Director of Strategy & Business Operations
The Role:
We’re looking for a sharp, scrappy, and versatile Director of Strategy & Business Operations to join our lean team. You’ll be a thought partner to the executive team, diving deep into data, building models, and helping drive cross-functional strategic initiatives from idea to execution. If you’re equal parts analytical and action-oriented, and you thrive in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments, we’d love to meet you.
What You’ll Do:
Build and maintain detailed financial and operational models to support decision-making
Conduct scenario analysis and distill insights for the executive team
Work with large data sets to uncover trends and opportunities
Translate data and strategy into clear, compelling narratives and presentations
Collaborate across Product, Finance, Marketing, Sales, and Operations to move critical initiatives forward
Structure and help execute cross-functional projects that impact growth and efficiency
Bring clarity and structure to ambiguous problems
What We’re Looking For:
6 to 10 years of experience in consulting, investing, BizOps, or strategy roles at a fast-paced company
Fluency in Excel/Sheets and comfort working with SQL or similar data tools
Strong communicator: able to tailor messages to execs, operators, and technical teams alike
Ability to thrive in ambiguity and turn rough ideas into structured plans
Collaborative by default — you get things done through influence, not hierarchy
A bias for action, comfort with “80/20,” and a strong sense of ownership
Bonus Points For:
Experience in marketplaces, travel, or SaaS businesses
Exposure to fundraising, investor relations, or board communications
About Wander:
Wander is building the infrastructure for the future of travel — combining a luxury short-term rental platform with proprietary software tools that power operations, elevate the guest experience, and create a seamless connection between supply and demand. We recently closed our Series B and are scaling across both our software and marketplace businesses.
