Role
Who you are
- 6-10 years in strategy, operations, consulting, or a high-ownership business role
- Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives with measurable outcomes
- Previous exposure to executive leadership—either as a direct report or close partner to C-suite
- Experience in high-growth environments (Series B+ or rapid scaling)
- Logistics, supply chain, marketplace, or technology industry background preferred
- Bonus: Management consulting (MBB, Big 4 strategy) or investment banking/PE background
- Structures ambiguous problems and drives them to resolution without heavy oversight
- Builds financial models, analyzes data, and synthesizes insights into actionable recommendations
- Communicates complex ideas clearly—can tailor message to the board, ICs, or external partners
- Manages multiple workstreams simultaneously with strong attention to detail
- Navigates organizational dynamics with discretion and high EQ
- High integrity: Handles sensitive information with discretion
- Intense drive: Constantly raises the bar and pushes for positive change
- Bias toward action: Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information
- Low ego, high ownership: Focuses on outcomes over credit
- Influence without authority: Gets things done through relationships, not org chart
- Intellectually curious: Genuinely wants to understand how the business works end-to-end
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Director of Strategic Operations to serve as a force multiplier for our Chief Product Officer
- This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on solving ambiguous problems, driving cross-functional initiatives, and translating executive priorities into organizational action
- You'll operate at the intersection of product, strategy, and operations—synthesizing information, removing blockers, and serving as a trusted advisor on decisions that shape Veho's trajectory
- This isn't a support role; it's a leadership accelerator with direct exposure to executive decision-making and problems that matter
- Drive strategic planning and execution: Partner with the CPO to define quarterly and annual priorities, then drive accountability across product, operations, engineering, and finance to deliver against them
- Own operating cadences: Design and run staff meetings, business reviews, and planning cycles that improve decision-making velocity and cross-functional alignment
- Solve cross-functional problems: Drive resolution on issues spanning multiple teams; serve as a proxy for the CPO in meetings and workstreams when needed
- Lead special projects: Take on high-priority initiatives that don't fit neatly into existing team structures—M&A diligence, org design, new market analysis, and more
- Shape executive communications: Prepare board materials, investor updates, and leadership presentations that drive alignment and decisions
- In your first 12 months, you will have:
- Designed and implemented operating cadences that measurably improve decision-making velocity
- Successfully led 3-5 high-priority strategic initiatives from concept to completion with clear ROI
- Become a trusted proxy for the CPO, freeing up 10+ hours/week of executive time
- Built strong relationships across Product, Operations, Engineering, and Finance—recognized as a go-to problem solver
- This is a leadership accelerator. You'll have direct exposure to executive decision-making, work on problems that matter, and build skills that translate into future GM, VP, or founder paths
Our take
Over 2 million online merchant ship over 165 billion packages to doorsteps across the United States every year. Every one of those deliveries represents a potential difference between happy customers willing to purchase again and refer friends, and a WISMO ("where is my order?!") catastrophe.
Veho is seeking to turn those deliveries from a risk into an opportunity for online brands. The next-day delivery platform leverages a gig economy workforce and its modern communication platform to create a greatly improved last-mile logistics experience for brands and their customers.
Now that the company has been able to build out an impressive technology platform - think optimized routes and driver-customer communication channels - it is now seeking major geographic expansion.
The company is facing competition from both traditional delivery companies like FedEx as well as newer venture-backed attempts to disrupt the space like Deliverr. However, its already impressive economies of scale and customer experience means it is well positioned to dominate the market in the coming years.
