Position Summary

The Global Verticals Strategy & Operations organization plays an instrumental role in accelerating growth and scale across this portfolio. The team sits at the center of the organization and ensures cross-functional operational excellence as well as shaping the strategy in support of the Global Verticals leadership.

Members of the team have a dual mentality: both that of a strategic leader—who has a deep understanding of the dynamics of two-sided marketplaces, can break down tough problems into clear frameworks, operate in ambiguity, and possesses strong data intuition and executive-ready communications—as well as someone who can move quickly and decisively as an embedded operator not afraid to get their hands dirty.

We are looking to hire a Manager / Senior Manager for Planning & Business Operations focused on our Electronics and Home & Garden verticals. This person will report into the Director of Planning & Business Operations for Global Verticals.

Role is best suited for someone based in select markets to maximize working hour overlap with leaders on the West Coast of the US and in Europe. Some travel to both locations will be expected as well on an annual basis.

What You’ll Do

• Steward the annual planning process for your vertical, partnering with Electronics and Home & Garden leadership globally to bring their strategies to life, while helping to identify scale opportunities across Global Verticals
• Drive rigor from planning through execution, collaborating across a broad cross-functional team (product, marketing, analytics, finance, business development, pricing, and others) to formalize processes and unblock barriers to delivery
• Manage ongoing business cadences (e.g., business performance reviews, initiative deep dives) to effectively track progress against plans
• Support creation of executive presentation materials for global verticals leadership up through the c-suite
• Serve as a strategic thought partner to the Electronics and Home & Garden leadership team
• Identify, design and execute on process improvements focused on creating a more effective and efficient Global Verticals organization
• …and as the Strategy & Operations team scales, contribute to end-to-end solution development behind select strategic programs
  
  
  

Who You Are

• Exceptional executive-level communicator (verbal and written)
• Understands all the pieces of a complex global business (key drivers), can synthesize those pieces into a unified narrative, and then highlight “what really matters” to leaders for effective decision making
• Will take the lead in maintaining operating discipline and driving excellence in how we run the business
• Can be autonomous and self-reliant, while also serving as a cross-functional leader who is also recognized as a collaborator and partner
• Takes a data-driven approach to planning and decision making.
• Organized problem solver who balances attention to detail with efficiency
• Ambition to grow professionally and willingness to work hard, learn/adapt, and provide feedback both upward and to peer teams
  
  
  

Qualifications

• 6 - 8+ years of related experience, including 2+ years at a top-tier management consulting firm or investment bank, and 2+ years in a strategic planning and/or business operations role at a major corporation
• Industry experience in consumer goods, retail, e-commerce, or consumer tech
