Strategy and Operations Lead, Tutor

About the role We’re looking for a Strategy and Operations Lead to drive some of the most important and least-defined priorities within our Tutor business. This role exists because several critical initiatives—ranging from tutor community engagement to new growth opportunities, early-stage bets, and tutoring quality & safety systems—are currently unowned or fragmented across teams. You will take full ownership of these areas and drive them from idea to execution, ensuring they result in real, measurable outcomes. This is a high-impact, highly autonomous role. You’ll operate at the intersection of strategy and execution—identifying what needs to happen, creating structure where none exists, and making sure work actually gets done.
