About this role

The Business Operations team is on a mission to identify and unlock “0 to 1” initiatives that provide the business with high option value. These are high leverage, strategic projects across the business - from operations, GTM, product, marketing, board/investors, special projects, and everything in between. We take the problem seriously, but not ourselves too seriously. Ultimately it is about building trust and making change.

As the Business Operations & Strategy Senior Manager, you will drive strategic initiatives across the company. This is a unique opportunity to join a growing team, at the ground level, and have a massive impact on creating the function. You will partner closely with leadership on special projects and big bets that will steer us to long-term success. The ideal candidate is an ex-consultant with SaaS or Tech experience keen to turn strategy into execution through strategic programs and operations.

About You

Thrive in ambiguity: Every initiative will be new, changing, full of surprises. We define what our priorities are, and pivot accordingly. We don’t get rattled by change.

Enjoy the cutting edge: Each topic will be new. There is no ‘expert’ to rely on - we learn, create the expertise, then educate the rest of the organization.

Enjoy the breadth of new things: We have to be comfortable as novices in a topic, and have the intellectual flexibility to work across all topics and functions.

Highly objective, structured thinker: We often use frameworks to evaluate decisions, pressure test our/others’ POVs, and are okay being wrong.

Communicate well: Both written and verbal are critical because this is about codifying a perspective and communicating to / implementing it with others.

Enjoy developing a POV from scratch: Start from first principles, gather data, gather input, propose a set of options, propose a crawl-walk-run approach.

You have a ‘hands-on’ / ‘just do it’ approach: “0 to 1” is no joke. This group is a true blue ocean - make something from nothing, and execute to make it a reality!

This is a fully remote opportunity and can be worked from any location in the United States.
