Granicus is looking for an experienced Business Operations Specialist (Professional Services) to support its Professional Services team by facilitating project activation, administration, resource management, and reporting across the PS Organization. The PS Operations team is critical to the overall scalability of the Professional Services Organization. This position's primary responsibilities include the evaluation, assessment and review of Granicus service agreements for assignment to our software implementation teams.
Strong Business Operations Specialist candidates have a demonstrated record of creating and maintaining processes and systems that allow teams to function optimally. You’ll need strong organizational skills to maintain existing processes, continually improve those that don’t, and sound judgement to know the difference. A desire to be part of a results-driven, client-focused, fast paced team is a must.
This position is a remote, individual contributor role within the Client Services Operations department. Though a remote position, it would be preferable if the selected candidate is based in Washington DC; Denver, CO; St. Paul, MN. This role reports to the Professional Services Operations Manager.
Granicus is a remote first company (this isn’t temporary). While we have virtual teams, you have the option for in-office work should you be located near one of our hubs.

- Become a mentor, trainer, and leader within the PS Operations team, to include the onboarding of new employees.
- Ensure operational programs and workflow best practices are adopted and employed at all levels of the PS organization through enablement and regular reviews. When points of process friction arise, architect scalable solutions.
- Partner with immediate PS and Client Services Operations team members, as well as cross-functionally with Finance, Business Systems and Business Insights teams to ensure reliability and accuracy of reporting on all Professional Services KPIs
- Leverage company-standard CRM (Salesforce), project management and reporting solutions to maintain user friendly methods for executing, tracking, and billing projects
