Role
Who you are
- We’re seeking a clarity-first operator who knows how to zoom in and out
- 5-7+ years of experience in BizOps, FP&A, strategic planning, or a related field
- A strong planning mindset, with comfort navigating financial and resourcing tradeoffs
- Operational range — able to manage the details of a spreadsheet and the bigger picture of a planning cycle
- Experience with cross-functional program management and/or coordination across multiple business units
- Proficiency in tools like Google Sheets, Coda, or similar — and a general love of systems and structure
- Bonus: experience in a high-growth, global organization with complex stakeholder dynamics
What the job involves
- To support smarter, faster decision-making across G&A, we’re hiring a Senior Program Manager focused on G&A Strategy & Planning to join our G&A Strategy & Operations team
- This role is our cross-functional integrator — someone who connects the dots across budgets, timelines, headcount, and strategic priorities
- As the primary liaison to Finance, you’ll bring rigor to planning cycles, manage resources across teams, and ensure alignment between what we say, spend, and staff
- You’ll help lead key initiatives at the intersection of People, Legal, and Finance — especially the ones that require a strong planning and execution backbone
- Serve as the go-to planning partner between G&A and Finance — supporting headcount planning, tradeoff conversations, and quarterly cadences
- Track resources, goals, and major initiatives across G&A, ensuring alignment and flagging duplication or drift
- Pick up program management responsibilities for Finance-heavy efforts — from planning cycles to integrations and process improvements
- Contribute to cross-functional work that touches People, Legal, and Finance, often in partnership with embedded EA and Ops leads
- Act as a systems-thinker, helping bring structure to how G&A sets priorities and makes decisions
Our take
From professional writing to everyday correspondence, effective communication is critical. Grammarly is an AI-powered writing assistant that helps people write clearly and without mistakes, checking spelling, grammar, and other potential pitfalls.
Grammarly was originally launched as a subscription service for students, although the platform has moved into the mainstream in the last decade. It went freemium in 2015 and now works across more than 500,000 applications and websites including email clients, enterprise software, and word processors. Paid tiers give users more tools beyond grammar and spelling checks to include things like word choice, sentence rewrites, tone adjustments, fluency, and formality level.
The company has been profitable since the beginning and now has a valuation of more than $13 billion, placing it among the 10 most valuable startups in the US. The AI writing assistant space is heating up, and Grammarly is hoping to defend its positions against offerings including Scalenut, Ginger and Microsoft's Editor by the release of its SDK, making it far easier to integrate Grammarly into other applications. So far this has been used in over 4,000 products and earned excellent ratings and increased user numbers of Grammarly's service.
