Director of Strategy & Business Operations

The Role:

We’re looking for a sharp, scrappy, and versatile Director of Strategy & Business Operations to join our lean team. You’ll be a thought partner to the executive team, diving deep into data, building models, and helping drive crossfunctional strategic initiatives from idea to execution. If you’re equal parts analytical and actionoriented, and you thrive in fastpaced, highambiguity environments, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do:

• Build and maintain detailed financial and operational models to support decisionmaking

• Conduct scenario analysis and distill insights for the executive team

• Work with large data sets to uncover trends and opportunities

• Translate data and strategy into clear, compelling narratives and presentations

• Collaborate across Product, Finance, Marketing, Sales, and Operations to move critical initiatives forward

• Structure and help execute crossfunctional projects that impact growth and efficiency

• Bring clarity and structure to ambiguous problems

• What We’re Looking For:

  • 6 to 10 years of experience in consulting, investing, BizOps, or strategy roles at a fastpaced company

  • Fluency in ExcelSheets and comfort working with SQL or similar data tools

  • Strong communicator: able to tailor messages to execs, operators, and technical teams alike

  • Ability to thrive in ambiguity and turn rough ideas into structured plans

  • Collaborative by default — you get things done through influence, not hierarchy

  • A bias for action, comfort with “8020,” and a strong sense of ownership

  • Bonus Points For:

    • Experience in marketplaces, travel, or SaaS businesses

    • Exposure to fundraising, investor relations, or board communications
