  • Ensure SOPs are implemented, followed, and updated as business needs evolve. 

Vendor & Contract Management 

  • Identify, evaluate, recommend, negotiate, and manage vendor relationships (e.g., facilities, IT services, logistics, cleaning, shipping). 
  • Oversee contract renewals, service levels, cost controls, and vendor performance. 
  • Act as the primary point of accountability for vendor execution, issue resolution, and performance management. 

Financial & Administrative Oversight

  • Oversee operational administrative activities, including check deposits, reimbursement processing, invoice coordination, and support for accounts payable and receivable functions.
  • Maintain accurate records and documentation to support internal controls, audits, and financial reviews.
  • Support budgeting, expense tracking, and forecasting related to office and operational costs.
  • Identify and recommend cost-saving opportunities and implement approved operational changes.

Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration

  • Lead and coordinate operational projects such as office expansions, relocations, system implementations, and process rollouts.
  • Collaborate with teams in Japan and India to align operational workflows and ensure effective cross-border coordination.

  • Demonstrated ability to identify improvement areas and bring well-structured proposals and recommendations to management.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with sound judgment on matters of operational significance.
