Head of Operations / VP Operations

Brooklyn, NY | Hybrid | $220-$225K Base + Growth Opportunity

We are partnering with a rapidly growing behavioral health organization seeking a senior operational leader to step in as the architect of scale.

This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives in building structure out of growth, aligning teams, and turning vision into repeatable systems. The organization is entering a major expansion phase and needs a strong operator who can bring clarity, accountability, and execution discipline.

The Opportunity

You will serve as the operational backbone of the organization, working directly with executive leadership to design and implement the systems that allow the company to scale sustainably.

This is not a maintenance role—it’s a build + transform + lead position.

You will be responsible for creating operational alignment across clinical and administrative teams while introducing frameworks that improve visibility, efficiency, and performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and scale end-to-end operational systems across multiple teams

• Implement structured operating rhythms (KPIs, dashboards, scorecards, meetings, accountability systems)

• Lead cross-functional execution across clinical, admin, and leadership teams

• Introduce or optimize EOS-style operating frameworks to improve organizational clarity

• Identify inefficiencies and redesign workflows for scale and consistency

• Partner with executive leadership on strategic planning and growth initiatives

• Develop leadership capability across departments and strengthen accountability structures

• Ensure high-quality service delivery while scaling operational capacity

Ideal Candidate Profile

We’re looking for a proven operator who has:

• Held a senior leadership role (VP Ops, COO, Director of Operations, etc.)

• Experience implementing EOS or similar operating systems/frameworks

• Built or scaled operations in healthcare, behavioral health, or multi-site services

• Strong track record of creating systems, not just managing them

• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution

• Exceptional leadership, communication, and organizational design skills

What Makes This Role Unique

• Direct influence on company strategy and scale trajectory

• Opportunity to build infrastructure from the ground up at a growth-stage organization

• High autonomy and executive-level visibility

• Mission-driven behavioral health environment

• Real ownership over operational design and performance systems

Compensation & Logistics

• $175,000 – $225,000 base salary

• Based in Brooklyn, NY (Hybrid model)

• Light travel required

• High-impact leadership role with significant growth potential

Who This Is For

This role is ideal for someone who naturally thinks in systems—someone who can walk into complexity, create structure, and leave behind a fully functioning operational engine.

If you’ve built operating rhythms, implemented EOS or similar frameworks, and led teams through scale phases, this is a rare opportunity to step into a defining leadership seat.

If you want, I can also:

• make a LinkedIn carousel version

• shorten it into a recruiter outreach message

• or tailor it to sound more luxury executive search / McKinsey-style / startup aggressive
