Role
Who you are
- 5–8+ years of experience in fintech scale-ups, consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) or similar high-performance environments
- Proven track record of independently leading and delivering cross-functional initiatives
- Strong structured problem-solving skills (hypothesis-driven, root-cause focused)
- High data literacy — confident using SQL and Python to work with real, imperfect data
- Comfortable designing processes and working with operational tooling (Asana, Notion, systems integrations)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to bring clarity to ambiguity
- High ownership, strong execution discipline, and comfort operating in a fast-moving environment
- Exposure to automation or AI-enabled workflows
- Experience building performance frameworks or KPI systems
- Experience working in high-growth or scaling companies
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Strategy & Operations Manager to join our CEO Office, focused on Performance
- This is a high-impact individual contributor role responsible for building how the company measures and drives performance
- You’ll work directly with the CEO and COO to design and implement a data-driven performance system from the ground up — defining KPIs, building visibility, and establishing execution discipline across the business
- You won’t be managing a function — you’ll be enabling the whole company to operate with clarity, accountability, and measurable outcomes
- This role is ideal for someone who combines consulting-level structured thinking with hands-on execution, enjoys solving ambiguous operational problems, and is comfortable working with incomplete or fragmented data
- You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance, People, and Operations — influencing without formal authority and owning initiatives end-to-end
- Own and deliver high-priority, cross-functional initiatives focused on performance and operational effectiveness
- Define and implement a clear KPI framework across company, team, and individual levels
- Translate CEO priorities into structured plans with milestones, KPIs, and clear accountability
- Work directly with fragmented and incomplete data — using SQL and Python where needed to extract, structure, and analyse performance
- Build simple, decision-driving dashboards and reporting to create visibility across the business
- Redesign and implement a data-driven performance review process
- Establish a clear execution cadence (weekly, monthly, quarterly reviews) to track progress and drive accountability
- Diagnose root causes of operational inefficiencies and implement scalable fixes
- Design and improve workflows using automation, AI (e.g. Notion AI), and internal systems
- Drive adoption of tools such as Asana, Notion, and workflow systems to improve execution discipline
- Act as a force multiplier for the CEO and COO — increasing clarity, speed, and accountability across teams
- Success in This Role Looks Like:
- A clear, adopted company-wide KPI framework
- Reliable visibility on company and team performance
- Performance reviews that are data-driven and actionable
- Faster decision-to-execution cycles across teams
- Reduced operational load on senior leadership
- Scalable systems that remove recurring friction
Application process
- We usually respond within three days
- Introductory call with our Talent team
- Gamified cognitive assessment to understand how you think and problem-solve
- Competency interview focused on structured problem-solving and operational execution
- Senior leadership interview to explore strategic alignment and cultural fit
