Digital Operations Manager

Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

Job Description

We're seeking a world-class Operations Manager to be the CEO's primary operating partner - owning the operating system, execution rhythm, and cross-functional alignment that drive profitable, scalable growth.
In this fast-paced role, you'll turn strategy into repeatable, measurable outcomes. You'll orchestrate planning and delivery across Revenue Operations, Delivery/PMO, Client Success, People Ops (with CPO), Finance (with CFO), and Marketing enablement - ensuring our Scalable OS, ClickUp, and Go High Level (GHL) work as one truth for goals, work, and lifecycle performance.
If you're a systems thinker who loves clarity, speed, and results - and you build cultures of accountability where teams do the best work of their careers, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership Operating Rhythm

  • Run the daily/weekly operating cadence: drive priorities, unblock decisions, and enforce standards in Scalable, ClickUp, and GHL.
  • Maintain real-time visibility into capacity, delivery health, SLA adherence, and margins across pods/teams.
  • Safeguard data integrity across ClickUp (work), GHL (pipeline/revenue/CS), and financial systems.
Weekly Cross-Functional Execution
  • Lead the Weekly Scalable Meeting; update scorecards, rocks/OKRs, risks, and decisions.
  • Chair the RevOps + Delivery + CX + Finance huddle to reconcile pipeline ? staffing ? delivery ? cash flow.
  • Oversee portfolio governance in ClickUp (intake, prioritization, dependencies, WIP limits, change control).
  • Review GHL dashboards for pipeline velocity, conversion, retention/expansion; ensure tight handoffs with CX.
Performance & Planning
  • Present the Monthly Operating Review (revenue/margin, NRR/GRR, delivery quality, NPS/CSAT, forecast accuracy, risks).
  • Translate annual plans into Quarterly OKRs/Rocks and align budgets, headcount, and initiatives.
  • Sponsor continuous improvement: SOP modernization, automation in GHL/ClickUp, AI-assisted workflows, and cost control.
Scaling Foundations
  • Refresh Scalable OS artifacts (V/TO equivalents, governance, playbooks); conduct org design reviews and succession planning.
  • Benchmark agency performance to top-quartile peers (utilization, cycle time, gross margin, NRR) and rebalance the portfolio for growth and efficiency.
People & Culture
  • Model people-first leadership: clarity of roles, psychological safety, crisp communication, and high ownership.
  • Partner with People Ops to keep a healthy talent pipeline, and enable leaders through playbooks - not heroics.
Requirements
Experience & Scope
  • 5 - 10+ years scaling operations in agency/consulting/SaaS-adjacent environments with demonstrated P&L impact.
  • Track record building operating cadences that improve margin, utilization, delivery quality, NRR, and forecast accuracy.

  • Data integrations across ClickUp ? GHL ? finance; KPI architecture and workflow automation.
Leadership & Communication
  • High EQ, clarity, and candor; excellent stakeholder management across CEO, CFO, CPO, RevOps, Delivery/PMO, CX, and Marketing.
  • Decision athlete: fast, data-driven calls with measured risk; simplifies complexity into repeatable mechanisms.
Success Metrics (Illustrative)
  • Revenue & Margin: On-time/on-budget delivery rate; target gross margin.
  • Clients: NPS/CSAT, GRR/NRR, expansion rate, time-to-value.
  • Execution: Forecast accuracy, capacity utilization, cycle time, WIP control.
