Who you are

• The ideal candidate blends the structured problem-solving and analytical rigor of top-tier consulting with the executional drive and adaptability of a startup operator
• 6+ years of experience across data operations, business operations, or strategy, ideally within high-growth tech or AI-driven environments
• Background in top-tier management consulting (McKinsey, Bain, or BCG) and/or startup operations with a track record of scaling complex systems
• Experience managing large distributed or offshore teams (50+ people, ideally India-based)
• Strong analytical and quantitative mindset, comfortable with dashboards, KPIs, and process optimization
• Deep understanding of data workflows (collection, labeling, QA) and tooling (e.g., Labelbox, Scale, AWS, or custom pipelines)
• Proven ability to operate autonomously, influence cross-functional stakeholders, and drive clarity amid ambiguity
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to engage confidently with executives and technical leaders
• You’re a builder and operator who thrives in fast-moving, high-accountability environments. You take pride in getting things done — thoughtfully, efficiently, and without drama. You’re energized by ambiguity, skilled at bringing clarity, and comfortable flexing between strategy and execution
• You value feedback — giving it, receiving it, and acting on it — and you see collaboration as a competitive advantage, not a burden
• You’re low-ego but high-agency: you care about winning as a team more than being right individually. You move quickly, communicate directly, and make decisions grounded in impact and data
• You don’t need constant direction — you create momentum. You take ownership for outcomes, and you expect the same from those around you
