Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Storm Ideas is an international, remote-first company working across media, technology, creativity, and operations for globally recognised entertainment clients. The Business Operations Manager will work with the Head of Operations to improve people, finance, tooling, processes, efficiency, and costs by building practical systems, automations, and operational improvements.
Responsibilities
- You'll work directly with the Head of Ops. Working directly together to drive things forward — no layers between you and the person who can say yes, we aim to operate with 0 bureaucracy and bloat (ultimately you will say yes yourself with the least amount of friction). Spot something worth fixing, make the case, make it happen
- You'll learn quickly. The remit cuts across the whole business — people, money, tooling, process — so you'll see how a company actually runs, and pick it up faster here than almost anywhere else
- You'll build things that stick. The automations, processes, and savings you deliver become how the company runs
- People operations. Contracts, onboarding, policies, and the day-to-day of employing people well — getting it right without drowning it in process
- Finance operations. Invoicing, expenses, payroll inputs, cashflow — keeping the numbers moving and noticing what they're telling us. No formal finance knowledge needed; being numerate and willing to dig in is what counts
- Efficiency and improvement. Finding the manual, the slow, and the duplicated — then killing it. We're AI-first: we build our own tooling and automations rather than waiting for someone else to
- Cost. SaaS, AI, and cloud billing — owning what we spend, finding the waste, and cutting it. We treat every line item as negotiable
- More junior: you run the day-to-day machinery under direction — finance processes, people ops, cost tracking, building the automations that make it all faster. Sharp, fast, hungry to take on more
- More senior: you own a remit and set the direction — people, finance, cost, tooling. You've carried this kind of breadth before
- An initial call with a member of the Operations team
- A compensated exercise to test skills relevant to the role(s)
- Final interview with another member of the team
Skills
- You're a high-agency doer who moves things
- You're comfortable owning ambiguity and you'd rather ship something rough and improve it than write a plan about shipping it later
- Handed a problem you haven't seen before, you take the initiative, work out the right answer, and deliver it
- You can read a contract, build a spreadsheet model, automate a workflow, and negotiate a renewal in the same week — and you're already using AI to move faster
- You might have built or run something of your own — a startup, a small business, a product, a team — or worked somewhere fast and high-growth where the scope was undefined and you liked it that way
- If you've been inside a startup or tech company before, even better — that's the mentality we run on
- No formal finance knowledge needed; being numerate and willing to dig in is what counts
Benefits
- Fully remote working from anywhere in Tunisia
- High-end, fast computer
- All the latest software and productivity tools you’ll need
- A compensated exercise to test skills relevant to the role(s)
