The role:

Business Operations drive strategic planning, business-critical insights, and cross-functional execution. We’re seeking a Business Operations Manager to support SoFi’s Invest product. You will report to the Head of Business Operations for Money, Invest, Credit Card, and SoFi’s marketplaces and will be a trusted partner for the leadership team focusing on high-impact strategic projects, data analysis, and driving efficient processes.

Business Operations works with many teams within SoFi. The ideal candidate will be a dynamic thinker who can work cross-functionally to solve complex challenges with uncertain inputs and outputs.

A typical week will likely be split in two main buckets: 1) support strategic planning including regular weekly/monthly/quarterly performance tracking and reporting in support of the businesses and 2) special projects that require strategy, analysis, financial modeling, problem-solving, cross-functional project management, and more.

What you’ll do:

  • Lead annual/quarterly planning and collaborate with leaders to set business priorities and goals
  • Define OKRs and critical KPIs for Invest, manage business performance with OKR tracking, and report the progress of OKRs to the business
  • Own the creation, iteration, and ongoing optimization of recurring business forums (e.g., weekly Invest team meeting)
  • Drive process optimization and standardization by identifying and improving operating inefficiencies, and contributing to the Business Operations team collaboration to drive operational consistencies
  • Support the Business Unit Leader (BUL) in risk management initiatives (establish an operating framework, setting agenda, facilitating conversations, working with business lead and business control partners to escalate roadblocks)
  • Drive ad-hoc activities as requested by Business Unit Leader or Group Business Unit Leader
    • Collaborate with the Data Science team to produce data-driven insights and recommendations
    • Run after projects such as business cases, competitive analysis, industry trends, cross-functional initiatives and alignment with stakeholders
    • Support CEO initiatives (e.g., Board member orientation, CEO offsite narrative)

What you’ll need:

  • 5+ years of work experience in a top-tier consulting firm, consumer financial services or high growth business in an analytical capacity
  • Familiarity with financial services and/or consumer technology companies in private and/or public sector
  • Hands on operational capabilities with advanced proficiency in Google suite, MS Office apps, etc.
  • Strong data analytics and organizational skills
  • A clear communicator with excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Inquisitive nature, attention to detail, diligence and a good attitude
  • Excellent time and project management skills with the ability to build strong cross-functional relationships and work collaboratively
  • Comfort working in a high growth, constantly changing environment

Nice to have:

  • Experience in the online brokerage, wealth management, online investing, or a closely related business
  • Data Mining skills (SQL, Python)
