Strategy and operations, often shortened to BizOps or StratOps, is an internal team that works on a company's cross-functional problems in the manner of an in-house consulting group. People in these roles structure ambiguous questions, analyze data, recommend a course of action to executives and often run the resulting initiative until a permanent owner takes over. Seniority ranges from associate to director.

About the Strategy & Operations role

  • Run annual and quarterly planning, including goal setting, operating reviews and the metrics that leadership tracks.
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives such as a pricing change or market launch across product, sales, finance and operations.
  • Design operating processes and dashboards, then hand them to the team that will own them.

What employers ask for

  • Structured problem solving from consulting or banking
  • SQL and spreadsheet modeling
  • Executive presentations and written memos
  • Tableau, Looker or similar dashboards
  • Program management across functions
  • Comfort with ambiguous, unowned problems

Doing this job remotely

Analysis and writing are easily done remotely, but the function depends on trust with executives and on influence over teams it does not manage. That is harder to build from a distance, so remote hires are expected to communicate proactively and travel to planning sessions and leadership offsites. Working hours usually follow headquarters.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Typical backgrounds are management consulting, investment banking, analytics or an operational role inside the same company. People move on to lead a business unit or function, become chief of staff, or go into product management, strategic finance or general management.
