Manager, Strategy & Operations

About the role

Juno serves members across the life of their loans, from paying for school to refinancing after graduation. You'll work directly with a member of Juno's executive team to decide where we invest our time and capital along that path.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate performance. Assess the historical results of our partners, events, and initiatives, from first touch through funded in-school and refinance loans.
• Set priorities. Build the ROI case for new initiatives and decide which schools, partners, and segments to prioritize each season.
• Connect school to refinance. Identify distribution channels with access to borrowers looking to refinance and build a plan to capture these opportunities.
• Expand the lender marketplace. Lead diligence and onboarding for new lenders across both in-school loans and refinance.
• Run the operating cadence. Set milestones and metrics with each business unit and track every initiative through to results.
• Lead where needed. Step into key business roles as needs arise, taking hands-on ownership of a team or function to fill leadership gaps, launch new initiatives, or accelerate growth.

Requirements

• Background: 2 to 5 years in management consulting, investment banking, private equity, or a strategy role at a high-growth company.
• Analytical rigor. You turn complex data into clear recommendations, using SQL and financial modeling to build the analysis yourself.
• Commercial judgment. You distinguish activity from impact and will recommend scaling what works and winding down what doesn't.
• Execution. You carry initiatives from analysis through implementation and keep cross-functional teams aligned on owners and deadlines.
• Technical leverage. When the tool you need doesn't exist, you build it with AI tooling and APIs.
• The X-Factor: You're candid: you bring leadership difficult conclusions along with the data behind them. You're persuasive: you can align partners, lenders, and business unit leaders around a single plan.
