Job Summary:

DOZA Group Inc. is seeking an experienced, highly capable, and execution-driven Head of Operations to join our senior leadership team during a period of rapid expansion.

This is not simply a role focused on maintaining current operations. We are looking for a leader who can build ahead of growth — creating the organizational structure, systems, controls, leadership layers, and operating discipline required for a company scaling from 400+ employees toward a workforce in the thousands.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Scaling the Organization

• Lead the operational transformation required to support DOZA’s next stage of growth, anticipating requirements rather than reacting to bottlenecks.
• Design scalable management structures, reporting lines, approval authorities, and accountability frameworks.
• Partner with the CEO in translating growth strategy into operational capability — evolving DOZA into a professionally managed, scalable organization without losing its entrepreneurial speed.

Company-Wide Operations

• Lead and oversee the company’s overall day-to-day operations, translating CEO direction into clear plans, responsibilities, and measurable outcomes.
• Ensure strong coordination among Projects, Engineering, Procurement, Finance, and HR/Admin.
• Establish clear decision-making and escalation structures, reducing unnecessary dependence on the CEO for routine decisions.

Project & Construction Operations

• Maintain management-level oversight of all active projects — schedules, budgets, manpower, procurement, subcontractors, and quality.
• Establish standardized project reporting and review mechanisms across the company.
• Identify delays, cost overruns, and bottlenecks before they become critical, escalating major concerns to the CEO with clear analysis and recommendations.

Leadership & Organizational Development

• Lead and coordinate department heads and key operational leaders, establishing clear KPIs and accountability mechanisms.
• Build the next layer of leadership beneath senior management so the company can scale without every decision flowing through the CEO.
• Partner with HR on organizational design, succession planning, and senior-level recruitment.

Systems, Processes & Scalability

• Review existing processes and introduce stronger systems, SOPs, controls, and automation where needed.
• Establish clear approval matrices and delegated authorities appropriate for a rapidly growing organization.
• Improve communication and information flow between project sites and head office.

Financial & Commercial Performance

• Work with Finance and Project teams to monitor budgets, operating expenses, collections, and profitability.
• Establish regular operational and financial performance reviews against budget, schedule, and margin targets.
• Help management identify underperforming projects or processes and establish corrective action plans.

Procurement, Supplier & Internal Controls

• Strengthen procurement and purchasing systems across the organization, including approval workflows, canvassing, and vendor evaluation.
• Establish stronger segregation of duties and controls around purchasing and disbursements.
• Work closely with Finance and Legal to safeguard against unauthorized transactions, financial leakage, and conflicts of interest.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Minimum 10 years of progressive experience in the construction industry, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership or executive role managing large-scale operations, multiple concurrent projects, and sizable teams.
• Experience in a rapidly growing construction company is highly preferred
• Proven track record scaling an organization’s systems, structure, and leadership bench through a high-growth period.
• Strong command of project controls, procurement, and financial/commercial fundamentals.
• Demonstrated ability to build and lead management teams, with strong judgment on organizational design and delegation.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable operating at both strategic and execution level.
• Willingness to travel regularly to project sites nationwide.
