This role functions as an 18-to-24-month leadership incubator / launch pad. Your mandate is to join the team, ramp quickly, take on our largest, most entangled operational initiatives, prove your impact, and then transition into the broader business to run a major operational function, geography, or business unit. If you are successful, you won't be in this role in two years.There is no business-as-usual in Strategy & Ops. You will be deployed against the company’s most urgent, high-stakes operational priorities. You will report to the VP of Business Operations under the Office of the President and have direct, unfiltered visibility with our Leadership Team and functional leads.We are explicitly looking for an Operational Architect: someone who excels at running complex, multi-threaded programs (e.g., post-merger integrations, global operating model redesigns, cross-functional system migrations). You carry the program on your shoulders, manage severe dependencies across functions, and force alignment to get the company's highest-stakes, board-level initiatives over the finish line.Let’s be clear: we do not want PMOs, governance trackers, or slide-deck architects. We want someone who gets in the mud to move things and makes Perk move faster. We need smart, grounded people who thrive with high autonomy and come ready to make an immediate, tangible business impact.What You’ll DoArchitect and Execute Complex Initiatives: Take full accountability for massive, multi-threaded operational programs that materially shape the trajectory of Perk. When you lead a program, Perk's problems are your problems; the buck stops with you.Deconstruct Bottlenecks: Take on messy, fragmented operating models. You bring structure to chaos, identify failure points early, and fix operational root causes before they become organizational bottlenecks.Drive Strategic Alignment: Align resources and functions when and where they are needed. You frame complex trade-offs and operational risks clearly, defending decisions directly to the Executive Leadership Team.Use Data to Drive Decisions: You don't wait for dashboards; you pull your own data and use it to uncover operational realities and build consensus. You tell simple, rigorous, data-driven stories that force executive decisions and align teams behind the critical path.Influence for Speed: Build genuine credibility with the functional leaders you support by providing undeniable value. You aren't here to monitor their work—you are here to help them execute their hardest cross-functional dependencies at pace.What We’re Looking ForExperience: 8–12+ years of experience combining top-tier strategy consulting and/or deep operational leadership inside high-growth scaling tech or SaaS environments.Skin in the Game: You left consulting or corporate advisory to build and operate. You have owned the actual outcome of major operational initiatives where your reputation was on the line.Large-Scale Operational Architecture: Proven track record leading massive, complex cross-functional transformations, post-merger integrations (M&A), or operating model redesigns end-to-end.Data Skills & Tooling: You don't wait for analysts. You can pull your own data (Looker, Salesforce), manipulate complex datasets (Advanced Sheets/Excel), and build rigorous models to uncover operational truth.Executive Storytelling: You distill messy, multi-layered operational programs into sharp, clear narratives that give executive leadership full conviction on decisions and resource allocation.AI Fluency (Massive Plus): Highly beneficial if you have a strong working knowledge of leveraging LLMs and AI tools to automate workflows, accelerate analysis, and force-multiply operational efficiency.Impact-First: You care about actual business progress, not status reports or governance overhead. Where you are deployed, execution speeds up and operational roadblocks disappear.Ego-Less & Hands-On: You tackle massive ambiguity head-on and are never afraid of getting in the mud to move things forward. You take pride in execution, regardless of how unglamorous the task is—you would mop the bathrooms if it helped the company win.Healthy Obsession: You don't have an off switch when a critical puzzle remains unsolved. You find it difficult to stop thinking through an operational problem over the weekend simply because a broken process bugs you.Strong Bias for Action: You prefer a solid, decisive call made today over a perfect plan made next week. You don't wait for universal consensus to get moving.Decisive: You know how to bring cross-functional leaders along, but you also know when debate has run its course and it is time to mandate action.A Healthy Chip on Your Shoulder: You take ownership like it's second nature, operating with the scrappy, relentless hunger of someone who still has something to prove.What We OfferReceive competitive compensation and equity ownership in PerkRest and recharge with our generous allocation of vacation days plus public holidaysTake control of your physical health with your choice of private healthcare or a gym allowanceKnow that your loved ones are protected financially through your Life Insurance if the worst were to happenJoin our unforgettable Perk events, including our spectacular annual summer partyAlways feel supported with Spring Health, our market-leading wellbeing partner, providing fast, comprehensive access to 12x therapy and 12x coaching sessions for you and your loved onesMake your money go further with our flexible compensation planFocus on your family with 17 weeks’ paid parental leave during your child’s first yearContribute to your community with 16 paid hours per year to spend volunteering for your dearest charitable causesBroaden your horizons with up to 20 "Work from Anywhere" days per yearNurture your language skills with in real-life English, Spanish and Catalan lessonsFollow your passions and take a four-week, fully paid sabbatical once you reach 5 yearsLet us help you move to one of our hubs with relocation supportInterview ProcessOur goal is to move you from first call to final offer in under a month.
