Full Job Description
1. About the Opportunity

We are looking for a Business Operations & Strategy Lead to work closely with our SVP of Corporate Development and help drive some of MoonPay's highest-priority strategic initiatives.

This is a high-impact, highly cross-functional role at the intersection of strategy, business operations, and corporate development. You will act as a force multiplier for the SVP, helping translate strategic priorities into clear plans, driving complex initiatives forward, and ensuring alignment and accountability across teams.

You'll work across a broad range of topics, from supporting strategic transactions and partnerships to improving operating cadence and tackling high-priority projects that don't sit neatly within a single team. The ideal candidate combines strong strategic judgment with an operator mindset: someone who can move seamlessly from structuring an ambiguous problem to getting into the details required to deliver an outcome.
2. What you will do
  • Partner closely with the SVP of Corporate Development to translate strategic priorities into clear plans, workstreams, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
  • Lead high-priority strategic and cross-functional initiatives from definition through execution, bringing structure and momentum to complex or ambiguous problems.
  • Support corporate development priorities, including strategic transactions, partnerships, investments, and other opportunities that accelerate MoonPay's growth.
  • Drive alignment across senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams, identifying dependencies, resolving blockers, and ensuring critical decisions and actions move forward.
  • Build and continuously improve operating cadences, including prioritisation, planning, decision-making processes, and tracking against key objectives.
  • Develop high-quality strategic analysis and materials that synthesize complex information, surface key trade-offs, and enable senior leadership to make informed decisions.
3. About You
  • You have significant experience in a high-performance environment such as business operations, strategy, corporate development, investing, consulting, or a similarly analytical and execution-focused role.
  • You are an exceptional operator who can take ambiguous, complex problems, create structure, establish priorities, and drive work through to measurable outcomes.
  • You have strong commercial and strategic judgment, with the ability to analyze opportunities, understand trade-offs, and connect individual initiatives to broader company objectives.
  • You have experience influencing senior stakeholders and coordinating complex work across multiple functions without relying on formal authority.
  • You thrive in fast-moving, high-accountability environments and are equally comfortable developing a strategic recommendation, diving into the details, and ensuring execution happens.
