Business Operations & Strategy drives mission-critical initiatives across multiple teams at Scale. As a Principal on the team, you will support product, engineering, sales, marketing, and core operations by providing planning, analytical, operational, and strategic support. We are looking for hard-charging generalists who combine analytical rigor and an obsessive focus on impact with an empathetic interpersonal style. We want you to bring your deep experience driving exceptional outcomes to Scale - if you enjoy solving hard problems and building strong teams and relationships while doing it, we'd love to hear from you!

• Tackle ambiguous, open-ended questions, plus quickly develop and iterate on a solution
• Identify and produce analyses that propel Scale's growth and evolution as a company
• Eventually spin out to take on full ownership of a given role, team, or opportunity in Scale

Ideally you'd have:

• A penchant for digging deep into data, thinking from first principles, and iterating quickly to deliver results
• A strong orientation toward outcomes, and a history of being scrappy when it counts
• Experience in product or project management, taking projects from conception to launch
• An easygoing interpersonal style and ability to build trusting relationships with a wide range of people
