Head of Business Operations - CDI - Paris

The Business Operations team is the operational backbone of Orus. Sitting at the intersection of Sales, Partnerships, Brokers, Care, Growth, and Claims, the team turns business needs into scalable processes, reliable tooling, smart automation, and high-quality data.

We are looking for a Head of Business Operations to lead and scale this team. You will own the team’s strategy, delivery, people management, and stakeholder relationships. This is a high-impact leadership role with direct exposure to the entire executive team.

• Own career development for the team: accompany each team member on their career track, identify growth opportunities, and ensure they have a clear path forward within the organization

• Drive the hiring plan for additional team members as the function evolves

• Build a culture of ownership, documentation, continuous improvement, and high standards

4. Stakeholder management

• Be the main point of contact for internal stakeholder teams including Sales, Partnerships, Care, and Brokers

• Build trust through responsiveness, accountability, and clear delivery commitments

• Proactively communicate priorities, progress, trade-offs, and blockers

• Help stakeholders move from ad hoc requests to more structured ways of working with the Ops team

5. Process, tooling & organization design

• Define the team’s operating model, including intake channels, prioritization rules, SLA expectations, and request templates

• Oversee and continuously improve the tooling stack: HubSpot, Linear, N8N, Customer.io, Aircall, Notion, Looker

• Design processes that are simple, scalable, and well-documented

• Build the documentation culture and team rituals that will allow the function to scale reliably over time
