SVP of Operations
Pax8
🚀 SVP of Operations – Denver, USA (Hybrid or Remote US)
Join Pax8 and build the operational engine that powers one of the most ambitious AI-driven transformations in the global cloud marketplace.
This isn’t a “keep the lights on” role.
This is about designing how a modern, AI-enabled company actually runs - at scale.
🔥 What makes this role exciting
This is a career-defining executive opportunity at the centre of Pax8’s next chapter.
You’re not fixing something broken, you’re taking a high-growth, high-performing business and unlocking its next level of scale, speed, and precision.
You’ll put the business “on rails” introducing the operating discipline, clarity, and rhythm that allows thousands of people to execute with confidence and pace.
At the same time, Pax8 is building a hybrid human + digital workforce 🤖 where AI agents and automation aren’t experiments, but embedded teammates. You’ll play a pivotal role in turning that vision into reality, shaping how work gets done across the company.
If you’re energised by complexity, driven by impact, and motivated to build something that lasts - not just optimise what exists - this role puts you right at the heart of it.
🌍 Life at Pax8
Pax8 is redefining how businesses access and scale cloud technology and we’re doing it fast.
We combine scale-up energy ⚡ with global reach 🌎, creating an environment where ideas move quickly, decisions are made with intent, and people are trusted to lead.
You’ll join a culture that values:
Straight talk and real collaboration 🤝
Experimentation and continuous improvement 🔬
Leaders who get into the detail - and make things happen 🚀
💥 What you’ll own
You’ll lead the operational backbone of the COO organisation, aligning the entire company around clear priorities, disciplined execution, and measurable outcomes.
⚙️ Design the operating system
Build and run a seamless operating rhythm that connects strategy → plans → OKRs → execution.
Create the cadence, visibility, and accountability that keeps the business moving forward — fast.
📊 Turn data into action
Establish a single source of truth across the business.
Equip leaders with real-time, decision-grade insight - and the confidence to act on it.
🧭 Drive focus and smart trade-offs
Cut through noise.
Create simple, transparent frameworks that ensure investment, headcount, and effort go where they matter most.
🤝 Connect global execution
Align regions, functions, and commercial operations into one cohesive system - reducing friction and increasing speed.
🤖 Embed AI into how work gets done
Move beyond theory.
Identify where automation and digital workers can eliminate manual effort, improve quality, and unlock human potential.
🌱 Build and lead a world-class team
Develop a high-performing operations organisation that scales with Pax8 - setting the bar for clarity, pace, and impact.
🔥 The impact you’ll have
Your fingerprint will be on how Pax8 scales, globally and sustainably.
Leaders will make faster, better decisions
Teams will operate with less friction and more clarity
Innovation will land cleanly and scale
The business will unlock true operating leverage
In short: you’ll help turn growth into precision at scale.
You’re an experienced operator who has seen scale before, and knows how to build for it again in a modern, AI-enabled world.
Proven success leading enterprise-scale operations in high-growth B2B tech environments
Deep expertise in operating rhythms, planning cycles, and execution frameworks
Strong financial and commercial acumen - you connect operations to outcomes
A track record of simplifying complexity and driving operational excellence
A data-first mindset - you use insight to drive accountability and action
Experience leading global, cross-functional teams
Clear perspective on how AI and automation reshape operating models 🤖
A leadership style that is decisive, pragmatic, and calm under pressure
Above all, you’re a builder - someone who creates structure where it doesn’t exist and elevates what already does.
