About the role

We ensure cross-functional coordination and increase efficiency across Plaid to help us achieve our Company goals.

Responsibilities

  • Work directly with leaders across Plaid on the company's most important and least-defined problems, particularly those at the seams of multiple teams or functions
  • Identify unowned, high-leverage opportunities across the business and driving them to clean outcomes
  • Operate across a wide aperture (strategy, GTM, operations, product, etc.) without being boxed into a single lane
  • Lead (directly or indirectly) high performing teams
  • Use AI tools and agents as a default part of how you work — not as an experiment, but as a force multiplier

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of total experience, with meaningful time in consulting as well as direct operating roles (BizOps, Strategy & Ops, Finance, Chief of Staff, etc.)
  • A track record of independently identifying problems and driving them to outcomes with limited top-down direction
  • High agency, sense of ownership, and willingness to roll up your sleeves
  • Ability to build relationships at all levels and drive cross-functional teams to action
  • Strong analytical and structured-thinking skills; comfort translating ambiguity into frameworks, plans, and decisions
  • Experience directly managing high-performing teams
  • Familiarity with AI tools and agents to accelerate workflows is a plus
  • Knowledge of SQL and Tableau preferred
  • Experience in fintech, payments, or high-growth SaaS preferred
