Business Operations Manager, eCommerce Systems

We are currently migrating from a legacy custom-development tech stack to a modern, SaaS-native commerce platform centered on UltraCart. As part of that transition, we are building out a Business Operations Manager team- a group of senior individual contributors who report into the COO and operate as a shared service across the company. Each Business Operations Manager serves a specific business unit and owns a company-wide specialty. This role's specialty is systems and data. The Opportunity This is a hands-on ownership role and the company-wide expert on our revenue and commerce systems. You will not manage people; you will own the platforms that run our business. As we sunset our internal custom-development team, you will essentially replace that function- translating business needs into SaaS-native architecture, configuring directly inside platforms, owning integrations end-to-end, and ensuring that marketing, checkout, payments, subscriptions, fulfillment, and customer experience all run cleanly. You will be the technical partner to the COO on commerce, payments, and revenue systems strategy, and the systems-thinking translator who unblocks marketing, customer success, and finance when vendors say "that's not possible." This is a full-time, exempt individual contributor position reporting to the COO. What You'll Operate System Operations & Reliability

• Own configuration, setup, and ongoing health of all core commerce systems
• Ensure orders, payments, subscriptions, and fulfillment run cleanly without manual intervention
• Identify and resolve system issues quickly to prevent revenue disruption

Execution Inside Platforms

• Configure and build products, offers, subscriptions, funnels, upsells, and workflows directly inside UltraCart and connected platforms
• Enable Marketing and Customer Success to execute campaigns and changes without engineering dependency
• Translate "we need X" from business teams into platform-native solutions

Revenue & Payment Systems Architecture

• Own the technical understanding of our payment infrastructure: payment gateways, Merchant IDs (MIDs), stored credential frameworks, network transaction IDs (NTIDs), and authorization rate optimization
• Partner with finance and the COO on technical solutions to revenue protection challenges, including Dunning management, decline recovery, and chargeback handling
• Understand the architectural implications of one-time vs. recurring revenue models and ensure our system design supports both without sacrificing authorization rates
• Recognize when current technical design is harming revenue and propose SaaS-native solutions

Integrations, Middleware & Data Flow

• Maintain and troubleshoot connections across marketing * commerce * payments * fulfillment * customer success
• Identify and resolve broken integrations, data inconsistencies, and workflow gaps
• Recognize when native integrations are sufficient and when middleware is the better architectural choice for non-native functionality

Vendor & Platform Management

• Serve as HBI's primary point of contact with all system vendors and platforms
• Direct vendors with urgency- drive issue resolution, escalations, and improvements. You direct vendors, not the other way around
• Reformulate the question when vendors say "no"- recognize when a request is being asked in a custom-development way and translate it into a SaaS-native question that can actually be solved
• Validate system outputs, data accuracy, and implementation quality
• Ensure HBI maintains control and internal understanding of all system behavior

Reporting & Data

• Partner with the business to define key metrics, data definitions, and reporting requirements
• Support creation of standardized reporting frameworks across the company
• Interface with BI resources for dashboard development; own what should be measured and how
• As the company-wide specialty owner for systems and reporting, set the standards other Business Operations Managers and business units work within

Documentation & Process

• Document all systems, workflows, dependencies, and integrations
• Build repeatable processes that reduce risk and reliance on individuals

What Success Looks Like

• Orders, payments, subscriptions, and fulfillment run cleanly with no manual intervention
• Marketing, commerce, fulfillment, and CS systems are fully connected
• Funnels and offers can be launched without engineering support
• System issues are identified and resolved quickly
• Authorization rates, Dunning recovery, and payment-related KPIs improve as architectural issues are surfaced and resolved
• Reporting is accurate, standardized, and trusted across the business
• Internal stakeholders - including senior leaders and legacy custom-development advocates - adopt SaaS-native patterns rather than recreating legacy workarounds

Systems in Scope Core Platforms

• UltraCart (system of record)
• Klaviyo (email and SMS lifecycle)
• ShipMonk (fulfillment)
• Recurly and connected subscription billing
• Chargebacks911 (revenue protection)
• Payment gateways and merchant accounts
• Call center platform
• BigQuery (reporting layer)

Supporting Tools

• VWO, GTmetrix, landing page tools as needed
• Google Workspace (light admin), * An end-to-end owner who takes accountability for how systems perform, not just whether they're running
• Hands-on and execution-oriented: you work directly inside platforms, not through tickets
• A systems thinker who recognizes when "that's not possible" is actually "that's not possible the way you're asking" - and reformulates the question
• A systems optimizer who improves what exists rather than rebuilding from scratch
• A business translator who bridges the gap between what teams need and what systems do
• Data-aware: you understand how data flows across systems and how to define what matters
• A vendor driver who holds vendors accountable and prevents HBI from becoming dependent on them
• An influencer of strong technical and non-technical opinions - comfortable advocating for SaaS-native patterns with senior leaders, marketing teams, and legacy custom-development advocates

About the Team You will be part of HBI's Business Operations Manager team - a group of senior individual contributors who report into the COO and operate as a shared service across the company.
