About the role

Role focused on strategy and operations to scale Column’s business, acting as the GM of a product or project, with heavy on-site travel and cross-functional leadership to design operating systems for growth.

Responsibilities

  • Own the strategy and operations for our most critical scaling initiatives
  • Find the biggest bottlenecks to scale, then design and ship the products and workflows that remove them
  • Drive decisions around “build vs. buy” strategies for new tooling and systems we need to drive automation and scale
  • Spend time on-site with operators to understand workflows firsthand and turn what you learn into product and operational decisions
  • Own execution end to end, driving timelines, alignment, and accountability on execution across the team

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in strategy and business operations in a high-growth environment; prior experience at a top-tier management consulting firm strongly preferred
  • Ability to jump into new situations and quickly solve problems, with an eye toward architecting solutions that will scale
  • Experience influencing and managing multiple stakeholders with varying priorities, and getting them to commit to executing against a shared goal
  • Hyper-organized approach to project management, including coordinating efforts across multiple teams; comfort juggling multiple projects and priorities is critical
  • Scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude - we thrive because we work harder, are more creative, and have zero ego when it comes to getting our hands dirty to build a business
  • Familiarity with the banking and fintech industries is preferred, but not required - an interest in becoming an expert in this space, however, is a must

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans, including options that are 100% covered by Column for you and 100% covered for your dependents
  • Comprehensive family planning and fertility benefits via partnership with Carrot, including reimbursement of up to $20,000 in qualified expenses
  • Up to $2,000 (post-tax) monthly rent subsidy for employees living within 2 miles of Column’s office
  • FSA and HSA account options to enable use of pre-tax money for medical and dependent care expenses
  • 401k plan, including self-directed brokerage options
  • Flexible time-off policy - take the time off that you want and need to relax and recharge
  • Sabbatical Program - Reach your 5-year anniversary to take up to 8 weeks of fully paid leave to rest, recharge, and pursue personal interest - with full salary and benefits
  • 100% paid parental leave, including 16 weeks for birth mothers, 12 weeks for primary caregivers, and 8 weeks for secondary caregivers
  • Up to $4,500 in annual reimbursements for backup childcare
  • Catered lunches and dinners for SF employees
  • Commuter benefits, including paid transportation to-and-from the office
  • Regular team building events, including annual offsite
