About the Team

About the Role

In Strategy & Operations for the Customer team, you will own the strategy, cadence, and operational infrastructure that powers Decagon’s delivery and post-sales execution at scale. You’ll act as the operational backbone for deployment and steady-state delivery—standardizing how we launch complex enterprise customers, improving visibility and forecasting across teams, and partnering with Sales/GTM to ensure deals are scoped for success before they close.


This is an in-office role with broad cross-functional influence. You’ll drive company-critical initiatives spanning Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success, and build repeatable systems that increase launch predictability, reduce downstream risk, and improve customer outcomes as Decagon scales rapidly.

  • Strengthen cross-functional execution

    • Partner with GTM to improve upfront alignment on customer goals, scope, and readiness.

    • Lead cross-functional initiatives with Product and Engineering to unblock execution and improve outcomes.

    • Own issue management and escalation handling to keep delivery and customer results on track.

  • Lead and grow a high-performing team

    • Manage and develop a Strategy & Operations team focused on operational excellence and scalability.

    • Hire and coach for high ownership and strong execution, emphasizing durable systems over one-off fixes.

Your background looks something like this

  • 6+ years of experience with experience in Strategy & Operations, BizOps, post-sales operations, CX operations, delivery operations, or adjacent functions.

  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose ambiguous problems, drive structured work-streams, and influence senior stakeholders.

  • Experience building playbooks, operating cadences, and resourcing/capacity planning systems.

  • Strong executive communication and trust-building skills; ability to align cross-functional leaders and drive decisions with clarity and rigor.

  • Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you build structure while maintaining momentum.

Even better if you have

  • Direct experience partnering with Sales/GTM on deal scoping, success readiness, and pre-close operational rigor.

  • Background in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or AI-adjacent companies.

  • Prior experience building an operations function from scratch or leading it through early scale.
