiple stakeholders into clear, concise narratives
- Represent the SVP/GM in select meetings as a delegate and follow-up owner
- Ensure leadership messages land clearly across global teams
Operational Rigor & Continuous Improvement
- Help streamline processes, clarify ownership, and improve decision velocity
- Support org planning, headcount discussions, and operating model evolution Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and results
What You Bring
- 8–12 years of experience in business operations, strategy, product operations, consulting, or program leadership
- Exposure to Hybrid Cloud, Cloud Platforms, AI/ML, or Data Infrastructure environments
- Experience working closely with senior leaders in complex, matrixed organizations Proven ability to manage multiple initiatives with competing priorities
Skills & Attributes
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a bias toward execution
- Excellent written and verbal communication—clear, structured, and audience-aware
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-changing environments
- High EQ, sound judgment, and the ability to influence without formal authority Organized, detail-oriented, and relentlessly reliable (the “gets it done” reputation)
Why This Role
This role offers a front-row seat to how a modern Hybrid Cloud + AI + Unstructured Data business is built and scaled. You’ll work directly with senior leadership, gain deep exposure to strategy and execution, and develop a strong platform for future GM, product, or operations leadership roles.
In short: high trust, high impact, high learning curve
As required by the equal pay and transparency acts, the expected base salary for this position is: $190K to $250K. Expected on-target earnings: $243K to $315K
The expected pay is determined based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, depth of experience in the practice area.

Senior Level Business Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level business director job?
Employers at this level look for candidates who have owned significant P&L, led multi-functional teams through growth or transformation, and shaped strategy rather than just executed it. A strong record of stakeholder alignment, demonstrated business impact, and the ability to mentor and develop other leaders will set you apart from candidates who have only managed day-to-day operations.
Which companies hire senior level business directors?
Companies hiring senior level business directors right now include LANXESS, EPAM Systems, and HDR, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from large enterprises, private equity-backed firms, and high-growth companies that need experienced leaders to own a business unit, region, or major strategic initiative.
Are there remote senior level business director jobs?
Yes, though fully remote roles at this seniority are more selective than at lower levels. About 31% of senior level business director openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting employer demand for leaders who can drive results across distributed teams while still being available for executive-level collaboration and board visibility when required.
What makes a business director role senior level?
Senior level business director roles are defined by scope, ownership, and influence. Rather than managing a single team or function, senior directors typically oversee multiple lines of business or departments, hold accountability for measurable business outcomes, and are expected to develop other managers and directors beneath them. The role shapes direction, not just execution.
Which industries hire the most senior level business directors?
Senior level business director roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive demand because they operate at a scale and complexity that requires dedicated leadership to align cross-functional teams, manage large budgets, and translate corporate strategy into sustainable results.
