About the Role
Perk is growing fast, and we need great leaders who can scale our operations as quickly as our revenue.
We are looking for a world-class operator to tackle Perk's most complex operational challenges. This role functions as an 18-to-24-month leadership incubator / launch pad. Your mandate is to join the team, ramp quickly, take on our largest, most entangled operational initiatives, prove your impact,



and then transition into the broader business to run a major operational function, geography, or business unit. If you are successful, you won't be in this role in two years.
There is no business-as-usual in Strategy & Ops. You will be deployed against the company’s most urgent, high-stakes operational priorities. You will report to the VP of Business Operations under the Office of the President and have direct, unfiltered visibility with our Leadership Team and functional leads.
We are explicitly looking for an Operational Architect: someone who excels at running complex, multi-threaded programs (e.g., post-merger integrations, integral operating model redesigns, cross-functional system migrations). You carry the program on your shoulders, manage severe dependencies across functions, and force alignment to get the company's highest-stakes, board-level initiatives over the finish line.
Let’s be clear: we do not want PMOs, governance trackers, or slide-deck architects. We want someone who gets in the mud to move things and makes Perk move faster. We need smart, grounded people who thrive with high autonomy and come ready to make an immediate, tangible business impact.
What You’ll DoArchitect and Execute Complex Initiatives: Take full accountability for massive, multi-threaded operational programs that materially shape the trajectory of Perk. When you lead a program, Perk's problems are your problems; the buck stops with you.
Deconstruct Bottlenecks: Take on messy,



fragmented operating models. You bring structure to chaos, identify failure points early, and fix operational root causes before they become organizational bottlenecks.
Drive Strategic Alignment: Align resources and functions when and where they are needed. You frame complex trade-offs and operational risks clearly, defending decisions directly to the Executive Leadership Team.
Use Data to Drive Decisions: You don't wait for dashboards; you pull your own data and use it to uncover operational realities and build consensus. You tell simple, rigorous, data-driven stories that force executive decisions and align teams behind the critical path.
Influence for Speed: Build genuine credibility with the functional leaders you support by providing undeniable value. You aren't here to monitor their work—you are here to help them execute their hardest cross-functional dependencies at pace.
What We’re Looking ForExperience: 8–12+ years of experience combining top-tier strategy consulting and/or deep operational leadership inside high-growth scaling tech or SaaS environments.
Skin in the Game: You left consulting or corporate advisory to build and operate. You have owned the actual outcome of major operational initiatives where your reputation was on the line.
Large-Scale Operational Architecture: Proven track record leading massive, complex cross-functional transformations, post-merger integrations (M&A;), or operating model redesigns end-to-end.
Data Skills & Tooling: You don't wait for analysts. You can pull your own data (Looker, Salesforce), manipulate complex datasets (Advanced Sheets/Excel), and build rigorous models to uncover operational truth.
Executive Storytelling: You distill messy, multi-layered operational progra
