What Does the Executive Mosaic Director of Operations Role Entail?
The Director of Operations role is designed as both a transition and transformation position.
The selected candidate will initially work alongside the current Director of Operations, who plans to retire in December 2026, to absorb responsibilities across core business functions such as finance operations, HR administration, IT coordination and vendor management.
At the same time, the role carries a forward-looking mandate to evaluate how those functions should evolve, including identifying opportunities to outsource, automate or optimize processes using AI and modern enterprise tools.
The company emphasized that the role is not intended to maintain existing systems, but to build a lean, high-performance operating model aligned with future growth.
How Will the Operations Director Role Support Executive Leadership?
Executive Mosaic said the Director of Operations will act as the CEO’s day-to-day delegate, ensuring accountability, communication and execution across the senior leadership team.
Responsibilities include managing weekly performance reporting, facilitating leadership meetings and conducting regular one-on-one check-ins with department heads. The role will also participate in hiring decisions and vendor approvals alongside the CEO and CFO.
In addition, the position will play an expanding role in managing company EBITDA, linking operational performance directly to financial outcomes.
What Is Driving Executive Mosaic’s Hiring Push?
The hiring comes as Executive Mosaic prepares for a new strategic chapter focused on accelerating growth and expanding its platform.
The company recently appointed a CFO and is exploring the use of strategic capital to support acquisitions, technology investments and broader market expansion.
Leadership said the business remains debt-free and profitable, with a roadmap targeting $20 million in revenue and beyond.
The Director of Operations will be responsible for helping build the operational infrastructure needed to support that trajectory.
What Experience Is Executive Mosaic Looking For?
Executive Mosaic is seeking candidates with at least seven years of experience in operations or business management, including leadership roles overseeing cross-functional teams.
Key qualifications include experience building operational systems in growth-stage environments, managing budgets and financial processes, and working closely with executive leadership.
The company is also looking for candidates with experience evaluating third-party service providers, managing distributed teams and integrating technology platforms such as Salesforce.
Interest in AI-driven automation and analytics is considered a strong advantage, along with experience in government contracting, defense or federal services-related industries.
What Compensation and Benefits Are Offered?
The role offers a base salary range of $125,000 to $160,000, along with variable compensation tied directly to company EBITDA performance.
Executive Mosaic said its senior team compensation model is uncapped, allowing leaders to participate in the financial upside generated through growth and operational efficiency.
Benefits include medical, dental and a 401(k) with company match. The role follows a hybrid schedule, with two to three days per week in the company’s Vienna headquarters.
Why Is This Role Significant?
Executive Mosaic describes the position as a potential pathway to Chief Operating Officer for the right candidate.
With direct involvement in operational strategy, financial performance and executive leadership coordination, the role offers a rare opportunity to shape how a GovCon-focused media and intelligence platform scales in its next phase.
