Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations (Consumer Protection Team)

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It's hard to believe that it's 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We're here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?

About the role

The Flex Consumer Protection Team is seeking a highly strategic and analytical person to ensure that we deliver an excellent experience across all touchpoints of the customer journey. Working closely with Strategy & Operations, Analytics, Data Science, and customer-facing departments such as Product and Customer Success, this role will identify and quantify customer experience insights and pain points, collaborate on solutions, and build the systems we use to optimize product and service quality for the future. The ideal candidate must have a passion for customer impact, robust analytical toolkit, strong collaboration skills, and the tenacity to solve problems and drive prioritization through uncertainty.

As a Senior Manager, Strategy & Operations (CPT) you'll partner directly with the Director of the Consumer Protection Team to drive some of our highest-impact projects. This is an exceptional opportunity for a gritty, entrepreneurial problem-solver with a genuine commitment to consumer impact, able to toggle between strategy and execution. This role will provide frequent exposure to Flex Founders and Executive Team, giving hands-on experience with what it takes to lead and operate a world-class consumer fintech. The ideal candidate will be comfortable producing both rigorous data analysis and exec-ready deliverables from day one, working autonomously or together with your team.

This is a hybrid position with on-site expectations of 3 days per week in our New York Headquarters. For candidates outside of the NY/NJ area, you may be eligible for our relocation assistance program.
