Senior Staff Operations Manager, Applied Data & Insights

As the Senior Staff Operations Manager for ADI, you will drive the way we plan, deliver, and partner inside our organization and across the company.

This role requires a versatile, Chief-of-Staff–like operator who works through prioritization and trade-offs across multiple leaders and cross-functional partners. You are an excellent communicator and well versed in managing stakeholder communications and expectations.You have a track record of translating complexity into clear processes, building credibility with data and analytics leaders, and knowing when to push, when to align, and when to escalate. You are comfortable navigating a changing business environment and thrive in a role where the operating model is still being built.

This is a hybrid role working from our New York City office 3 days per week. You will report to the Senior Director of Operations to ensure alignment with operational standards, consistency across teams, and company-wide best practices, while maintaining a dotted-line relationship to the VP of ADI.

Codify the ADI operating model (engagement models, decision rights, and standard operating procedures) across teams and standardize practices where relevant.

Partner with the ADI Leadership Team to identify, prioritize, and resource critical projects through bi-annual planning cycles; drive alignment on prioritization, support preparation for executive reviews, and ensure communication is clear and consistent throughout.

Partner with Finance and People on headcount planning, budget management, hiring consistency, org design, onboarding, and review cycles across ADI teams; foster strong relationships and facilitate collaboration across Finance, Marketing, Product, Engineering, and other departments.

Partner with Data Product Manager and other leaders to support vendor and tooling governance for the organization, including evaluation, contracting, and lifecycle management of data and analytics tools.
