About The Position

You’ll lead strategic, cross-functional initiatives and help the leadership team make data-driven, high-leverage decisions. This role will sit at the intersection of strategy, operations and cross-functional execution and blends structured problem-solving with hands-on execution—ideal for someone from consulting or strategy backgrounds who loves building in fast-moving environments. As Strategy & Operations Lead, you will own a portfolio of high‐impact, cross‐functional initiatives that don’t fit neatly into existing teams. You will help define and operationalize key strategic priorities for the company—from growth levers, process and system design, to planning cycles and cross‐team alignment. You will act as a strategic thought‐partner to the executive team, while also rolling up your sleeves to drive operational excellence, analytic clarity, and scalable frameworks. You’ll be wearing many different hats as you take on whatever is needed to help the business succeed, and setting the vision for the broader BizOps team.
