Remote Vendor Risk Management Jobs in New York (NOW HIRING)

zerohash is looking for a VP/SVP of Business Operations to bring rigor, speed, and cross-functional coordination to how the company makes decisions and scales. We're looking for a senior leader to build, lead, and scale this function from the ground up.

This is a high-visibility, cross-functional leadership role reporting into executive leadership. You will own five connected pillars business intelligence, AI operational rollout, procurement, new product/market analysis, and organizational design & operating efficiency and be responsible for turning each into a durable, well-run sub-department rather than a one-off project. You'll work closely with Finance, Compliance, Product, Engineering, and Commercial teams, and will regularly present findings and recommendations to the executive team.

Business Intelligence

• Build the company's core BI function: unified reporting, KPI frameworks, and dashboards that give executives and the board a real-time, trustworthy view of the business.
• Partner with Finance, Sales, and Product to define the metrics that matter and ensure a single source of truth across systems.
• Turn data into decisions proactively surface trends, risks, and opportunities to leadership, not just retrospective reporting.

AI Operational Rollout

• Own the enterprise-wide roadmap for adopting new AI tools and workflows across internal operations from evaluation and pilots to change management and adoption.
• Identify high-value use cases across teams (support, compliance, engineering, ops) and build the business case, sequencing, and governance for rollout.
• Establish guardrails in partnership with Compliance, Security, and Legal so AI adoption is fast but responsible.

Procurement

• Build a formal procurement function: vendor onboarding, vendor evaluation, contract negotiation, spend management, and approval workflows.
• Drive cost discipline and vendor consolidation across software, infrastructure, and professional services without slowing teams down.
• Partner with Legal and Finance on contract terms, renewals, and vendor risk management.

New Product & Market Analysis

• Lead market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), competitive analysis, and opportunity assessment for new products, verticals, and geographies.
• Build the analytical backbone for strategic decisions pricing, market entry, and build-vs-partner-vs-buy recommendations.
• Identify organic growth opportunities within the existing partner and client base e.g., cross-sell/upsell potential across current product lines, underpenetrated verticals or geographies, and expansion of existing partner relationships into new use cases.
• Partner with Product and Commercial leadership to translate market analysis into roadmap and go-to-market input.

Organizational Design and Operating Efficiency

• Provide headcount planning support, org structure recommendations, and org health metrics to help leadership scale the company efficiently.
• Lead process design and re-engineering for scaling operational functions e.g., support, onboarding, and operations as volume and complexity grow.

• 1215+ years of progressive experience in business operations, strategy, corporate development, or a related leadership role.
• 58+ years of that experience in FinTech; direct experience in crypto, digital assets, payments, or banking / brokerage infrastructure is a strong plus.
• A track record of building functions from scratch you've stood up teams and processes, not just operated within them.
• Sharp analytical skills paired with genuine comfort in ambiguity; equally credible presenting to a board and rolling up your sleeves on a spreadsheet.
• Experience driving AI or major technology adoption within an operating business, ideally at scale.
• Strong track record in vendor negotiation and procurement strategy.
• Excellent executive communication skills, with experience presenting to C-suite and board-level audiences.
• Based in the United States; ability to travel to team hubs.
