About the role
Strategy & Operations at Sycamore is a generalist role for someone who is good at reducing messy problems to clear decisions and then making the decision stick. There is no fixed remit. In a given quarter the highest-leverage work might be the model that decides how we price a deployment, the reporting that tells us whether deployments are actually succeeding, the planning cycle that sets company priorities, or an internal process that is quietly costing everyone hours. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 4-10 years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, banking, product operations, or a generalist role at a high-growth company. We will make exceptions for exceptional people in either direction
- Strong analytical ability. You can build a model, query data directly, and tell the difference between a real signal and an artifact of how the data was collected
- Evidence of operational follow-through. You have implemented recommendations, not only produced them
- Comfort with ambiguity and no established playbook. Much of this role is deciding what deserves attention
- Clear writing. Your recommendations should be understandable to someone who was not in the room
- Technical fluency. You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be able to work with data yourself and understand what our product does at more than a surface level

You will work directly with the founders and with engineering, commercial, and recruiting leaders. Most of the work is analytical: getting the data, understanding what it says, and forming a recommendation you are willing to defend.
