VP of SaaSOps ($200K/year) - Remote Work

The VP of SaaSOps will manage a team of 5-15 Software SaaSOs Managers and ensure the team solves their daily challenges by removing blockers and managing constraints. It is expected that you will be monitoring the team’s daily and weekly performance using our proprietary tools.

The Vice President of SaaSOps ($200K/year) will be expected to ensure the availability, uptime and cost optimization of our high-quality products. You should have an always-on mentality, a passion for metrics-driven decisions, and a desire to execute drastically differentiated technical operations processes using cutting edge technologies.

You will be responsible for building out a globally dispersed technical operation using distributed teams and an ultra-efficient application hosting infrastructure. Your first priority will be to scale these activities – while continuing to meet tight, daily SLAs. Priority two will be to focus on longer-term planning to drive continuous improvement.
