Senior Business Operations Manager

The Senior Business Operations Manager will report to the VP, Head of Lending.

As the Senior Business Operations Manager, you will:

• Drive cross-functional alignment and execution across our lending business units, serving as the core connective tissue between business leaders and Product, Marketing, Risk, Finance, and Data Analytics.
• Conduct high-leverage analytical deep dives and advanced financial modeling to identify performance drivers, run scenario analyses, and guide executive decision-making.
• Own and maintain the quality of critical corporate operating cadences, including weekly business reviews, monthly business reviews, and board material preparation.
• Coordinate annual corporate and strategic planning processes, managing cross-functional timelines, inputs, and deliverables.
• Act as a versatile internal consultant, shifting smoothly across portfolio management, deep analytics, and operational tracking as organizational priorities scale.
• Build a long-term foundation toward a general management track within Earnest’s lending business units.

About You:

• Exceptional financial modeling and analytical capabilities, with a proven ability to autonomously build scenarios and translate complex data sets into strategic recommendations.
• A high-ownership self-starter who thrives when operating without a fixed lane and feels energized by fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
• Outstanding relationship-building and communication skills, with a track record of effectively influencing cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders without direct authority.

Even Better:

• Prior experience in fintech, consumer lending, or capital markets, with a solid grasp of asset-class mechanics or lending operations.
• Direct experience supporting or interacting with corporate development, strategic finance, or asset liability management (ALM) teams.
• Familiarity with structured business review frameworks (WBR/MBR) and hands-on exposure to business unit P&L management or forecasting.
