Full Job Description
About the Role

You'll report directly to Vibe's CFO and own business operations focused on strategic planning and analysis across product, revenue, marketing, and supply. This role involves turning big decisions into a documented, quantified case - the analysis that shows what to build, why, and how it compares to the alternatives. That work matters most heading into annual planning, where we want every initiative backed by real numbers, and as executive forums call for a clear narrative on how the business is performing. You'll get company-wide aperture, a direct line to the CFO, and the chance to build the frameworks the exec team uses to make its biggest calls.

What You'll Do

Strategic Planning
  • Lead the analytical pre-work behind Vibe's annual planning cycle
  • Size the dollar opportunity behind competing initiatives to inform prioritization
  • Map how decisions get made today across product, revenue, marketing, and supply

Framework Building
  • Build trade-off frameworks that quantify competing business levers where none exist
  • Design a framework for supply make-vs-buy and production decisions
  • Pinpoint where gut calls currently substitute for data, then close that gap

Executive & Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Build the analytical capability to explain business performance to executive forums
  • Partner directly with the CFO to prioritize the highest-leverage analysis
  • Find your own highest-ROI work without a pre-built roadmap
What You Need
  • 5-7 years in business operations, consulting, or banking, with hands-on analytical work - not process-building or coordination
  • Built at least one decision framework from scratch that quantified trade-offs between competing business priorities
  • Sized the dollar opportunity behind an initiative and used it to win a prioritization argument
  • Led strategic or annual planning pre-work that directly shaped a roadmap decision
  • Worked independently to find and pursue high-leverage analysis without a defined mandate
  • Used AI as part of core analytical work, not just as a shortcut
Nice to Haves
  • Held a similar business operations role in-house
  • Experience in consumer marketplaces or logistics-heavy businesses where trade-off frameworks are common
  • Comfortable naming a gap where no framework exists, then building one from scratch
  • Track record calibrating analytical rigor across multiple business functions, not just one
Our Values

At Vibe, we run on three values: Impact, Ambition, and Urgency. We tie every goal to a real business outcome, think 10x rather than settling for good enough, and move daily rather than waiting for perfect conditions.

You'll thrive here if you own outcomes without needing direction, default to action, and hold yourself to results, not effort.

This is a high-performance environment with high-performance rewards: you'll work alongside people who push you, with real ownership over hard problems in a market that's moving fast.

If that sounds like the best version of your career, we want to meet you.

What We Offer

For candidates in New York City, NY, the pay range for this role is 160,000-220,000.

At Vibe, we want you to build something, own something, and grow fast. Here's how we back that up:
  • Variable pay - based on objectives you hit. No arbitrary targets.
  • Hybrid flexibility - We're in NYC's Flatiron District and our team is in 3x a week!
  • Full health coverage - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with matching - We invest in your future, not just your output.
  • Unlimited PTO - Take the time you need. We measure results, not hours.
  • Parental leave - Paid leave for all parents.
  • Annual offsite - The whole team, once a year, somewhere worth the trip.
Our Interview Process

We respect your time. Here's exactly what to expect - no surprises, no ghosting.
  • Recruiter screen - 30 min. We'll share context; you'll share yours.
  • Manager interview - Meet the person you'd work with directly.
  • Take-home assignment + live debrief - A real problem, not a trick. We'll work through it together.
