Avalara is transforming tax compliance into a seamless, automated digital experience. Within our Micro & Emerging Business unit, we are building a unified self-serve compliance platform for small merchants and lodging operators by bringing DAVO and MyLodgeTax together.
As a Senior Program Manager, you will lead the cross-functional operations of this flagship initiative. You will drive alignment, accountability, and execution across dedicated engineering teams, central platform groups, business development, billing systems, and shared services. Reporting to Evan Wright (VP & GM, SMB Business), this role gives you startup-style agility and scope backed by the data, customers, and infrastructure of an established global SaaS leader.
Lead program delivery. Own the integrated plan, milestones, and critical path for the DAVO and MyLodgeTax consolidation, including the platform rebuild, customer migration, and security and compliance deadlines.
Run the cross-team operating model. Set up operating rhythms, dependency maps, and clear service agreements with engineering, central platform, business development, filing operations, and corporate systems teams.
Drive billing and systems work. Coordinate roadmaps and delivery for card and ACH checkout, self-serve pricing and quoting, HubSpot, ERP integrations, and the APIs underneath them.
Align partner integrations. Coordinate timelines across POS and property-management integrations, marketplace apps, and integration partners so customers can sign up and onboard without talking to sales.
Give executives clear visibility. Build dashboards tracking self-serve conversion, support volume, and acquisition economics, and write decision memos that make trade-offs easy to act on.
Modernize how programs run. Use AI tools for status updates, risk detection, and documentation, and help CPMO turn what works here into playbooks for the rest of Avalara.

Partner with Product and Growth teams to optimize the self-serve buying journey, conversion paths, digital onboarding, and activation funnels.
Develop compelling, merchant-centric messaging, landing pages, digital campaigns, and educational content that articulate the time-saving and compliance benefits of daily automated sales tax.

Tips for Your Remote Business Operations Specialist Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote business operations specialist openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through non-remote listings.
Prove your async communication skills upfront
Remote business operations specialists are evaluated on how clearly they write. Use your cover letter and application materials to show structured thinking, not just credentials. Concise, well-organized writing signals you can manage operations without real-time hand-holding.
Show your remote toolset on your resume
Remote employers screen for fluency with tools like Notion, Asana, Jira, Slack, and Google Workspace. List the platforms you've used in real operations work and briefly describe what you used them to accomplish, not just that you know them.
Target remote-first companies over hybrid postings
Companies built as fully remote organizations hire business operations specialists who can own workflows across distributed teams from day one. Their job postings, onboarding, and expectations are structured for remote work, making the transition smoother and the role more sustainable.
Remote Business Operations Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote business operations specialist job?
Remote employers hiring business operations specialists prioritize candidates who can manage workflows, communicate decisions in writing, and move projects forward without in-person oversight. Technology companies, SaaS firms, and distributed professional services teams are among the most active remote hirers for this role. Demonstrating experience with async collaboration tools, documenting processes clearly, and showing results you drove independently will give you a real edge over candidates without remote-specific proof.
Which companies hire remote business operations specialists?
Employers currently hiring remote business operations specialists include Avalara, Koalafi, and Symetri, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology companies, distributed healthcare organizations, and growing SaaS businesses represent the most consistent hiring sectors for this role.
Can you get a remote business operations specialist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal supervision. Remote-first startups and lean distributed teams are your best entry points. Showing project coordination examples, process documentation you've built, or operations support work from internships, freelance projects, or volunteer roles can substitute for a formal title on your resume.
Do you need a degree for remote business operations specialist jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers care more about demonstrated skills than credentials, particularly at companies where operations roles are defined by output rather than hierarchy. Proficiency with business tools like project management software, data reporting platforms, and workflow automation, combined with a clear record of improving processes, can carry more weight than a degree at remote-first organizations.
Which industries hire the most remote business operations specialists?
Most remote business operations specialist openings sit in Technology & Software, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams where operations specialists coordinate across time zones, making remote work a natural fit for the role.
