About the Role
B&H is building a Business Optimization team focused on improving how we operate so we can deliver more, faster, and better for our customers.
We are hiring senior individual contributors to identify what’s getting in the way of execution today and lead the work to fix it. This role is about removing friction, simplifying complexity, and designing processes and operating models that enable teams to move with greater speed, clarity, and consistency.
You will work across departments to diagnose issues, design practical solutions, and lead transformation initiatives that make it easier for the business to execute and achieve better outcomes.
This is a highly visible role with significant impact on how B&H evolves. We are intentionally building a team that blends deep internal knowledge with external perspective from more mature or scaled environments.
What You’ll Do
Uncover friction and inefficiencies: Identify what’s slowing teams down, creating confusion, or leading to inconsistent outcomes across the business
Define problems with clarity: Take ambiguous challenges and break them into structured, actionable components
Simplify and improve processes: Redesign workflows, decision rights, and operating models to make execution easier, faster, and more reliable
Design practical solutions: Apply proven business frameworks and best practices while tailoring solutions to fit B&H’s reality
Lead cross-functional transformation: Own initiatives end-to-end—from problem definition through implementation and adoption
Enable faster execution: Remove blockers, streamline handoffs, and improve coordination across teams
Drive alignment and adoption: Bring stakeholders along by clearly communicating problems, solutions, and benefits
Leverage data to improve outcomes: Use data to diagnose issues, prioritize opportunities, and measure impact
Raise how we operate: Help introduce and institutionalize more consistent, scalable ways of working across the organization
What We’re Looking For
Experience:
8–12+ years in management consulting, business operations, strategy, or transformation roles
Track record of improving business performance through process, operating model, or organizational changes
Experience in mature or scaled environments, with the ability to bring those learnings into a growing organization
Problem Solving & Structure:
Strong, structured thinker who can quickly make sense of complex, ambiguous situations
Comfortable diagnosing root causes—not just symptoms
Familiar with business frameworks (process optimization, operating models, KPI design, etc.)
Execution & Ownership:
Proven ability to lead projects end-to-end and drive tangible outcomes
Strong program management skills with a focus on delivering results, not just recommendations
Can Establish enterprise-wide operating rhythms that reinforce accountability, transparency, and rapid decision-making that sustain “beyond the project”
Communication & Influence:
Exceptional communicator who can clearly articulate problems and solutions
Able to build trusted relationships with all levels to influence direction, resolve organizational friction, and accelerate alignment
Skilled at bringing people along through change
Data Fluency:
Comfortable using data to inform decisions and measure success
Able to translate analysis into clear, actionable insights
Mindset:
Pragmatic and action-oriented—you focus on what works, not just what’s ideal
Obsessed with making things simpler and more effective
High ownership and accountability
Willing to challenge the status quo thoughtfully and constructively
Collaborative and low-ego, with a focus on outcomes over credit
Why This Role Matters
This team exists to make B&H easier to run—and more effective at serving our customers.
By removing friction, improving processes, and enabling faster, better decision-making, this role directly contributes to our ability to deliver at scale. The impact is broad, tangible, and foundational to how the company grows.
