About the Role
We are seeking a structured, analytical, and execution-driven Director, Business Operations & Strategy to lead defined integration and transformation initiatives across SHVR’s markets, brands, and functions.
This role sits within SHVR’s Business Operations organization and operates as an engagement leader responsible for structuring executable initiatives and delivering measurable results. The Director will shape and structure significant bodies of work inside high-impact initiatives across M&A integration, operating model design, revenue and cost optimization, value creation, and cross-functional transformation.
This is not a traditional project or program management role, but rather a high-ownership role requiring structured problem solving, executive communication, and disciplined execution in a fast-scaling, acquisition-driven platform.
The Director partners directly with the VP and SVP, Business Operations & Strategy, Market General Managers, and other functional leaders to ensure that initiatives are aligned to deliverable goals, and delivered with measurable impact.
Key Responsibilities

- Align to enterprise goals set by the VP, translating priorities into structured, executable workstreams with clear sequencing and ownership
- Lead integration and transformation efforts within defined bodies of work, driving execution from workstream design through delivery and transition to operational ownership
- Shape and build clear execution roadmaps against significant bodies of work
Integration & Program Execution

- Support alignment across diverse stakeholders with competing priorities
Execution Discipline and Rigor
- Apply and contribute to the evolution of integration playbooks and transformation frameworks
- Maintain consistent execution standards across assigned workstreams
- Contribute to the consistency and predictability of delivery across the portfolio
What This Role Is Not
- Not a traditional project management position
- Not a functional operating role responsible for day-to-day KPIs
- Not a staff-augmentation support function
- Not an advisory-only strategy role detached from execution and results delivery
- This role delivers outcomes through disciplined execution and stakeholder influence
