About the Role We’re looking for a smart, highly organized, and proactive Operations Coordinator to join our team and support the budgeting and financial operations of our hardware organization. This role sits at the intersection of hardware operations, budgeting, and cross-functional coordination. You’ll help keep multiple hardware budgets organized, accurate, consistent, and ready for planning and decision-making. You’ll work closely with budget owners, Finance partners, hardware teams, and business leaders to coordinate budget activities, resolve discrepancies, maintain accurate information, and ensure everyone has the information they need when they need it. We’re looking for someone who is naturally organized, comfortable working with data, and confident coordinating across teams. You should enjoy solving problems, asking thoughtful questions, identifying gaps, and bringing structure to complex processes. This is an individual contributor role with meaningful ownership. You’ll have the opportunity to become a trusted operational partner to the teams you support while helping improve how hardware budgeting is managed.

Operations & Process Management    - Establish and maintain consistent processes for hardware budget    coordination.    - Standardize templates, documentation, file structures, and operating    practices.    - Help teams follow established budgeting processes and timelines.    - Develop practical tools and documentation that make budget    coordination easier and more efficient.    - Identify process gaps and recommend improvements.    - Help create scalable, repeatable processes as the organization grows. Cross-Functional Coordination    - Serve as a central point of contact for hardware budget coordination.    - Work closely with Finance, budget owners, hardware teams, and business    stakeholders.    - Coordinate information and action items across multiple teams.    - Follow up proactively to keep activities moving and deadlines on track.    - Communicate issues, risks, and outstanding decisions clearly and    appropriately.    - Build strong relationships with stakeholders and become a trusted    operational partner.

Continuous Improvement    - Look for opportunities to simplify, automate, and improve budget    operations.    - Identify recurring problems and help develop solutions.    - Improve templates, workflows, documentation, and tracking mechanisms.    - Reduce unnecessary administrative work for budget owners and Finance    partners.    - Help establish better visibility, accountability, and consistency    across hardware budgeting activities. What We’re Looking For We’re looking for someone who takes ownership, thinks critically, and gets things done. You don't need to come from a traditional Finance background. You may have experience in operations, program coordination, finance operations, budgeting, or another environment where you've had to manage complex information and coordinate across teams.
