Product Strategy and Operations Director
About The Position
Fetch is seeking a Product Strategy & Operations Director to drive high-priority strategic and operational initiatives across the Product & Technology organization. In this high-impact senior individual contributor role, you’ll help shape organizational direction, drive prioritization and investment decisions, and improve how Product, Technology, Growth, Marketing, and Go-To-Market teams operate together. You’ll partner closely with senior leadership (including CPO, CTO) to bring structure to ambiguous problems, improve operating rhythms, and ensure strategic priorities translate into measurable business outcomes. This role requires someone who can operate at both the strategic and operational level — moving fluidly between long-term planning, organizational problem-solving, and hands-on execution. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, analytics, and execution. You’ll help connect company strategy to product direction, roadmap prioritization, operational decision-making, and cross-functional execution across some of the company’s most important growth initiatives. This role is best suited for someone who is comfortable stepping into undefined spaces, identifying what matters most, and independently driving progress across teams and leadership stakeholders. The ideal candidate is highly analytical, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and able to influence organizational direction through strong judgment, structured thinking, and operational leadership. This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US offices or remotely in the United States.

- Proven ability to drive multi-functional initiatives from strategy through execution in fast-paced, high-growth environments.

- Shape operating models, planning processes, and cross-functional decision-making frameworks across teams.
- Ensure strategic initiatives are properly prioritized, sequenced, and executed across functions.
- Identify operational friction, dependency gaps, and execution risks before they become larger organizational issues.
- Lead multi-quarter strategic initiatives tied to company growth and product strategy.
- Conduct deep-dive analyses on product performance, operational trends, user behavior, and business impact.
- Translate complex analyses into actionable recommendations and executive-level narratives.
- Build frameworks, metrics, and reporting that improve prioritization, investment decisions, and organizational effectiveness.
