🌟 About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Business Operations! In this role, you'll serve as a strategic partner and internal consultant to our leadership team. You'll be the analytical backbone helping bring structure to solve ambiguity, diving deep into complex business challenges to identify opportunities, and driving actionable data-driven solutions. This high-impact, executive-facing role offers deep exposure to how a fast-growing startup operates while building strategic frameworks and processes that scale with our business.

🛠 What you’ll do

• Partner with leadership to identify, analyze, and solve complex challenges across multiple departments
• Build and maintain executive dashboards and analyses to track performance and surface actionable insights
• Support critical planning processes and contribute to board memos that shape company strategy
• Collaborate directly with our leadership team on strategic initiatives and day-to-day operations
• Translate complex business problems into clear analytical frameworks and strategic recommendations
• Drive cross-functional projects, working closely across GTM, product, engineering and operations to optimize processes and drive results

🙌 What you bring

• 4-7 years of experience in a business operations or analytics role, including 3+ years in management consulting.
• Strong analytical skills - ability to analyze data, derive key insights and diagnose business issues
• Ability to think independently and strategically, with an exceptional attention to detail to drive program management and execution of strategy
• Ability to translate complex data into clear strategic insights and recommendations for executive leadership
• Strong executive presence - excellent verbal & written communications skills
• Strong proficiency with Excel; experience in SQL and BI tooling
• High intellectual horsepower with attention to detail and ability to work with autonomy
• You think and operate like a founder; you don’t wait for permission to make an impact

✨ Why work at Pulley?

• We’ve moved beyond early-stage uncertainty - Our product has traction and we’re building on a solid foundation, but we’re still early enough in our journey where your work will directly shape the company’s trajectory as we scale.
• Make it easier for anyone to start a company - Founders turn bold ideas into reality - building things that might not exist otherwise. Pulley exists to make equity management simpler, smarter, and more accessible for founders from day one.
• Work with a high-performing and passionate team - We value the concept of stunning colleagues and we’re thoughtful about creating a team that is excited about building a great company together. Here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:
• First Principles Thinking  - We believe in breaking down problems into their most basic parts, and that something is possible unless proven otherwise. We understand “why did certain things work?” and apply it to our situation.
• Ship It & Iterate - We value people who not only generate ideas but also do the work to bring them to life. Instead of fixating on outcomes, we focus on the inputs we can control and take our best bets. We move quickly to ship something, talk to users, get feedback, and iterate.
• Boldly Honest & Aggressively Considerate - Being boldly honest means challenging each other to set and hit goals, and make the right strategic decisions on what to build. Being aggressively considerate means caring about one another as humans and speaking up with empathy so we can succeed together as a team.
• Ego-less Learner - Everyday at Pulley, we’re trying things that we’ve never done before - sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t. It’s important to embrace the mindset of a beginner - stay curious, open to feedback, and ready to learn and grow alongside the team.
