About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Maintain and update budget allocations across top-down and per-title frameworks; track spend against approved budgets and flag variances in real time.
Own PO issuance, coding, and reconciliation across all active vendor engagements.
Manage invoice tracking from submission through payment confirmation; ensure AP accuracy and timeliness in coordination with Finance.
Support intercompany bill-backs and remittance processes as needed.
Manage the full SOW lifecycle: initiation, redlines, execution, and renewal/expiration tracking.
Onboard new vendors in accordance with compliance and Finance requirements; maintain current and accurate vendor records (contacts, rates, contract status, deliverables).
Track vendor deliverable milestones and flag delays that impact budget or timelines.
Coordinate with Legal and Licensing on contract reviews and content usage approvals as needed.
Own the master task board as the single source of truth for all open Business Operations work; monitor task age and escalate stalled or blocked items.
Route incoming cross-functional requests to the correct owner with clear priorities and deadlines.
Drive closure — not just assignment — across all active work streams.
Identify and escalate risks before they become problems: budget drift, slipped deliverables, approval loop delays.
Own the Airtable operating system: architecture, data hygiene, and ongoing optimization.
Enforce process adherence across all contributors — internal and external — and maintain documentation for all workflows, decision rules, and escalation paths.
Audit records regularly to ensure system data reflects operational reality; identify gaps before they create downstream issues.
Serve as the operational point of contact between Creative, Finance, Legal, and Vendors.
Manage intake from non-Biz Ops stakeholders; translate requests into actionable, tracked work.
Produce real-time status visibility for the VP of Business Operations and C-suite as needed.
