The Role
We’re looking for a Strategy and Commercial Lead to help shape and evolve the Operations strategy as we scale, for a 12 months' caregiver leave period.
You’ll help leadership make better decisions by bringing together performance insight, financial analysis, strategic thinking, and structured problem solving. You’ll play an important role in making sure our priorities, investments, and execution stay aligned as Operations grows in scale and complexity.
This is a high ownership role for someone who is comfortable moving between big picture strategy and detailed analysis, and who enjoys working across teams to turn ambiguity into clarity and action.
🔑 You’ll play a key role by...
- Helping shape and continually evolve the Operations strategy, ensuring our priorities, trade-offs, and investments stay aligned to customer outcomes, operational resilience, and long-term efficiency.
- Driving commercial visibility and performance management across Operations, including P&L monitoring, analysis, and identifying the biggest opportunities to improve unit economics over time.
- Translating strategy, performance, and progress into clear recommendations and decision support for senior leaders.
- Partnering closely with teams across Operations, Product, Engineering, and Finance to connect strategy to delivery and make sure the highest value work moves forward.
- Owning the management and coordination of the Operations Roadmap, ensuring there is a clear view of progress, risks, dependencies, and decisions, and identifying where plans are off track or outcomes are not landing as intended so the right changes can be made to improve pace and impact.
- [stretch] Driving a small number of high-impact cross-functional initiatives that improve the scalability, efficiency, and profitability of Operations (e.g., goodwill).
