This role requires a strong blend of strategy, operations, and analytical thinking, along with the ability to bring structure to ambiguity and drive cross-functional execution in a fast-paced environment.

• Experience in strategy & operations, program management, product operations, or business operations roles (startup or scale-up environment preferred)
• Strong business modeling skills, including revenue, cost, and margin analysis using Excel or Google Sheets
• Proven ability to manage cross-functional projects and drive structured execution without direct authority
• Comfort working in ambiguous environments and translating ideas into structured, actionable plans
