As the Head of Central Operations, you will be responsible for building and owning the operating model for Veho's ground operations, defining what a high-performing market looks like, and creating the analytics infrastructure that supports decision-making.

What sets the strongest candidates apart

Deeply analytical — you lead with data, you can build a KPI framework from scratch, and you're comfortable in SQL and BI tools

About Veho

  • A builder — you're excited to be first, not frustrated that there's no playbook to inherit
  • Time at a tech-enabled operator at scale (Amazon AMZL, DoorDash, Walmart Supply Chain) plus experience at a high-growth, venture-backed company
  • Has built and led a small central team from scratch

Responsibilities

  • Additionally, you'll build the analytics capability, own forecasting, and lead continuous improvement initiatives.
  • You will run the operating cadence, including daily standups, weekly reviews, and monthly health reviews, ensuring leadership has real-time visibility into network performance.
  • You will lead the continuous improvement program, systematically addressing operational failures, driving structural fixes, and building a culture of continuous improvement in the field.
  • Proven track record building performance management systems, operating cadences, or standards functions for a distributed operations network
  • A player-coach — you lead and you do. At Veho's stage, this role requires both

Requirements

  • 8+ years in operations, strategy & operations, or business operations — with meaningful time in a central or center-of-excellence function
  • Direct experience owning or building analytics infrastructure — not just consuming reports, but building the systems that generate them
  • Experience managing complex cross-functional initiatives across ops, product, and finance simultaneously
  • Background in logistics, fulfillment, last-mile delivery, or a similarly physical, high-volume environment
  • A systems thinker — when the same problem shows up in 3 markets, you ask why the operating model allows it and fix the root cause
  • A direct communicator — you say what you think, push back when timelines don't make sense, and earn trust by being honest
  • Strong AI building capabilities to build supporting tooling and reporting
