About the Role:

Design simpler customer and employee experiences. Build smarter processes. Help make goeasy easier to do business with - and easier to operate.

The Director, Operational Experience & Process Design will help build those experiences from the inside out-designing the processes, workflows, metrics, and team routines that make goeasy easier for customers to work with and easier for our teams to run. This is a high-autonomy role for someone who loves turning operational complexity into clear, practical systems that can scale. This is a build role. You will help shape how process management works at goeasy, influence how we run the business, and create lasting impact across a growing Operations organization. You will have the mandate to create the playbook, build the team, and help make goeasy simpler, faster, and better for the customers who count on us.

What will you be doing?

• Build and lead the Enterprise Process Excellence team, defining its mandate, structure, strategic priorities, governance, and accountability to drive operational improvements across the organization.
• Lead the creation of an Enterprise Process Hierarchy Framework and establish consistent standards for the design, documentation, governance, controls, and maintenance of operational processes, embedding quality through clear metrics, routines, and ownership that make issues easier to identify and resolve.
• Understand and map out goeasy’s key end-to-end processes, establishing a clear baseline of how work gets done, where friction and risk exist, and where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.
• Own the operational experience and process transformation strategy, embedding process engineering, Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement methodologies to simplify work, reduce waste, improve quality, and create measurable business impact.
• Lead the identification, prioritization, and delivery of process improvement and automation opportunities using data, customer feedback, and operational insights, translating operational challenges into practical process, workflow, control, and technology solutions that balance speed, simplicity, risk, and regulatory expectations.
• Design, build, and scale end-to-end customer and associate journeys and future-state operating models that are simple, practical, measurable, well-controlled, and support organizational growth, scalability, and strategic objectives.
• Partner across Operations, Risk, Compliance, Product, Analytics, and Technology to improve how work flows across teams and identify opportunities for workflow redesign, automation, and smarter decision-making.
• Partner with and influence senior executives to shape operational priorities, challenge existing ways of working, and drive alignment and commitment to enterprise-wide process transformation initiatives.
• Guide operational teams through the adoption of new tools, process frameworks, and quality standards to realize the full benefits of optimization efforts.
• Develop and grow talent through coaching, mentoring, and building leadership capabilities, fostering a high-performance culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and accountability.

Who you are:

• You think like a product builder and an operator—curious about the customer experience, practical about execution, and disciplined about risk.
• You are a natural problem solver who gets energy from making complex processes simpler, clearer, and better.
• You are excited by ambiguity and the opportunity to build a new function with significant autonomy and influence.
• You think in systems, stay practical, and know how to turn messy problems into scalable solutions.
• You care deeply about making things easier for customers and associates—and you are always asking: How can this be simpler, faster, safer, clearer, or more effective?

What experience do you have?

• 7 to 10 years of experience in process management, process improvement, operations, risk management, business transformation, consulting, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience building and leading high-performing teams, developing talent, and establishing strong performance routines that drive accountability and continuous improvement.
• Certification(s) in Lean, Six Sigma, process mapping, root-cause analysis, and structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to use data and KPIs to identify issues, measure performance, and tell a clear story about what needs to change.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence senior leaders and frontline teams.
• A degree in Engineering, Business, Operations, Mathematics, Analytics, or a related field; Engineering backgrounds are especially well suited to this role.
• Experience in financial services, lending, customer operations, or regulated environments is an asset; an understanding of the regulatory environment and how it impacts business processes is highly valued.
