Role
Who you are
- You have at least 5-7 years of experience in strategic functions such as corporate strategy, strategy consulting, strategy operations or product operations at complex, matrixed organizations
- You have demonstrated experience with independently leading OKRs and goal setting processes, strategic projects and change management initiatives
- You are able to fly at 30,000 feet in understanding our broad and long-term strategies and dive down to ‘sea level’ to translate them into near-term projects and priorities that help us make rapid and significant progress
- You are excited by solving hard problems and collaborating across teams to deliver a solution
- You can see the forest and the trees in terms of seeing the big picture but can distill it down to specific problems and solutions
- You are comfortable influencing without authority and excel in building partnerships across different levels, functions and teams across the organization
- You are a focused, organized, and results-driven individual with strong communication and influencing skills to drive a diverse set of cross-functional partners towards a set of defined goals
- You are naturally curious about people and love learning from different backgrounds, working styles, and perspectives and adapting your own approach to be successful
- You thrive in situations with a lot of ambiguity and change, balancing the need to be nimble and responsive in the short-term with driving longer-term progress
- You are an exceptional communicator in both written and verbal interactions; clear, concise, and able to effectively distill the ‘so what’ for different audiences
- Above all else, you are bright, kind and motivated by challenge
What the job involves
- Work closely with our Senior Leaders on strategic narrative, roadmap, OKR and priorities setting, and content for the broader company
- Support leaders and lead special projects driving the company’s highest priorities
- Drive operational excellence through the creation of tools, processes, and ways of working that empower leaders and team members to make their programs and initiatives more successful and connected
- Translate and bridge quantitative data and qualitative insights across teams to identify problems and unlock meaningful solutions to improve project and company outcomes
- Partner closely with peers and stakeholders across the broader company to assess existing programs, processes, and practices, identify gaps and inefficiencies and opportunities for significant impact and improvement
- Perform ‘competitive intelligence’ in researching and staying current with best practices, innovations and trends among peer companies and in our industry
Our take
Shopping online for clothes is not always a fun experience. Finding clothes you like is only half the battle. Sizing guides and return policies seem to have been designed to be challenging to understand, and can also vary wildly from company to company.
Stitchfix sets out to change this by making online clothes shopping personalized and hassle-free. Customers take a survey on their personal tastes, and pay a one-off fee for a stylist, to receive a box of 5 personalized items. Then, they simply pay for any items they keep, or return what they don't want free of charge.
Stitchfix's unique blend of technology and human touch allows the company to deliver its personalized experience at scale. Unfortunately, this once exciting brand has been hit hard by economic trends, cutting back staff and shutting down UK operations entirely. Only time will tell if it can bounce back and find success again in the future.
