Ops Leader (Chief of Staff / Head of Ops)
Definition: The person at a small company responsible for cross-functional execution — often the workspace tool owner.
What it is
An ops leader (titled chief of staff, head of ops, or similar) is the operational generalist at a 10–100 person company. They own cross-functional projects, vendor selection (including SaaS), and the operating cadence. Workspace product adoption is typically driven by an ops leader.
Why it matters
Ops leaders evaluate tools on TCO and consolidation potential — exactly the buying criteria that favor all-in-one workspaces.
