The Role

As a Strategy and Operations Manager on the BizOps team you will be responsible for providing actionable analyses to inform decision making throughout Linktree. Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Strategy and Operations, you will play a key role in the direction of the business, the prioritisation of activities, and the understanding of trends and behaviours.

We would love to hear from you if you have 4-6 years experience in management consulting, investment banking, tech, or similar. A demonstrated understanding of how tech companies work and the needs of engineers, product managers and marketers in their functional environments will be very helpful in this role too.

We are hoping you are super smart with a superhuman ability to get things done. We’ll need you to prioritise efficiently and have a clear framework for doing so. You’ll also need to be a great communicator, who can back up their opinions with a clearly justified rationale.

Given the nature of the role, it’s also critical that you’re comfortable with numbers and large data sets and have the ability to translate these into meaningful insights. Bonus points if you’re a weapon at G suite, Excel and Looker.

You should be someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, your plan for the day might be thrown out the window at 9am and that's fine with you. This isn't a do the tasks on the job description kind of role. It's constantly evolving, changing, and growing.

    • You will drive the implementation of your recommendations - draft project plans, timelines, seek feedback from leaders, iterate and execute. You will need to follow up and hold all leaders accountable for the outcomes/ deliverables

  • Be a point of contact for ad hoc requests for analysis and support from across the company

  • Set company targets, monitor them and regularly and effectively share progress with the company

  • Partner with the product team to help size opportunities and devise strategies for going after them

Who We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, business, engineering, computer science, or related field

  • 4-6 years of work experience in management consulting, investment banking, tech, or related industries

  • Experience deriving insights from data and motivated by having an impact on the shape and success of the business

  • Ability to not just read data, but interpret and translate it so that the wider team can draw value from your work

  • Working knowledge of SQL

  • Familiarity with data visualisation platforms (Looker a plus)

  • Deliver analytics & reporting to meet business needs and drive strategic decision-making

  • Strong communication skills - verbal and written - to be able to break down complex topics into simple solutions and ideas

  • Strong collaboration mentality

  • You can build strong relationships with stakeholders right across the business, from Growth and Brand Marketing to Design and Product, the role of the Strategy and Operations team is to support these functions to do their best work

  • Passion for growth and scale, and an understanding of the ambiguity that can come with this

  • Be comfortable acting as a sounding board to senior leadership on matters of strategy

Location Expectations: Hybrid. We're growing our team in LA and the Bay Area, and plan to have offices in both locations. We expect team members to come into their respective office 2x/week.
