About the role
We're hiring a Head of Strategy & Operations to own the connective tissue between where Nirvana is going and how we get there. In this role, you’ll help set the strategic direction for our organization, translate that into how we operate, and then build the machinery to execute it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 10-15+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, or a GM-type role
- Demonstrated ability to operate across the full strategy-to-execution arc: you've set direction AND built the team and processes to deliver against it. A track record of strategy decks alone won't cut it
- Analytical rigor: you're fluent in financial modeling, unit economics, and data-driven decision-making. You can interrogate a P&L, build a business case, and spot when the numbers don't add up
- Experience leading and developing teams of 10-20+ people across multiple functions. You hire well, give direct feedback, hold a high-bar for talent, and create environments where strong people want to stay
- Has strong, tested opinions on how to design operating cadences, planning rhythms, and accountability systems that drive real behavioral change
- Executive presence and exceptional written communication. You can run board prep, write a killer decision-memo, and present to partners without a script
