Are you someone who has drive, analytical skills, tactical solutioning skills, and a desire to build things with talented people? Are you always coming up with a plan and making things better? Do you break down complex problems and communicate ideas clearly and succinctly?

What makes you the right fit for Biz Ops? First, you are used to working with really talented, multidisciplinary people. You have serious proof of internal drive – either from your time balancing athletics with a full course load, finishing major initiatives like getting your four year degree in two years, or setting an intense multiyear goal and completing it. You are an open person who is receptive to feedback and new ideas. You are a good communicator – organized, prioritized, and not afraid to bring awareness to new challenges surfacing in a rapidly scaling team and product.

• Product/feature launches - collaborate closely with teams across the organization including Operations, Product, Design, and Engineering to identify and clear blockers to ensure an on-time product or feature launch

Who you are:

• Telescopic mindset - able to zoom out to see the big picture and set the direction/roadmap of a project/product/initiative and then zoom in to execute

• Thrives when dealing with ambiguity and frequent changes that happen in a rapidly-growing company. Takes the initiative and is resourceful to dive deep into unfamiliar subject matter to gain a working knowledge to take a task and run with it

• Organized and an excellent communicator. Able to direct communications and direct traffic between different stakeholders with differing amounts of context

• Humility - shows a willingness to roll up one’s sleeves and do the work necessary to finish a task/initiative

• Quantitative skills (including modeling) combined with a keen business acumen. Can take an abstract business concept and break it down into core components and model out the dependencies and relationships between them. Proficient with Excel

• 2+ years in strategy consulting at a top firm (MBB), business operations at a high standards company, or investment banking.. It is a plus if you have an MBA or experience as an entrepreneur. We prefer someone with 6+ total years of work experience
