The messenger aggregator for business communications ChatApp is looking for an Operations Director to help us transform the current operational model into a scalable system capable of handling growth and ensuring predictable results.
ChatApp is a rapidly developing B2B SaaS platform that provides solutions for corporate communications: a single window for messengers, chatbots, newsletters, a scenario builder, and CRM integration. We help businesses automate customer communication and increase sales efficiency. The company is in an active growth phase: the team already has over 80 people. The company has offices in Stavropol, Almaty, and Moscow, with some employees working remotely.
Currently, the team needs not just an administrator, but a process architect — someone who sees the big picture, can lead the team to results, and take responsibility for building a growth-oriented system.
Key Tasks
Building and scaling the operational system:
- Develop and implement end-to-end operational processes that connect all departments: development, sales, support, marketing, administration and finance.
- Implement a regular management system: from setting plans and sprints to in-depth analysis of deviations and execution control.
- Develop and implement KPIs, OKRs, SLAs, and SOPs for all key functions.
Scaling the team and structure:
- Participate in shaping the company's organizational structure for new scales.
- Develop the management team; implement a system for performance evaluation and career growth.
Operational management:
- Ensure the efficiency of all business processes: clients, HR, marketing, sales, development.
- Manage resources and workload distribution among teams; coordinate team work.
Culture and leadership:
- Build a culture of responsibility, transparency, and results orientation.
- Implement a system of regular management and feedback.
- Prioritize product development based on customer feedback and market trends.
