The opportunityAs a member of Column's Business Operations team, you will be responsible for helping lay the foundation for the company's next decade of growth. This team will own Column's most important strategic and operational initiatives, with a heavy focus on designing new operating systems that will directly impact our ability to scale. Individuals in this role will serve as the "GM" of a particular product or project, diving deep into a wide range of challenges, while working alongside senior leadership at Column to take our business to the next level.
This position will be based in our San Francisco office in the Presidio, with regular travel throughout the United Sates. You can expect to be on the road 50%+ of the time, often embedded on-site for 2-4 weeks at a time.
What you'll do- Own the strategy and operations for our most critical scaling initiatives
- Find the biggest bottlenecks to scale, then design and ship the products and workflows that remove them
- Drive decisions around "build vs. buy" strategies for new tooling and systems we need to drive automation and scale
- Spend time on-site with operators to understand workflows firsthand and turn what you learn into product and operational decisions
- Own execution end to end, driving timelines, alignment, and accountability on execution across the team
What you'll need to be successful- 7+ years of experience in strategy and business operations in a high-growth environment; prior experience at a top-tier management consulting firm strongly preferred
- Ability to jump into new situations and quickly solve problems, with an eye toward architecting solutions that will scale
- Experience influencing and managing multiple stakeholders with varying priorities, and getting them to commit to executing against a shared goal
- Hyper-organized approach to project management, including coordinating efforts across multiple teams; comfort juggling multiple projects and priorities is critical
- Scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude - we thrive because we work harder, are more creative, and have zero ego when it comes to getting our hands dirty to build a business
- Familiarity with the banking and fintech industries is preferred, but not required - an interest in becoming an expert in this space, however, is a must
What you'll get from us- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans, including options that are 100% covered by Column for you and 100% covered for your dependents!

- Flexible time-off policy - take the time off that you want and need to relax and recharge
- 100% paid parental leave, including 16 weeks for birth mothers, 12 weeks for primary caregivers, and 8 weeks for secondary caregivers
- Up to $4,500 in annual reimbursements for backup childcare
- Catered lunches and dinners for SF employees
