Top Companies Hiring for Operations Jobs in New York (Oct 2026)

You want an operations job in New York and you need to know which employers are actually posting, not which ones have a careers page full of promises. The count is 141 open operations listings in New York as of 14 October 2026, taken from the JobRise live jobs feed on our New York operations jobs hub. That is a snapshot of open listings, not a market survey, and it shifts daily.

Of those 141, 101 went up in the last 30 days and 49 in the last 7 days. That is real movement. Apply this week.

Who is hiring right now#

Ten employers hold a big chunk of the open listings, and a few of them are recruiters or staffing firms, so check the posting before you assume the name on the listing is where you would actually sit.

• Ramp: 16 open listings
• Datadog: 11
• Justworks: 10
• Palantir: 9
• Stripe: 8
• FAO Schwarz: 6
• Duolingo: 6
• Brex: 5
• Alloy: 5
• Neuberger Berman: 4

The titles are all over the map. You get "Chief Administrative Officer - Technology, Operations & Business Enablement" at Neuberger Berman and "Seasonal Overnight Operations Lead" at FAO Schwarz in the same feed, plus "Credentialing Coordinator" at Atria Health and Research Institute, "Procurement Manager" at Magic Spoon, and "Studios & Creative Operations Coordinator" at Future Publishing. Same city, wildly different jobs. Read every posting on its own terms.

New York against the country#

New York's 141 operations listings sit inside 1,165 open listings across all categories in the city, and nationally there are 2,699 operations listings, so the city carries a solid share of the country's operations demand. For country-level movement and posting trends, read our hiring report for the United States. Treat the comparison as context, not a promise.

One city holding 141 of 2,699 is a concentration. It is not a guarantee you will land one.

What the job types tell you#

Full-time rules here: 137 of the 141 are full-time, with 3 part-time and 1 temporary. If you need flexibility, options are thin, and you should raise that early rather than after an offer lands on your desk. Say it in the first call.

Harder fact: 0 of 141 listings carry entry-level titles like intern, graduate, junior, or trainee. The market wants people who can run something on day one. If you are early career, aim at coordinator and specialist titles and get your transferable wins onto the page.

What pay looks like when it is shown#

Only 17 of the 141 listings show pay at all. When it does show up, it is precise. A few posted examples:

• "Product Manager | Procurement" at Ramp: $230K, $325K • Offers Equity
• "Senior Analyst, Global Mobility & Immigration" at Ramp: $79K, $154K • Offers Equity • Multiple Ranges
• "Talent Operations Specialist, Emerging Talent" at Ramp: $88K, $121K • Offers Equity
• "Product Operations Specialist | Procurement" at Ramp: $128K, $180K • Offers Equity
• "Product Operations Specialist | Travel" at Ramp: $128K, $180K • Offers Equity
• "Business Operations Lead" at Cohere: CA$140K, CA$260K • Offers Equity • Multiple Ranges

These are quoted as posted and are not a market rate. Ranges swing by level, scope, and equity mix, so verify current figures against the employer's own posting or official source before you negotiate. Ask anyway.

How to target each employer type#

Different employers read resumes differently. Adjust before you hit send.

For high-volume tech and fintech employers like Ramp, Datadog, Palantir, Stripe, Brex, Alloy, Justworks, and Duolingo, lead with systems and throughput: name the tooling you used, the volume you handled, and the cycle time you cut. Numbers beat adjectives. One hard metric does more work than a whole paragraph.

For retail and consumer employers like FAO Schwarz and Magic Spoon, lead with physical and seasonal reality: shift coverage, inventory flow, vendor pickups, holiday peaks. "Seasonal Overnight Operations Lead" is a night job. Say you can do nights.

For financial and institutional employers like Neuberger Berman, lead with control, accuracy, and discretion, because titles like "Chief Administrative Officer - Technology, Operations & Business Enablement" and "Administrative Coordinator" both live here and both need someone who keeps a process clean when the stakes are high. Show receipts. Be specific about audits and sign-offs.

For healthcare, media, and niche operators like Atria Health and Research Institute, Future Publishing, and Stranger Soccer, match the domain vocabulary: "Credentialing Coordinator" means compliance and records, and "License Owner & Operator, New York" means running a small operation yourself. Use their words back at them.

A rewritten bullet, before and after

Before: "Responsible for coordinating operations tasks across the team."

After: "Ran weekly scheduling for a 20-person operations team, cutting missed shifts from 6 per month to 0 over two quarters and owning the shared tracker end to end."

Same job. The second version shows what you can be trusted with.

Referral and outreach scripts that get replies#

Cold outreach works when it is short, specific, and easy to answer. Keep it tight.

Referral ask to a contact inside a target employer:

"Hi Sam, hope the week is treating you well. I saw [Employer] has a [Job Title] role open and it lines up with the scheduling and vendor work I did at [Company]. Would you be comfortable passing my resume along, or pointing me to the right recruiter? No pressure at all, and happy to return the favor."

Cold note to a hiring manager or ops lead:

"Hi [Name], I applied for [Job Title] and wanted to put a face to the application. At [Company] I [one concrete result, with a number]. The [specific responsibility in their posting] part of this role is exactly the work I want more of. If you have ten minutes this week or next, I would value the chance to hear what success looks like in the first 90 days."

Follow-up after applying, sent five to seven days later:

"Hi [Name], following up on my application for [Job Title] from [date]. I remain very interested, especially the [specific duty] piece. If the role is on hold or filled, a quick note back helps me plan. Thanks either way."

Keep every message under about 100 words. One ask per message.

FAQ#

Are these New York operations listings current?

All counts come from the JobRise live jobs feed dated 14 October 2026. Listings change daily, so treat the numbers as a snapshot and recheck before you plan around any single employer.

Why do some listings show recruiters or staffing firms?

Some employers hire through intermediaries, and the listing reflects who posted the role. Read the posting for worksite and contract terms, and ask directly whether the role is contract, contract-to-hire, or permanent.

Should I apply if the listing shows no salary?

You can, but ask about the range early. Only 17 of the 141 listings showed pay in this snapshot, so a posted range is the exception, not the norm.

I am early career and see zero entry-level titles. What now?

Target coordinator, assistant, and specialist titles and lead with any scheduling, tracking, or process work you have done. Volunteer work and campus jobs count if you can describe what you owned.

How long should I wait before following up?

Five to seven business days after applying is reasonable. One follow-up, then move on. Silence is common and usually says more about their process than about you.
