Director of Strategic Operations

About the Role

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.

What You'll Do

• 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 work streams 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

What Success Looks Like

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

What We're Looking For

Experience

• 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

Skills

• 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 work streams simultaneously with strong attention to detail
• Navigates organizational dynamics with discretion and high EQ

Mindset

• 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

Why This Role

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. If you want to learn how a high-growth company operates from the inside-and have real impact along the way-this is the seat.
