Strategy & Operations Lead
Role summary
Tabs is seeking a Strategy & Operations Manager to tackle high-leverage problems and initiatives, reporting to the founding team. This role balances strategic cross-functional initiatives with operational ownership of product launches and feature adoption. Responsibilities include driving ambiguous problems end-to-end, using data for decision-making, designing and executing cross-functional projects, and establishing new functions. The manager will coordinate product release readiness, manage launch cohorts, conduct post-launch retrospectives, and support product adoption programs. The ideal candidate has 4-8 years of experience in high-growth startups, B2B SaaS, AI, consulting, or finance, with a strong preference for 2+ years in a product-driven operating role. Key skills include program management, product management, data analysis, systems thinking, stakeholder management, and go-to-market strategy, with a genuine curiosity for fintech and AI.
- We’re hiring a Strategy & Operations Manager to take on some of the highest-leverage problems and initiatives at Tabs, reporting into the founding team
- In practice, the role splits its time across two flavors of work. The first is strategic: cross-functional initiatives, major projects and initiatives. The second is operational: owning the end-to-end coordination of product launches and ongoing feature adoption
- Own ambiguous, high-priority problems end-to-end
- Use data to build the analysis needed to make decisions with conviction
- Design and run cross-functional initiatives spanning Product, GTM, Finance, Operations and other teams as needed
- Stand up new teams or functions when we don’t yet have a dedicated owner
- Turn one-off analyses into durable systems, playbooks, and automation so the next person doesn’t start from scratch
- Act as a thought partner to the leadership team on questions that don’t have obvious answers
- Drive go-live readiness across every new product or major feature release — coordinating Product, Engineering, Product Marketing, Implementation, Customer Success, and Support
- Define and manage phased launch cohorts for betas and pilots
- Run post-launch retrospectives and build repeatable processes and feedback loops between Product and customer-facing teams
- Support product adoption across key product areas — flagging customers who are live but underutilizing important features
- Partner with CS, Marketing, and Product to design and run targeted adoption programs for at-risk or low-adoption segments
- Surface adoption signals back to Product to inform roadmap prioritization
- Own planning and execution across 3–5 major programs at a time — spanning feature launches, customer migrations, and strategic initiatives

- Regular team events: We work hard and play hard- Systems thinking: you can zoom out to see the whole program and zoom in to spot exactly where things are breaking down
- Genuine curiosity about fintech, AI, and how a modern AI company actually runs
- Exceptional organizational instincts: you thrive with many moving pieces, surface the right information to the right people, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
- High ownership mentality
- Bias toward action: you don’t need a perfect process to start making something better
- Comfort operating at the intersection of Product/Engineering and customer-facing teams
- Crisp written and verbal communication
- Proven ability to drive complex, cross-functional programs to completion by leading through influence, not authority
- 4–8 years of experience in a high-growth startup, B2B SaaS or AI (product, strategy, or operations), consulting, investment banking, or PE/VC, with a strong preference towards 2+ years of experience in a product-driven operating role
