The Opportunity We're hiring an Operations Engineer — the first builder in Iru's Operations function, reporting to the Head of Operations. This role sits at the intersection of business operations and engineering. You'll need an unusual combination: enough operational judgment to know which problems are worth solving, and enough technical capability to go solve them yourself. Most people have one or the other. We're looking for someone who has both and wants a seat where both matter. Iru already has the people running the work. Accounting closes the books, FP&A runs planning, and there's analytics support across the business. This role doesn't take that work over. It exists to change the shape of it. The thesis, stated plainly: as Iru grows, operational load grows with it. The default answer is to add a person every time the load goes up. We think that's the wrong answer, and we'd rather prove it than assume it. Your job is to build the systems, integrations, and automations that give capacity back to the teams who have it today — so the work scales with the business without the headcount scaling in lockstep. You won't be measured on tickets closed or processes documented. You'll be measured on how much capacity you return. Where we're starting. The clearest near-term opportunities sit in G&A, and a few are already on the table: Collections. Our AR process works, but it works because people are pushing it. We want it to work because the system is. ERP implementation. We're moving to a new tool. You'll own how it connects to everything upstream and downstream. FP&A tooling. We're selecting a planning platform. You'll help evaluate it, then own how it gets wired in. Data infrastructure. Finance, people, and spend data lives in too many places and reconciles too slowly. You'll fix the plumbing. Those are examples, not the job. The same problem shows up in different clothing across T&E, People, Workplace, and planning. Where you go after the first wins is something you and the Head of Operations decide together, based on where the leverage actually is.
