THE ROLE

As Director of Strategy and Business Operations, you will serve as a strategic operational leader driving the execution of Everpure’s R&D strategy and product priorities. Partnering directly with R&D executives, Product Management, Finance, and Engineering leadership, you will translate corporate objectives into integrated operating plans, resource allocations, and governance frameworks.

WHAT YOU'll DO

• Strategic & Operational Planning: Translate R&D priorities into integrated operating plans, measurable outcomes, and cross-functional execution roadmaps that align investments with corporate goals.

• Investment & Resource Optimization: Oversee R&D headcount, OpEx, CapEx, and infrastructure resource planning, delivering data-backed recommendations to guide executive prioritization and trade-off decisions.

• Engineering & Business Performance Metrics: Establish R&D scorecards and performance metrics that convert operational data into actionable insights, shifting business reviews toward proactive risk mitigation and outcome-driven decisions.

• Governance & Operating Cadence: Design and manage executive operating mechanisms, business reviews, and planning forums that ensure clear accountability, decision follow-through, and organizational clarity without unnecessary process friction.

• Cross-Functional Program Execution: Lead complex strategic programs spanning Engineering, Product, Finance, HR, and Supply Chain to resolve cross-departmental dependencies and deliver key business commitments.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Strategic Leadership & Executive Partnership: Demonstrated capability acting as a trusted operational partner to R&D and Product executives, converting complex business strategy into executable operational plans.

• Resource Governance & Portfolio Economics: Expertise in managing multi-faceted R&D planning cycles, resource allocation models, and investment trade-offs across OpEx, CapEx, and infrastructure portfolios.

• Analytical Mastery & Data-Driven Decision Making: Skill in distilling complex operational datasets into clear executive scorecards, strategic insights, and actionable recommendations.

• Cross-Functional Influence & Change Management: Proven track record of navigating organizational ambiguity, resolving cross-functional dependencies, and aligning diverse stakeholders across Engineering, Finance, HR, and Operations.
