Manager, Growth Operations - Galileo X

The Manager, Growth Operations - Galileo X will serve as the operational architect for the Galileo X product lines (Direct Service Expanded Learning Programs and Licensed Enrichment Solutions), bridging the gap between a rapid-growth sales team and established central functions. You will execute critical day-to-day revenue operations (from RFP management to customer implementation) while simultaneously building the scalable infrastructure—processes, playbooks, and tools—required to grow the business line 2-3x.

Accountable For

Growth Operations & Internal Infrastructure

• Process Architecture: Map, document, and optimize the end-to-day workflow from "Lead" to "Renewal," identifying and eliminating friction points between Galileo X and Central functions.
• Knowledge Management: Build the "Galileo X Playbook," ensuring tribal knowledge is codified into repeatable standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Tooling & Automation: Prototype and implement low-code/no-code solutions to automate manual tasks (e.g., automated handoffs, data entry reduction). Collaborate with internal and external teams to develop more robust long-term solutions.

Sales Enablement & Revenue Operations

• Pipeline Logistics: Own the administrative lifecycle of the deal, including vendor registration, contract tracking, and RFP responses.
• Event Strategy & Execution: Manage the logistics and ROI tracking for industry conferences and sales events (beyond just "support").
• Sales Collateral: Act as the liaison between Sales and Marketing to ensure the team has up-to-date, relevant assets.

Customer Success & Account Management

• Implementation Onboarding: Own the post-sale "Kick-off" phase for Enrichment Solutions in particular; standardize the intake process to ensure smooth implementation.
• Feedback Loops: Systematize the collection of user feedback to inform product iteration; turn qualitative anecdotes into quantitative data for the Educational Product team.
• Renewal Management: Proactively manage the renewal calendar, collaborating with Sales to engage with clients to secure retention.

Key Success Indicators

• Mission-Driven: Inspired by Galileo’s purpose to empower young innovators through innovation education and project-based learning, eager to contribute to a professional, welcoming, camp-inspired culture.

• Operational Grit: Willingness to do the unglamorous work (filling out forms) while keeping the big picture in mind.

• Diplomatic Disruption: Ability to navigate organizational resistance and drive change without formal authority.

• High tolerance for—and ability to effectively manage—ambiguity and shifting priorities.

• Systems Thinking: The ability to look at a recurring problem and build a process to solve it permanently
