About The Position

We are looking for a growth-oriented strategy and operations leader to build and scale the systems that power our EC community and marketplace.

You will partner cross-functionally with Delivery, Product, Engineering, Supply, Marketing, and Analytics — designing scalable processes, insights, and programs that strengthen our expert network and improve contributors’ ability to succeed on our projects.
This role blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution and is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex operational challenges, aligning diverse stakeholders, and building durable infrastructure that enables the business to scale.

• Experience launching and scaling complex high-impact cross-functional initiatives with multiple stakeholders, including technical teams
• Strong executive communication skills (written, verbal, and visual), with a demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders without authority
• Ability to bring structure and clarity to ambiguous problem spaces and define a strategy
• High ownership, strong prioritization skills, and bias toward action
