Director, Business Excellence and Operations Protecting the World’s Critical Infrastructure OPSWAT, a global leader in IT, OT, and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance.

Over the last 20 years, our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life. The Position OPSWAT is scaling, and the operating infrastructure needs to scale with it. We are hiring a Director, Business Excellence and Operations to serve as a trusted strategic partner to the CEO and CFO — owning the operating cadence, driving cross-functional accountability, and delivering the clarity and rigor that enable executive leaders to run a complex, high-growth business with confidence.

This role reports to the CFO and works closely with the CEO. It is an individual contributor role — there are no direct reports. Its leverage comes not from headcount but from influence, rigor, and the ability to drive cross-functional alignment and accountability at senior levels.

It operates across a wide aperture — strategy, operating execution, business intelligence, and high-priority special projects — moving fluidly between long-horizon strategy and hands-on execution as the situation demands. This is not a program manager who tracks work other people own. It is an operator with real accountability for how OPSWAT runs — someone who independently identifies what is broken, names it clearly, and drives it to a clean outcome.

The personality matters as much as the capability: we need someone with high energy, directness, and the confidence to surface difficult truths without waiting for permission. Ambitious, sharp, and collaborative is the target. What You'll Own Operating Cadence Performance Accountability Own the rhythm of how OPSWAT runs.

Design and drive the operating review structure across the company, establishing operating cadences, governance models, and execution frameworks that drive cross-functional accountability and enable sustainable results. This spans business reviews, QBRs, planning, and the day-to-day operating cadence, ensuring every function is held to its commitments consistently, not just once a quarter. This means designing the reviews, following through on action items, and course-correcting when something goes off track.

Operational Intelligence Partner with FP A, Enterprise Applications and Business Intelligence, and business functions to ensure operating reviews and leadership discussions are grounded in decision-ready intelligence — not reporting for its own sake. You contribute to, challenge, and leverage the KPI framework, and play a key role in determining what is surfaced at operating reviews and how it is framed for leadership. Proactively identify risks and surface critical trade-offs, equipping the CEO and CFO with the analysis they need to make well-informed, timely decisions.

Operational Efficiency Scaling Design and implement scalable operational solutions by identifying organizational bottlenecks, process inefficiencies, and execution gaps then driving actual change in how OPSWAT operates.
