Job description
The Director of Strategy and Planning will lead high priority projects across the regions at the direction of our Head of Global Operations. Based out of the HQ office in San Francisco, the candidate will need to provide hands-on leadership to help design, prioritize, and implement projects of varying scale. Leveraging operational and analytical success from challenging environments in the past, this role will be instrumental in driving our business forward. We’re looking for someone who can set a vision, solve problems from 30,000 feet as well as dive into the details and be involved in the day-to-day.
WHAT YOU’LL DO * Thought Leadership: Working closely with Strategy and Planning Leads and RGMs across the regions * Program/Project Management: Be a hustling multi-tasker, supporting city teams across the country. You’ll be THE go to person for many key initiatives, not just for Operations, but across key teams within the organization. * Process improvement: Identify operational and structural weaknesses and help improve or innovate new processes to keep our local teams and regional teams as efficient as possible * Scale: Build, maintain, and communicate detailed reporting models to assist city-level, regional, and expansion efforts. * Build Relationships: Interface with other functional areas (Engineering, Business Development, People Operations, Product, Legal, etc.) to ensure efficient and productive working relationships. * Lead by example: Be incredibly truth-seeking and finger-tippy with data, set a high bar for the team to think boldly and creatively and then to funnel that energy into concrete products and execution plans, move fast, be biased toward action.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED * 12+ years of investment banking / consulting / business intelligence / strategy or related experience; high-growth operations experience is a must. * Exceptional communication and organization skills * Ability to work with remote teams and across time zones, develop strategies and foster a cohesive and creative work environment. Lead initiatives with teams across the US, set challenging targets, implement guidelines and monitor progress. * Balance attention to detail with swift execution - we need to do things quickly, and we need to do them well. Balancing those can be challenging, and this should be a strength * Explorer - the ability to self-serve, investigate and get the data we require will make you much more effective in this role. Self-starter attitude is a must! * A high bar across the board - from your own contributions to the people you work with to the products you work on. * A “driver” personality - biased toward action, great collaborator and master disambiguator/simplifier - constantly pushing toward clarity and delivery. * Grittiness. You never hesitate to roll up your sleeves and tackle something hands-on, you persevere when others fall away. * BS from top university. MBA highly preferred.
