About Wing:

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

About the Role:

Wing is looking for a Head of Business Operations to join our Strategy, Business Operations, and Analytics team. This role is based remotely in the United States. In this role, you will lead the Business Operations function, setting the standard for operational excellence and execution across the company. You will be responsible for building and managing a high-performing team that serves as the "connective tissue" of the organization, ensuring that high-level strategies are translated into actionable, measured, and delivered results. You will partner with executive leadership not just to plan the future, but to build the scalable systems, processes, and operating rhythms required to get us there.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead and scale the Business Operations function, defining the team’s charter, mentoring talent, and allocating resources to the highest-impact priorities across the company.
  • Own the company-wide operating system, including planning cycles (OKRs, annual planning), business reviews, and execution frameworks to ensure organizational alignment and velocity.
  • Translate corporate strategy into operational execution, bridging the gap between executive vision and day-to-day delivery by ensuring cross-functional teams have clear roadmaps and accountability.
  • Drive organizational efficiency and health, proactively identifying silos, operational drag, or resource imbalances, and implementing structural solutions to resolve them.
  • Serve as the primary escalation point for critical execution risks, partnering with senior-level stakeholders to unblock complex programs and drive rapid decision-making.
  • Establish the "Gold Standard" for project management and process rigor at Wing, creating toolkits and frameworks that elevate the operational maturity of the entire organization.

What You’ll Need:

  • 15+ years of experience in Business Operations
