Director of Business Operations

We are seeking an experienced Director of Business Operations to consistently convert company priorities into efficient, high-quality output. Reporting to the VP of Operations, you will oversee the day-to-day activities of the company and ensure the company is managed and performing both efficiently and effectively. As we grow, you will scale our systems and processes across our Ireland and Singapore offices, working closely with all teams and ensuring business resilience.

Quantum computing is a rapidly growing field that is both complex and intricate. You don't need to be an expert in quantum computing to work with us, but if you're curious, eager to learn, and passionate about tackling challenging projects in an exciting, evolving field, then this role might be perfect for you.

Responsibilities

• Oversee daily company activities and procedures. You’ll translate leadership goals into repeatable and scalable workflows, ensuring our teams stay on track and on budget.
• Define, implement, and iterate company policies and SOPs that don’t just meet compliance standards but actually make life better for our technical teams.
• Constantly evaluate productivity and efficiency. You’ll analyze our operational spend and internal systems to recommend and implement improvements.
• Lead the design, testing and exercising of the company’s Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plans. You’ll maintain the company’s Risk Register and Health & Safety programs to ensure we are always resilient to disruption.
• Own the company’s knowledge management, ensuring our technical and business intelligence is documented, searchable, and structured.
• Implement and maximize initiatives that build a positive, high-output work environment, from office expansions to team-building frameworks.
• Act as operational lead for external programs and industry affiliations. You will oversee the administrative pathways for these partnerships—coordinating documentation, managing deadlines, and consolidating inputs from the relevant teams.
• Be flexible and willing to take on new responsibilities as the company grows.

Requirements

• 7+ years in Business Operations, Management Consulting, or GRC within high-growth deep-tech or SaaS.
• Practical experience with GDPR/PDPA and a working knowledge of international export controls.
• A track record of delivering complex, non-technical projects (entity setups, grant applications, or office expansions) on time and under budget.
• A minimum of 10 years of management experience managing diverse teams and operations.
• You aren't a developer, but you understand the SDLC and can communicate effectively with PhD-level researchers and senior engineers.
• A high degree of technical literacy and an ability to learn new technologies quickly.
• Bachelor’s in Business, Law, or a related field. PMP, CIPP, or similar certifications are a major plus.
