As the COO, Payer you’ll dig in with our service operations leader, Payer CFO and GTM team to ensure that we are optimized to deliver or above customer expectations and world class cost points. You’ll collaborate closely with Customer success teams to vet and develop new offerings, gross margin targets and capacity constraints to drive profitable and sustainable growth. The impact our company will have on Payer customers and prospects under your leadership will be game-changing.
You will:
- Set the vision and path for operational excellence in Payer delivery.
- Lead and design our org strategy and design to optimize cost, retention and customer success.
- Deploy lean, Six sigma and continuous improvement methodologies to 10x performance relative to competitive alternatives.
- Recruit, develop, lead and inspire a high performing team
- Own the cost side of the Gross margin walk while partnering with the GTM team to ensure total gross margin exceeds targets and represents the margin expansion progress that will deliver the valuations we seek to capture.
What you will bring to the table:
- You are known as an exceptional builder and transformational leader yet you are also capable as an operator and optimizer
- You live in the GEMBA and walk the halls of customer workflows and partner processes.
- You listen to customers and convert their needs, pain points, and observations into processes that differentiate our total offerings
- You have demonstrated success in transforming operations, building high performance teams and amplifying GTM and strategic initiatives.
- You are one part visionary, one part execution and one part inspirational leader.
- You have appropriate respect and appreciation for the scale of the business today and the efforts to develop it, yet you are unafraid to make decisions to try to new things and place new bets
- You’re known for developing a world-class team and have champions and high followership across your past organizations
