VP OF OPERATIONS MISSION LENS’s mission is to end traffic accidents. LENS prevents accidents and saves lives by detecting hazards to prevent accidents before they happen. PLATFORM & PRODUCT LENS Detect scans CCTV feeds on highways to identify hazards, in real-time, before they become accidents. Public Safety agencies, alongside Departments of Transportation, receive alerts on the LENS Detect dashboard about Disabled Vehicles, Stalled Big Rigs, and Pedestrians on Freeway. A dispatcher reviews and validates the detection, and then dispatches an officer to the scene to assist the person in need — resulting in either preventing an accident or saving a life. CBS LA recently did a three minute TV feature that succinctly captures what LENS is doing with Public Safety Agencies in one of the largest traffic capitols in the world: CHP LA Communications Center using AI to prevent accidents before they happen http://youtube.com/watch?v=KrY2NVJ2eno ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES As the VP of Operations, you seek transformational change. You do not accept the status quo that accidents are an accepted inevitability, or that they just happen. Instead, you believe when the root cause of an accident can be known in advance, the accident can and should be prevented. You work with fellow Preventers that share this core belief, using LENS to prevent accidents and save lives. Your responsibilities are: - Build and lead our business organization. Develop the business functions that power LENS, including Marketing, Communications, Customer Impact, People, and other functions as the company grows and create an organization capable of compounding its impact over time. - Translate company strategy into operational execution. Partner closely with the leadership team to turn long-term strategy into clear priorities, measurable objectives, and coordinated execution across the company. - Design our systems for scale. Establish the planning processes, operating cadences, decision-making frameworks, and management systems that enable the company to move quickly while remaining aligned as it grows. - Create organizational leverage. Continuously improve how teams collaborate, communicate, and make decisions. Remove organizational friction, clarify accountability, and ensure every function is positioned to do its highest-impact work. - Partner with the CEO on company building. Serve as a trusted thought partner on organizational strategy, operational priorities, hiring, and business performance. Help ensure today's decisions strengthen the company's long-term ability to fulfill its mission. MINDSET, PRINCIPLES, AND SKILLS & EXPERIENCE Your mindset is grounded in: - The organization is a force multiplier. You understand that extraordinary missions require extraordinary organizations. Your greatest impact comes from building an environment where exceptional people consistently produce exceptional results. - Scale is designed, not discovered. Great organizations do not simply grow - they are intentionally built. You anticipate the capabilities the company will need six, twelve, and twenty-four months from now, and begin building them before they become constraints. - Leaders build leaders. Your success is measured not only by the decisions you make, but by the leaders you develop, the ownership you create, and the standards that continue to rise long after you've established them. Principles you share with us are: - Begin with the end in mind. You understand the organization LENS must become to achieve its mission and work backwards to build the structure, leadership, and operating model required to get there. - We spend the most time where it makes the most progress. You continually evaluate where leadership attention, organizational resources, and operational investment will have the greatest impact on advancing the mission. - We always advance.
