YOUR ROLE
We're seeking a Manager, Strategy & Operations to join our team, reporting to Katya Simpson, VP, Strategy and Ops.
You will be the operating backbone of the leadership team. You will run the rhythm that keeps the company aligned, keep the numbers everyone argues from shared and trusted, and own the contract and risk operations that let us move fast without dropping anything. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role in a small, nimble company. It blends business judgment with disciplined execution, and you will have wide latitude to decide how the operating system of the company gets built.
A note on what this role is: it is a roll-up-your-sleeves seat. Most of the work is operating cadence, tracking, and administration, and strategy is a real but lighter part of it. If you are looking for a pure strategy role, this is not it. If you want to be the person who makes a leadership team run well and sharpens its judgment, read on.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Management cadence and enablement (about 30%): Run the operating rhythm of the management team, the exec team, and the operating review: agendas, pre-reads, a lightweight decision log, and follow-through on what was decided. Produce board and investor meetings, assembling the decks and investor packages from numbers the Director of Finance owns. Partner with the Director of People to plan company onsites and team gatherings from start to finish.
- Measurement, tools, and risk (about 25%): Maintain the company's metrics and OKR tracking so performance conversations start from shared numbers. Keep the tools inventory and licensing in order, along with a risk register and a compliance calendar.
- Legal and contract operations (about 30%): Take the first pass on NDAs and standard agreements against a playbook, and route anything non-standard to outside counsel with a clear brief. Maintain the contract repository and an obligations tracker covering renewals, notice periods, and government reporting deliverables, so nothing slips. Run vendor onboarding and corporate records, including entity and cap table hygiene in Carta.
- Strategic projects (about 15%): Take on scoped projects for the leadership team: dig into an issue the metrics surface, frame the options and tradeoffs, and recommend a path to a decision. This is real strategy work, but it is the lighter share of the role.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THE FIRST 6-12 MONTHS
- The weekly management meeting runs on a clear agenda and pre-reads, leaders arrive prepared, and decisions and actions are logged and followed through without anyone chasing.
- Company OKRs and metrics are tracked on a steady rhythm, and you are surfacing the items that need leadership attention before anyone has to ask. You are supporting the rollout of the company-wide health dashboard as it comes online.
- NDA intake is yours: every incoming NDA is reviewed, risks are identified, and anything non-standard reaches outside counsel with a clear brief. Nothing we have signed goes untracked.
- You…
