Team Description
Our Business Strategy & Operations team sets and drives key business initiatives across the company. We complement and support product, engineering, sales, and marketing teams across three critical areas: corporate and business unit strategy, business planning and sales operations, and business systems and tools development.
Role Description
As the Director of Business Strategy, you will report to the VP of Business Strategy and Operations and lead a team of Project Leads and Associates.

We are a fast growing company and you will have the opportunity to roll-up your sleeves and help the company move from strategy to execution.
The ideal candidate will have exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills and be comfortable interacting with all levels, including Executive Management, Sales, Finance, and Sales Operations leaders and colleagues. The ideal candidate will be able to handle highly sensitive, confidential, and non-routine information supporting a rapidly changing organization. We're seeking a self-starter who can help guide key strategic projects and who will take the initiative to ensure smooth execution.
