Role

Who you are

  • 7+ years of work experience within Consulting, Operations, Data Operations, or a similar role preferred
  • 3+ years of management/leadership skills
  • Perfectionist obsessed with data quality
  • Proficient in utilizing Excel/Google Sheets (SQL preferred) for analyzing large swaths of data and information
  • Analytical thinker who is able to communicate perspectives clearly
  • Gritty, scrappy, and resilient, with a strong bias for action and excited to take on new challenges

  • Interested in an office-centric culture
  • The ideal candidate has an analytical background who has experience utilizing data to make decisions

What the job involves

  • At Grata, we are looking for an experienced and motivated Director of Operations to lead our newly formed Data Operations department
  • This is an analytical role where you'll manage 5 overseas research teams and their team leads
  • You will set the strategy, resource the team, and ensure operational excellence
  • Oversee our entire Data Operations department
  • Partner with product managers and engineering teams to contribute to data strategy and data management
  • Get hands on - train the team, improve processes, and run weekly management reports
  • This is a high-impact, high-visibility role interacting directly with Grata’s founders

Our take

Grata offers investors a way of locating and targeting private companies through its B2B search engine. The engine leverages Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to collect distributed company data, giving potential stakeholders greater insight into middle-market businesses.

It’s remarkable that, despite the middle market making up 99% of all US businesses, it’s long been a very difficult sector to gain any real insight or access to. Now that millions of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are going online, however, a solution like Grata’s makes it much easier to find key information as investors weigh up their options.

While the likes of SourceScrub, which focuses on the financial services industry, are also making inroads in the B2B search engine niche, the fact that Grata is both industry-non-specific and market-focused could play to its advantage. That being said, it also scales up the challenge for the company’s tech to provide actionable insights for dealmakers.

With plenty of funding at its back, the company is looking to continue to refine its machine-learning capabilities moving forward. It has also been working to expand its customer list, which already includes the likes of Providence Equity, Denali Growth Partner, and One Medical.
