Head of Strategy & Operations

Responsibilities

• Partner with the leadership team to define and operationalize strategy across segments — translating it into clear, trackable initiatives, operating plans, and execution frameworks, and driving cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Product and GTM, so key priorities move forward with speed and accountability.
• Design and run operating cadences including planning cycles, quarterly business reviews (QBRs), forecast reviews, and executive forums, ensuring clear decision-making, accountability, and follow-through; serve as the primary integrator across functions, driving clarity on ownership, handoffs, and interdependencies.
• Architect and systematize the company's operating functions — finance, legal, compliance, hiring, and ops — building systems designed for hyper-growth that are audit-ready by default; identify organizational bottlenecks and design scalable processes to support growth, including org design, capacity planning, and prioritization as the business evolves.
• Oversee company-wide planning and performance management in partnership with Finance, ensuring consistent metrics, dashboards, and insights inform decision-making across the business.
• Synthesize market signals into a coherent company narrative, prepare board and investor materials, and support fundraising processes end-to-end — data rooms, decks, investor narratives, and diligence management.

Requirements

• 10+ years in Strategy, Operations, Technical Program Management, or Product — with a proven track record driving complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea to completion.
• Demonstrated experience building or scaling business operations (finance, legal, compliance) in a high-growth startup environment.
• Strong track record designing and running operating cadences — QBRs, forecast reviews, planning cycles, executive forums — with clear accountability and follow-through.
• Experience partnering with Finance on company-wide planning, forecasting, and attaining company goals.
• Strong technical fluency: able to engage credibly with engineers, and identify technical growth opportunities.
• Track record supporting or leading fundraising end-to-end — data rooms, decks, investor narratives, and diligence management.
• Comfort pressure-testing leadership thinking in high-stakes settings — surfaces blind spots and challenges assumptions constructively.
• Hands-on with automation tooling and AI agents — default instinct is to eliminate operational drag through systems, not headcount.
• Builder's mentality: designs for 100x scale from day one.
