Business Operations & Strategy Manager

147k – 169kSan Francisco, CABusiness OperationsHybrid2+ YOE
Summary

Leads cross-functional strategic initiatives including pricing, market analysis, and process improvements at a high-growth B2B SaaS company. Requires 2-5 years in analytical roles with strong problem-solving and stakeholder alignment skills.

About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own and execute high-priority, cross-functional initiatives from problem definition through implementation
  • Drive pricing & packaging decisions and initiatives (e.g., plan migrations) by combining market context with data-driven analysis and recommendations
  • Conduct strategic analyses including TAM sizing, competitive landscape, and growth driver identification (e.g., attractiveness of new verticals, product capabilities, etc.)
  • Improve core business processes (e.g., planning cycles, OKRs, internal workflow automation) to increase clarity and execution across teams
  • Operate as a generalist — stepping into new problem spaces quickly and building structure where none exists

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of experience in a highly analytical, strategic role in professional services (e.g., management consulting, investment banking, investing) and/or high-growth startups
  • Strong structured and hypothesis-driven problem solving, with comfort leveraging data to make decisions
  • Excellent cross-functional program leadership — you can align stakeholders, define milestones, and remove blockers in order to drive projects end-to-end and deliver outcomes in an ambiguous environment
  • Ability to move between strategy and execution — you’re as comfortable building a lightweight model and recommending a strategy as you are diving into details to drive a project forward
  • Clear, concise executive communication (written and verbal), including slide craft and narrative building
  • Bias toward action, high attention to detail, and a growth mindset; curiosity about AI tools and workflows and interest in building foundational systems and processes as the company scales

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with B2B SaaS
  • Pricing & Packaging experience
  • Familiarity with SQL or willingness to learn
  • Mix of professional services + operating role experience
