About the role

Screencastify is in hyper-growth mode. Over the past year, we’ve put many foundational pieces in place to help us maintain and accelerate that growth. We’re looking for our first Chief Operating Officer to steward this process, build out the components of a new operations team, and proactively predict future roadblocks and opportunities.

Why is this role special?

1. You’re in control. The future of the operations functions at Screencastify will follow your vision. You’ll work closely with the CEO, who will help guide you as you execute it. But ultimately, this is your show!
2. You’re set up for success. You’ll be joining a company full of people who are acutely aware of (and excited about!) how much easier you’ll make their jobs. So you’ll have all the support you’ll need.
3. You’ll be boarding a rocketship. Screencastify has experienced meteoric growth over the past year. If done well, you’ll play a critical role in setting our sights away from the moon and towards Mars.
4. Join us at a magical time. We're bootstrapped, profitable, and support tens of millions of users, which gives us a huge green field to work with. You'll join at the perfect time to shape how we grow from here.

• Manage the quarterly and annual budgeting process and P&L responsibilities.
• Develop a planning and execution framework around our company OKRs and design scalable processes for tracking and reporting progress toward goals.
• Hire, develop, and mentor team members with the goal of continuously improving scalability, operational consistency, and speed-to-market.
• Conduct discovery around our company tech stack and identify opportunities for consolidating, augmenting, or streamlining our existing tool kit.
• You are comfortable spending time developing strategy as well as be “in the trenches” with the team as needed.

• Have 10+ years of experience in an operational leadership role, ideally within a SaaS or consumer web product
• Have experience building, managing, and developing a multidisciplinary team from an early stage
• Are comfortable working with complex data sets and business intelligence tools (i.e., Mode, Segment, Tableau, Periscope
