About the role:

As Strategic Operations Manager, you will serve as a strategic and operational partner supporting senior product leadership. In this role, you will help define the business’s strategic priorities, drive operational excellence, and ensure the organization executes with agility, transparency, and measurable outcomes.

The impact you'll make:

• Drive business impact as a key advisor and thought partner to BU leadership.

• Inform key BU decisions through rigorous problem solving - from hypothesis development to data-driven analysis to executive-ready recommendations.

• Lead data-driven prioritization of resourcing and initiatives.

• Manage cross-functional initiatives and programs.

• Own business reviews and planning activities, and support alignment between BU leaders and other stakeholders (C-Level, other functions).

• 8+ years of relevant work experience (with 2+ years post-MBA or equivalent higher degree preferred).

• Strong preference for experience in a top management consulting firm, private equity firm, investment bank, or strategy & operations at a technology company.

• Strong data analytics and problem-solving skills (PowerBI, Tableau, Excel). SQL is a plus.

• Effective written and oral communicator; comfortable in business and technical discussions.

• Track record of leading cross-functional projects.

• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and driving to clarity without heavy direction.
