Role
Who you are
- You’ll thrive here if you enjoy operating in ambiguity, solving high-leverage problems, and building durable operating rhythms at a company in hypergrowth
- Hands-on program management and analytical capabilities — you can roll up your sleeves to move a project from idea to execution
- Strong strategic problem-solving skills — you bring structure and clarity to ambiguous situations
- Excellent communication and organization skills; you can build trust and alignment across senior audiences
- 5–7 years of experience in Operations, Strategic Planning, Corporate Development, or Consulting (preferably in SaaS or high-growth tech)
- Prior exposure to M&A, integration, or transformation work is a strong plus
- Experience leading annual planning, OKRs, or company operating rhythms
- Familiarity with planning and collaboration tools (e.g., Asana, Jira, Salesforce)
What the job involves
- As our Manager, Strategy & Operations, you’ll play a critical role in helping the business plan, prioritize, and execute against its most important strategic initiatives
- You’ll partner cross-functionally on mission-critical work including M&A integration and GTM acceleration, while supporting annual and long-range planning cycles and company-wide OKR processes
- This is a high-visibility, high-impact role with exposure to executive leadership and a wide range of functional teams (GTM, Product, Finance, People, and more)
- Provide program management and analytical support for cross-functional initiatives related to M&A, GTM acceleration and business transformation
- Drive department-level initiative prioritization and execution within GTM and Operations, working in conjunction with R&D and G&A teams
- Support analyses and recommendations for new strategic company initiatives
- Design and manage operating cadences to bring transparency and accountability for top-priority programs
- Collaborate with functional leaders to diagnose operational pain points and launch scalable solutions
- Develop frameworks, dashboards, and executive-ready deliverables to support strategic decision-making
Our take
Traditional manual compliance workflows are tedious, error-prone and extremely hard to scale, which presents special difficulties for rapidly growing companies in maintaining strong data security. Drata enables companies to manage compliance easily, by automatic monitoring and evidence collection, building a single picture of risk across the company.
The company has several competitors offering compliance automation solutions, including Vanta and Secureframe , but Drata is unique in automating the tasks themselves rather than generating notifications for teams to action. This approach has garnered Drata a client base of thousands of companies including bambooHR, Notion and Abnormal.
Drata has grown swiftly since its 2020 founding. Iconiq Growth and GGV Capital have led Drata's impressive funding rounds. It intends to use its influx of cash to invest heavily in research and development, and to roll out new features for auditors and startups.
