Job description
Freebird is a 9-figure, founder-led consumer brand growing fast across DTC, Amazon, retail, and international markets. We’ve served over 1 million customers and scaled through world-class marketing, product, and execution. Now, we’re focused on leveling up our systems, structure, and operational discipline to go even bigger.
We’re hiring a Director of Business Operations & Strategic Execution — a senior operator to help run the machine, organize the chaos, and drive the next stage of scale.
This role reports directly to the COO and works closely with the CEO, acting as an operational quarterback and cross-functional integrator. You’ll bring structure, process, and executional horsepower to everything we do — from strategic planning to team coordination to project delivery.

🎯 Drive Strategic Planning & Execution
- Partner with leadership on quarterly and annual planning
- Translate company goals into actionable roadmaps, project plans, and execution frameworks

📦 Lead Project & Process Management
- Run mission-critical initiatives from end to end — from scoping through delivery
- Create visibility and momentum across the org with clean workflows and clear updates

🤝 Cross-Functional Collaboration & Clarity
- Act as the connective tissue across departments — ops, product, growth, CX, creative
- Improve team alignment, communication, and execution
- Ensure nothing falls through the cracks
📐 Optimize Team Structure & Execution
- Help define roles, responsibilities, and performance standards across teams
- Support hiring and onboarding processes to scale the team effectively

- Proven experience building and running operational systems in a high-growth environment
- Strong project and program management chops — you’ve shipped big things with cross-functional teams
- Comfortable leading through ambiguity and bringing structure to chaos
- Strategic thinker who can zoom out, and an operator who can dive in
