About the role
Run the weekly operating cadence with Commercial Operations, Fleet Operations, and Finance: diagnose variance, propose changes to live levers, and present lever performance and roadmap status to leadership. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A track record of driving a roadmap to completion through teams that do not report to you, changing priorities with evidence rather than authority
- A quantitative foundation: a degree in economics, operations research, statistics, or a similar field, and practical experience applying it — specifying or building models, running experiments, and reading their results
- Clear writing and presentation skills: PRDs that engineers and scientists can build from, and readouts that leadership can decide on
- The judgment to know which decisions need a model and which need a defensible heuristic shipped this week, in a business that is standing up its first markets

Because we own and operate our vehicles, supply is fixed in the short run, and these levers are how we trade growth against profit week to week. They include:
Planned pricing — the rate card and its shaping by time of day and geography, per-zone fees, and the controls operators use to manage a market before any model intervenes.
Dynamic pricing — the real-time engine that balances a fixed fleet against live demand, weighing growth against profit market by market.
Promotions and incentives — from promo mechanics and budget planning through targeted, personalized incentives as the rider base grows.
Fleet supply — how many vehicles are in service each hour and where they stage and charge, so fleet and pricing decisions optimize against the same objectives.
