Strategy & Operations Analyst

Job Purpose:

We are seeking a curious, analytically rigorous Strategy Analyst to support the ideation, design, and activation of key organizational initiatives. While anchored in our people strategy, this role has a broad mandate that touches on operational excellence, enterprise-wide transformation, and broader business objectives. Serving a dual mandate, the ideal candidate acts as both a strategic thought partner—helping translate ambiguous business challenges into actionable strategies—and functions in a "Chief of Staff" capacity to orchestrate the cadence of the organization. This is a high-visibility role for someone with an internal consulting mindset who thrives on conceptualizing solutions, managing complex portfolios, and turning ambiguity into structure.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Ideation & Problem Solving

Act as a thought partner to leadership to conceptualize and design new business and organizational strategies. Shift beyond just reporting by actively participating in the "whiteboarding" phase—identifying root causes, structuring complex problems, and proposing innovative solutions. Develop clear, executive-ready narratives and frameworks that communicate complex ideas and drive enterprise-level decision making. Thrive in a dynamic environment, bringing the same rigor and creativity whether the work is a quick-turn strategic pivot or a multi-month transformation initiative.

Chief of Staff Operations & Organizational Alignment

Serve as the central nervous system for the HR organization, keeping a pulse on the overarching portfolio of initiatives, managing operational cadence, and ensuring cross-functional alignment. Act as a connector across departments — facilitating conversations, managing dependencies, and keeping leadership informed on organizational health and project speed. Build and maintain strong working relationships across the enterprise, earning trust as a reliable and credible partner who can move forward without formal authority.

Data Analytics & Insight Generation

Gather, synthesize, and interpret qualitative and quantitative data to build the evidence base behind new strategies and operational efficiencies. Identify the right data sources, ask the right questions, and connect the dots across inputs to surface insights that drive financial and operational impact. Shape findings into clear, digestible narratives that bring the "so what" to life for senior business leaders.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree required, MBA or advanced degree preferred. 2–4 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, operational excellence, or a highly analytical business role (Exposure to enterprise transformation or people-focused projects is a plus) Strong analytical capabilities with advanced proficiency in Excel and data structuring; comfort working with ambiguous or incomplete data sets to build
