Strategic Operations Lead

Here at Tarro we build products that empower small brick and mortar restaurants by liberating them of the operational burden of running their business. We accomplish this by providing a frictionless connection between them and their customers through our multi-product ecosystem offering AI-enabled order taking, delivery enablement, payment solutions, and point-of-sale software. At Tarro, we use a combination of bits (technology) and atoms (people) to solve real-world problems facing small business owners.

We obsess over placing our customers first and working backwards from there. When our customers succeed, we succeed. The restaurant industry in the US is over a $1 trillion total addressable market (TAM), but remains relatively underserved by technology. Large chains are able to afford expensive tech that gives them a huge advantage; we believe that small restaurant owners deserve access to the same technologies at an affordable price.

Tarro has been profitable for nearly a decade and has seen 5x revenue growth in the past four years. As of our last fundraising round in mid-2022, we were valued at $450M and have since seen substantial growth across customer acquisition, product development and company headcount. Thousands of loyal restaurants have entrusted Tarro with their success, and together we have supported nearly 20 million customers. We are proud to be named one of Built In’s top companies to work for in 2023.

We are looking for an operations leader who is as comfortable in a data review as they are coaching a team member through a difficult pattern. The Strategic Operations Lead will lead a team of specialists to serve as the connective tissue between operational execution and the strategic decisions being made across product, ops, and client success. You won't just be managing performance; you'll be translating what your team sees into structured feedback to improve internal processes and the overall product, enhancing the customer and client experience.

• You will directly manage 30 to 50 specialists, owning their day-to-day performance, coaching cadence, and operational accountability

• You will monitor and analyze signals across the enterprise: OCR trends, content flag patterns, mistake rate drivers, which then should turn into structured, data-backed findings to ops and product stakeholders

• You will build and reinforce a team culture grounded in proactive issue ownership, where flagging, ticketing, and feedback are habits, not exceptions

• You will serve as the primary escalation point for your team, ensuring every quality gap or process failure is documented, routed, and resolved, and not just acknowledged

• You will partner with cross-functional teams to close feedback loops on flagged issues, tracking resolution outcomes with the same rigor applied to call quality

• You will identify recurring patterns in restaurant setup, onboarding gaps, or menu configuration issues, and bring those forward as structured input into product and client success conversations

• Build a service quality playbook that’s grounded in direct agent feedback, consistent internal auditing, and a coaching methodology that works at the team level and is replicable across every lead in the organization. Your framework becomes the blueprint.

• Identify and deliver at least one process optimization, tooling improvement, or product insight per quarter that produces clear, measurable outcomes for operations. Not just a recommendation, but something you fully own through from observation to implementation.

• Exceed team and enterprise KPIs throughout the year as a direct reflection of the culture, coaching, and accountability standards you build.

• You have 3 to 5 years of experience in a fast-paced, customer-obsessed environment, ideally one where product quality and customer experience are tightly linked

• You are analytically grounded. You track the right metrics, identify trends before they compound, and bring data to every performance or process conversation

• You have a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality with experience working in a fast-paced, highly ambiguous environment, frequently wearing more than one hat.

• You think in systems, not incidents. When you see a recurring error or a pattern of agent questions, you ask what's broken upstream and work toward fixing that, not just the symptom

• You are a credible cross-functional collaborator. You can bring a structured quality finding to a product or client success team, represent it clearly, and follow it through to resolution

• You communicate with precision. You represent frontline realities with evidence, and you're as effective writing a structured escalation as you are in a one-on-one coaching conversation

• You have experience in a consumer-driven industry with a passion for the customer.

• You have prior experience working at the intersection of operations and product, where surfacing the right insight at the right time directly shaped a product or process decision.

• You have built or meaningfully improved an operational reporting or feedback system from scratch.

• You have directly led and grown a team, with experience hiring, developing, and holding people accountable to a high standard.
