About Production Theory

We don’t just build projects—we create experiences. Our team blends R+D, creative design, and fabrication into a collaborative, high-energy environment where bold ideas come to life. Every team member is empowered to make an impact, and we thrive on projects that challenge, inspire, and drive growth—for our clients and for our people.

At scale, we’re focused on building strong internal infrastructure: clean financial discipline, thoughtful process design, and intelligent systems that reduce friction and elevate performance.

This role is central to that mission.

The Role

The Business Operations & Systems Manager serves the structural backbone of the company. You will build and enforce business systems, implement and optimize CRM and finance tools and integrate AI-driven automation to improve efficiency and visibility across the organization. You’ll also oversee the execution layer of finance operations.

This is not a clerical admin role. This role is for a systems-minded operator who creates clarity, discipline, and leverage. You will work closely with the C-Suite team and our senior accountant, acting as the bridge between day-to-day operations and strategic oversight.
