Strategic Operations Leader — Cross-Functional Impact

Requirements 6–8 years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, finance, or similar generalist roles; prior experience in a similar role within tech is a plus but not required

• Strong business acumen and an analytical mindset — you understand how different parts of a business connect, and you use data and logic to drive decisions
• Sharp problem-solving skills with a bias toward action and continuous improvement
• Strong communication and storytelling ability — you can distill complex inputs into clear, actionable narratives
• Comfortable working across teams, driving alignment, and influencing without authority
• Highly organized, with a knack for building structure in ambiguous situations
• A systems thinker who cares about how an organization operates and how to make it better
