Operations Lead, Strategic Growth InitiativesDepartment: Strategy
Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: Remote USA - In Tandem
Compensation: $150,000 - $170,000 / year
DescriptionAs an
Operations Lead, Strategic Growth Initiatives, you will be a strategic operator who brings structure to ambiguity, aligns cross-functional teams, and moves high-priority growth initiatives from idea to execution. Reporting to the VP of Operations, you will work across Product, Go-To-Market, Operations, Partnerships, Finance, Legal, and leadership to strengthen how In Tandem executes. You will move fluidly between strategy and hands-on implementation, using AI as a practical tool to increase speed, quality, and operating leverage.
What you will accomplish:- Run a tight executive operating cadence, including weekly leadership meetings, monthly business reviews, board preparation, leadership offsites, and the metrics and narratives that anchor decision-making.
- Turn company goals into clear operating frameworks such as OKRs and KPIs, surface risks early, and drive follow-through on decisions and commitments.
- Evaluate and execute partnership and business development opportunities through market mapping, research, opportunity sizing, diligence, outreach preparation, testing, and execution planning.
- Lead high-priority, cross-functional special projects that matter to company growth, from strategic analyses and process redesigns to product launches, commercial experiments, and new-market opportunities.
- Use AI tools daily to accelerate research, synthesis, planning, documentation, communication, and workflow design; build lightweight AI-enabled workflows, prompts, templates, and internal tools that help teams move faster.
- Create repeatable playbooks, dashboards, launch plans, operating metrics, and other systems that improve clarity, accountability, speed, and measurement as the company grows.
Who you are:- A high-ownership operator who is energized by ambiguity and can create structure without waiting for perfectly defined responsibilities.
- A structured, analytical problem-solver with strong business judgment who can move from sizing an opportunity to making sure the right follow-ups actually happen.
- A trusted cross-functional partner who builds credibility across Product, GTM, Operations, Finance, Legal, Partnerships, and leadership.
- Action-oriented and comfortable getting into the details; you care as much about implementation and outcomes as you do about the quality of the strategy.
- Curious and pragmatic about AI, with a habit of actively using new tools to improve your own work and the way teams operate.
What you bring:- 4+ years of experience across strategy, operations, product operations, business operations, growth, partnerships, consulting, investing, banking, or a similarly high-ownership environment.
- Ideally, a mix of strategy training and meaningful operating experience inside a company-for example, consulting or investing followed by 1-2 years in an operations, growth, product, partnerships, or business role.
- Experience in SaaS, consumer technology, marketplaces, healthcare technology, fintech, or another technology-enabled business.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives in fast-moving environments while managing multiple workstreams, stakeholders, and deadlines.
- Experience supporting product launches, GTM initiatives, strategic partnerships, commercial experiments, or growth projects.
- High comfort with AI tools and genuine curiosity about how AI can improve business operations, productivity, and decision-making.
- Nice to have: experience working closely with Product and Engineering; partnerships, BD, channel strategy, or ecosystem development; automation/workflow platforms such as Claude, Notion AI, Airtable, or Zapier; and building dashboards, operating metrics, launch plans, internal playbooks, or executive reporting.
What we're not looking for:- Someone who has only advised from the outside and has not owned execution inside a company.
- Someone who is purely a project manager without strong strategic, analytical, or commercial judgment.
- Someone who is interested in AI only conceptually, but does not actively use AI tools in their own work.
- Someone who needs highly defined responsibilities and struggles with ambiguity.
- Someone who produces strategy documents but does not enjoy driving implementation.
