About the role

About the Role

We're looking for a Director of Strategic Operations to serve as a force multiplier for our Chief Product Officer. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on solving ambiguous problems, driving cross-functional initiatives, and translating executive priorities into organizational action.
You'll operate at the intersection of product, strategy, and operations—synthesizing information, removing blockers, and serving as a trusted advisor on decisions that shape Veho's trajectory. This isn't a support role; it's a leadership accelerator with direct exposure to executive decision-making and problems that matter.

What You'll Do

Drive strategic planning and execution: Partner with the CPO to define quarterly and annual priorities, then drive accountability across product, operations, engineering, and finance to deliver against them
Own operating cadences: Design and run staff meetings, business reviews, and planning cycles that improve decision-making velocity and cross-functional alignment
Solve cross-functional problems: Drive resolution on issues spanning multiple teams; serve as a proxy for the CPO in meetings and workstreams when needed
Lead special projects: Take on high-priority initiatives that don't fit neatly into existing team structures—M&A diligence, org design, new market analysis, and more
Shape executive communications: Prepare board materials, investor updates, and leadership presentations that drive alignment and decisions

What Success Looks Like

In your first 12 months, you will have:

Designed and implemented operating cadences that measurably improve decision-making velocity
Successfully led 3-5 high-priority strategic initiatives from concept to completion with clear ROI
Become a trusted proxy for the CPO, freeing up 10+ hours/week of executive time
Built strong relationships across Product, Operations, Engineering, and Finance—recognized as a go-to problem solver

What We're Looking For

Experience

6-10 years in strategy, operations, consulting, or a high-ownership business role
Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives with measurable outcomes
Previous exposure to executive leadership—either as a direct report or close partner to C-suite
Experience in high-growth environments (Series B+ or rapid scaling)
Logistics, supply chain, marketplace, or technology industry background preferred
Bonus: Management consulting (MBB, Big 4 strategy) or investment banking/PE background

Skills

Structures ambiguous problems and drives them to resolution without heavy oversight
Builds financial models, analyzes data, and synthesizes insights into actionable recommendations
Communicates complex ideas clearly—can tailor message to the board, ICs, or external partners
Manages multiple workstreams simultaneously with strong attention to detail
Navigates organizational dynamics with discretion and high EQ

Mindset

High integrity: Handles sensitive information with discretion
Intense drive: Constantly raises the bar and pushes for positive change
Bias toward action: Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information
Low ego, high ownership: Focuses on outcomes over credit
Influence without authority: Gets things done through relationships, not org chart
Intellectually curious: Genuinely wants to understand how the business works end-to-end

Why This Role

This is a leadership accelerator. You'll have direct exposure to executive decision-making, work on problems that matter, and build skills that translate into future GM, VP, or founder paths. If you want to learn how a high-growth company operates from the inside—and have real impact along the way—this is the seat.
