Job Description

The Director of Operations is the trusted advisor and organizational catalyst for iProspect’s leadership – amplifying executive impact, translating strategy into action, and ensuring the entire organization moves with clarity, focus, and urgency. This is not administrative support; it is operational leadership: architecting alignment, integrating priorities, and removing friction so teams deliver outcomes that matter.

This role will work closely with the CEO and executive leadership team to drive key initiatives across iProspect. The Director of Operations will coordinate operational efforts, support strategic priorities, and ensure leaders can focus on delivering exceptional client outcomes. They thrive in ambiguity, excel at execution, and perform at their best in fast‑moving environments.

• Executive Communications & Presentations – craft executive‑ready narratives and polished, on‑brand decks for internal and external forums. Combine data, story, and design to persuade and align; ensure adherence to dentsu/iProspect brand guidance and templates.
• Prepare briefing documents, talking points, and follow‑up notes that clarify decisions, actions, and ownership.
