Who this band describes

Senior operations managers in this band span a wide range — biz-ops at scale-ups, COO-track operators at series-A/B, supply-chain operations leads at consumer brands, and operations partners at professional services firms. The shared profile: 7+ years of experience, strong systems thinking, cross-functional accountability without direct revenue ownership.

Tech-scale-ups and high-growth consumer brands anchor the upper band, particularly for biz-ops profiles with finance/analytics fluency. Traditional industries (logistics, manufacturing) pay 15-25% below the tech band for equivalent seniority but include broader operational responsibility.

Common employer types at this band: Tech scale-ups, Consumer brands, Consultancies, Logistics, Professional services.
