Business Operations & Strategy Lead

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role:

This is an opportunity to serve as a senior partner and advisor on Notion’s Business Operations team, focused primarily on go-to-market and foundational functions at Notion. Business Operations is a cross-functional team that partners with senior leaders across the company, focusing on high-impact strategic projects and analysis.

In this role, you’ll lead projects, working hand-in-hand with leadership, to identify, structure, and act on the most challenging strategic and operational questions impacting our business.

This position will be based in San Francisco and report to our Head of Business Operations.

What You'll Achieve:

• Work cross-functionally with go-to-market and product stakeholders to define and implement strategy across all Notion products, driving increased value to our users and our business
• Structure complex, ambiguous strategic problems for the Notion leadership team, defining clear hypotheses and building business cases and quantitative models that will inform and influence our approach - individually and with teams
• Lead the definition and management of key drivers of business performance, identifying areas of opportunity and incorporating them into your work
• Develop a comprehensive understanding of our competitive positioning by using, assessing, and developing insights about peer businesses to inform your recommendations
• Deeply understand Notion customers and the broader market landscape to uncover insights that inform your recommendations
• Serve as a “talent magnet” for the Notion Business Operations team, helping to build a culture of repeatable excellence and hiring, developing, and retaining strong staff members

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• 10+ years of strategy experience, with at least 2+ years relevant experience in management consulting, investment banking, or related professional services fields
• 3+ years of managerial experience, with a demonstrated track record of building and developing great teams and cultures
• Highly structured mindset with a strong focus on driving outcomes and turning data into actionable insights
• Outstanding executive-level written and verbal communication skills. You have the ability to operate independently with senior stakeholders and manage relationships, deliverables, and timelines without supervision
• Data self-sufficiency: proficiency in SQL to access relevant data without the need for outside assistance
• Comfort working in a high-growth, constantly changing environment with passion and enthusiasm

Nice to Haves:

• Prior experience in strategy and operations in B2B SaaS businesses
