Business Operations Lead

Business Operations Lead LocationRemoteEmployment TypeFull timeLocation TypeRemoteDepartmentOperationsWho We AreOverflow is a Series C, growth-stage technology company on a bold mission: to inspire the world to give. We're a vertical fintech and SaaS platform unlocking more ways to give — cash, stock, crypto, and beyond — through a beautifully designed ecosystem built for high-impact churches, nonprofits, and mission-driven institutions.Backed by Uncork Capital, Craft Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, R7, and WIF (one of the largest lenders to faith and philanthropic organizations in the country), we're building the infrastructure that makes generosity frictionless at scale.Our Founding PrinciplesOverflow was founded on the belief that generosity transforms people and communities. Inspired by Proverbs 11:24 — "The world of the generous gets larger and larger" — we operate with integrity, stewardship, service, and excellence.How We WorkOverflow operates with a flexible work model. While there is no company-wide in-office requirement, some teams may establish in-person collaboration rhythms based on their function, goals, and team needs.We maintain offices in Los Gatos, CA and Birmingham, AL for team collaboration, coworking, meetings, and intentional in-person connection. Candidates should be comfortable participating in occasional in-person gatherings or team-specific onsite expectations, depending on their role and department.The RoleWe're looking for a Strategic Operations Lead to build and lead the operational foundation of a high-growth fintech company — someone who thrives on doing the work, not just directing it. This is an operations leadership role at the intersection of payment operations, physical fulfillment, and compliance. You'll report directly to the Chief Product Officer and own the Operations function end-to-end from day one: leading our Payment Operations and Tap Operations teams, building out our Strategic Operations layer, and running our SOC 2 compliance program.What makes this role unique is its scope and leverage. We've built it around AI fluency because we believe the right operator, equipped with the right tools, can deliver the output of a much larger function and we want someone who automates their own workflows, builds their own tools, and reaches for AI as a default. You'll also be Overflow's AI champion: the person who spots where AI can change how a function operates, brings tools and workflows to teams beyond your own, and sets the visible example of what AI-fluent operating looks like company-wide. Beyond the Payment Operations and Tap Operations teams you'll lead directly, a small slice of engineering capacity is available to support internal tooling and reporting work where it's warranted — for that layer, you scope problems, make the case, and partner where it makes sense rather than directing a dedicated engineering team.There's also a clear path forward: this seat is the starting point for Overflow's future Operations function, with scope that grows as we do, potentially expanding to include IT and additional operations teams reporting up to you.What You Will DoBuild Strategic Operations, Hands-OnStand up planning cadence, operating rhythms, and business reviews across the company.Run cross-functional initiatives that span teams and need a single accountable owner.Define and instrument the metrics that matter (volume, acceptance, chargeback ratio, loss, cost-to-serve, settlement time) and build the reporting/BI layer that gives leadership a real-time view of how the company is running — without waiting on a data team.Own the company's tooling stack: select tools, make build-vs-buy decisions, and help every function use what they have well.Champion AI adoption across the company: find high-leverage use cases in other functions, pilot and roll out tools, and help teams build their own AI fluency — you're the visible proof point of what AI-leveraged operating looks like at Overflow.Scope XFN...
