## Role Summary

Rowan Digital Infrastructure is seeking a Director, Business Operations to run Rowan’s external governance program. This person will be the central point for how Rowan prepares for and runs meetings with its equity sponsors and their representatives on Rowan's board (members), including quarterly member meetings and the regular twice-monthly connects. They will own the calendar, the materials and the follow-through, so every meeting gets timely, high-quality content and ends with clear decisions.

The role also owns Rowan’s record of member approvals: the approvals data set, the reporting built on it, and the process and standards behind it. They will use that approval data to lead reviews of Rowan’s Delegation of Authority, the policy that sets who can approve what and at what level, and recommend changes as the business grows.

The ideal candidate is a strong operator who brings structure to complex, cross-functional work. They are comfortable with senior leaders and equity sponsors, write and edit with precision, work easily with data, and improve the process every cycle. Governance experience is a plus. Judgment, rigor and the ability to make a process run well at scale matter more.

Travel: Ability to travel up to 25% for equity sponsor meetings, company gatherings and other key meetings. Location: Denver, CO (hybrid in-office role) Compensation: $175K - $215K (Offers Bonus)

Essential Responsibilities Equity Sponsor Meetings and Materials

- Own the annual calendar for Rowan’s equity sponsor governance meetings, including quarterly member meetings and twice-monthly connects
- Partner across Business Operations, Investor Relations and Rowan functions to define meeting agendas, content, track owners and deadline
- Run the materials process from request to final package: templates, timelines, review cycles, version control and distribution
- Hold a high bar on quality. Check every package for accuracy, consistent numbers and dates across pages, and a clear ask on each decision item
- Coach presenters and content owners across Rowan on what members need to see to make a decision
- Capture decisions and action items after each meeting and track them to close.
- Partner with the lead for Rowan’s internal approvals committee so items move cleanly from internal review to member approval

Approvals Reporting and Delegation of Authority

- Own the register of member approvals and resolutions: data standards, numbering, entry, quality checks and reconciliation to approved amounts
- Build and run reporting on approval activity, such as volumes, dollars by category and project, cycle times, and items that miss the planned meeting, using Smartsheet and Power BI
- Use approval data to lead periodic reviews of the Delegation of Authority. Recommend threshold and policy changes, and work with Legal and Finance to put them in place
- Work with Legal, Finance and Accounting so approvals connect cleanly to contracting, finance setup and purchasing

Process Improvement and Best Practices

- Document governance processes, templates and playbooks so the work runs without depending on any one person
- Review each major meeting cycle with stakeholders and act on what needs to change
- Work across Rowan teams to spread good practice in decision-making, approvals and equity sponsor communication
- Help scale the governance function as Rowan grows

Education, Skills, and Experience

- Bachelor’s degree in business administration, finance or a related field, or equivalent experience. MBA preferred.
- 8–12 years in business operations, strategy, management consulting or a similar role, ideally in a high-growth or investor-backed company.
- Experience preparing materials for boards, investors or executive leadership, and running the process behind them.
- Working knowledge of approval frameworks and decision rights. Experience with a delegation of authority policy is a plus.
- Track record of designing and improving cross-functional processes, and making the changes stick.
- Comfort with data: building trackers, cleaning data and turning it into clear reporting. Advanced Excel required; Smartsheet and Power BI strongly preferred.
- Excellent PowerPoint and written communication skills, with a sharp eye for errors.
- Ability to influence senior leaders without direct authority.
- Sound judgment with confidential information.
- Experience in infrastructure, energy, real estate or data center development is a plus.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, highly cross-functional environment.
