Sr. Business Operations & Planning Manager (Remote)

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. 

We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.

Rula is a remote-first company. We currently hire in most U.S. states, with the exception of Hawaii.

About the Role

Rula’s Business Operations team is a group of analytical, operational, and strategic thinkers and executors responsible for helping identify, diagnose and build solutions for the company’s highest-priority problems. We support the strategic planning process and company operating system, lead cross-functional initiatives and projects, define and build company strategy, partner with executives to achieve company OKRs, and ensure leaders constantly have a pulse on the health of the business. We use data to identify the areas we should be working on, and serve as the primary owners of complex, cross-functional initiatives to drive forward Rula’s mission.

We are seeking a Sr. Business Operations and Planning Manager to join the Business Operations Team. This person will split their time across running the company operating system, driving company planning (including running executive level metrics reviews, weekly leadership updates, company planning cycles, and leadership offsites), and owning broader strategic and operational special projects such as initial visit provider cancellations, and driving audits and fixes to existing health plan portals and recommending opportunities and areas for growth, in addition to others.

This role is pivotal to both making sure the company runs successfully- ensuring leadership and initiative owners are working on the right objectives with clear alignment with effective forums for decision making, and delivering on projects aligned to Rula's highest priorities and initiatives.

You will bring a mix of skills including strong analytics, strategic thinking, operational excellence, and executive stakeholder and project management to execute the work necessary to take projects from concept to delivery.
