Senior Strategy & Operations Manager

Snorkel AI•Redwood City, CA

1d•$130,000 - $200,000

About The Position

We are hiring a Senior Strategy & Operations Manager to help run Snorkel's rapidly scaling Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) business. DaaS Operations is the centralized Strategy & Operations team reporting into the Head of DaaS, partnering across Supply, Delivery, GTM, Innovation, Finance, and Engineering to keep the business running with rigor and scaling efficiently as complexity grows. In this role, you will move fluidly across the most important problems in the business — operating cadences and planning cycles, capacity and supply planning, project execution and quality, customer outcomes, and the new operating functions we are standing up as DaaS scales. You will own end-to-end workstreams that don't have a clear home, build the operating systems behind them, and partner closely with the leaders of each function to turn strategy into measurable execution. This is a high-impact role suited for a strong operator who thrives in ambiguity, brings structure to fast-moving environments, and can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
