The operations officer, also referred to as the operations management officer, was a Starfleet position within the operations division which was common in the 24th century. (citation needed • edit) Operations officers manned the ops station on a bridge. (citation needed • edit)
On the starship USS Enterprise-D, Lieutenant Commander Data served as the operations management officer and doubled as Second Officer, the most senior member of the ship's crew after the Captain and First Officer. (citation needed • edit) On the starship USS Voyager, Operations Officer Ensign Harry Kim was the most junior bridge officer. (citation needed • edit)
As analytical operations relied upon knowledge of science and engineering disciplines, operations officers often performed the additional duties of a science officer, especially when a dedicated science officer was absent. (TNG: "Conundrum"; VOY: "Caretaker", etc.)
This designation was also used on one occasion to describe Chief of Operations Miles O'Brien during his assignment aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Facets")
In an alternate timeline, Daniel Byrd was the operations officer on Voyager instead of Harry Kim, who had remained on Earth. (VOY: "Non Sequitur")
