Mission Lane is combining the power of data, technology, and exceptional service to pave a clear way forward for millions of people on the path to financial success. By attracting top talent and leveraging cutting-edge technology, we’re enabling people to unlock real financial progress. Sound like a mission you can get behind?

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Operations Transformation to own the strategy and execution behind Mission Lane's operations transformation work, in a newly created role reporting to the Sr. Director of Operations.

The impact you'll make

Every Mission Lane customer who reaches out to us is in the middle of something: a question, a situation to work through, a next step they're working toward. How well our contact center operations run determines how quickly our customers keep moving. You'll be the one who makes them run better, and better, and better again. This isn't maintenance work. You will build the next version of how Mission Lane runs, one improvement at a time.

As Senior Manager, Operations Transformation, you’ll have the scope and autonomy to size up where the operation has room to grow, whether through AI and automation, process redesign, or new ways of working. You’ll own the intent and execution end-to-end, shaping what the transformation work should accomplish and coordinating the people doing it.

You will

Prioritize the problems worth solving and size them for Mission Lane's context.
Evaluate vendors and solutions, and build the business case for the ones worth pursuing.
Sequence the work and partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, and vendors to move the work forward.
Deliver outcomes that matter, including cost, quality, and customer experience.
Establish the governance to sustain and improve the work.

You'll thrive in this role if

You've worked inside an operations function and understand what happens when a change creates second-order problems no one anticipated. You plan for that.
You have a strong problem solving skillset; you break down complex, ambiguous problems into consumable components, leveraging data and analytics.
You don't need a complete map to move. This path is genuinely new, and that's what's exciting about it.
You know how to hold cross-functional teams accountable without formal authority.
You're curious about new ways to improve how operations work, whether that's through technology, process, or team design, and that curiosity shows up in how you work.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience implementing or overseeing technology or process changes in an operations context, such as AI, automation, or workflow redesign
