We’re looking for a Business Operations & Strategy Manager who thrives in fast-paced environments and loves turning ambiguity into action. This role is highly cross-functional and high-impact — you will work on some of the most important priorities across the company and have a front-row seat to how we’re scaling the business.

This role is intentionally broad. You’ll partner closely with senior leaders across the business to tackle high-impact strategic and operational challenges that don’t neatly fit into a single function —from pricing & packaging to market analysis, planning processes, and internal tooling. You’ll be expected to bring structure to ambiguous problems, develop clear recommendations, and drive execution end-to-end. This role is highly cross-functional and high-impact — reporting to the Chief of Staff, you will work on some of the most important priorities across the company and have a front-row seat to how we’re scaling the business.

What will you be doing?

  • Own and execute high-priority, cross-functional initiatives from problem definition through implementation

  • Drive pricing & packaging decisions and initiatives (e.g., plan migrations) by combining market context with data-driven analysis and recommendations

  • Conduct strategic analyses including TAM sizing, competitive landscape, and growth driver identification (e.g., attractiveness of new verticals, product capabilities, etc.)

  • Improve core business processes (e.g., planning cycles, OKRs, internal workflow automation) to increase clarity and execution across teams

  • Operate as a generalist — stepping into new problem spaces quickly and building structure where none exists

What skills and experience do you need?

  • 2–5 years of experience in a highly analytical, strategic role in professional services (e.g., management consulting, investment banking, investing) and/or high-growth startups

  • Strong structured and hypothesis-driven problem solving, with comfort leveraging data to make decisions

  • Excellent cross-functional program leadership — you can align stakeholders, define milestones, and remove blockers in order to drive projects end-to-end and deliver outcomes in an ambiguous environment

  • Ability to move between strategy and execution — you’re as comfortable building a lightweight model and recommending a strategy as you are diving into details to drive a project forward

  • Clear, concise executive communication (written and verbal), including slide craft and narrative building

  • Bias toward action, high attention to detail, and a growth mindset; curiosity about AI tools and workflows and interest in building foundational systems and processes as the company scales

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience with B2B SaaS

  • Pricing & Packaging experience

  • Familiarity with SQL or willingness to learn

  • Mix of professional services + operating role experience

Front operates on a hybrid model — we come together in the office each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to collaborate and stay connected.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary

  • Equity (we are post-series D & backed by some of the best VCs in the US)

  • Private health insurance, including plan options at no cost to employees

  • Paid parental leave

  • Flexible time off policy

  • Flexibility to work from home Monday and Friday, unless posted as a fully remote role

  • Mental health support with Workplace Options

  • Family planning support with Maven

  • $100 per month Lifestyle Stipend to spend on fitness, health and wellness, and other activities

  • Wellness Days - Fronteers get an additional day off on months with no holidays

  • Winter Break - Our offices are closed from Christmas to New Year's Day!

Skills Required

  • 2-5 years of experience in a highly analytical, strategic role
  • Strong structured and hypothesis-driven problem solving skills
  • Excellent cross-functional program leadership skills
  • Ability to communicate clearly and concisely with executives
  • Curiosity about AI tools and workflows
