The Opportunity - Director, Strategy & Operations (Remote - USA / Canada) As the Director, Strategy & Operations, you are the execution engine and strategic operator for Client Operations. This is a genuine leadership role, not an advisory or support function. You will hold end-to-end ownership of how a 100+ person organization plans, executes, communicates, and continuously improves, translating the SVP’s strategic direction into disciplined, measurable execution at scale. Your mandate spans the full operational lifecycle of Client Operations — from multi-year strategy through annual planning, quarterly priorities, and weekly execution rhythms. You will serve as the connective tissue between the SVP, the Client Operations leadership team, and senior partners across Finance, Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering: strengthening structure, surfacing cross-functional dependencies, driving alignment, and ensuring the organization executes with clarity and velocity. You will serve as a proxy for the SVP when appropriate, influencing senior stakeholders without formal authority and representing Client Operations in cross-functional forums. You will also shape how the organization communicates as it scales- proactively drafting and socializing key materials ahead of formal announcements, ensuring leaders are aligned and prepared before a message lands broadly. Over time, you will build and lead a small Strategy & Operations team, developing direct reports to program management departmental and cross-functional work while you retain personal ownership of the highest-stakes work. This role is best suited for a proven Chief of Staff, senior Business Operations leader, or executive-level strategic operator who has moved beyond advising into genuine ownership — someone who translates ambiguity into structure, holds senior leaders accountable, and drives measurable outcomes at scale. Candidates with executive consulting backgrounds are welcome; however, this role requires deep operational ownership and a demonstrated ability to execute strategy sustainably.
