The BizOps team is focused on solving some of Plaid's most pressing business issues. We are a small team of high-impact, low-ego generalist problem solvers. This role partners directly with leaders across Product and GTM on a mix of strategic and operational work with a direct, quantifiable impact on our customers, partners, and P&L. You will work on problems that directly shape how Plaid operates across its largest revenue lines and most critical partnerships - owning analysis, operating cadences, and cross-functional projects that span Product, GTM, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Partnerships. BizOps is a launchpad: past team members have gone on to leadership roles in Product, GTM, and operational functions across Plaid. The role requires someone who is highly analytical, approaches problems in a structured manner, and is proactive in the face of ambiguity.
Responsibilities:
Acting as the strategic and operational backbone for a Product or GTM organization - your job is to identify the highest-leverage opportunities and drive them to clean outcomes
Leading important product strategy and cross-functional work that doesn’t sit neatly within one team or function, such as launching new products, improving go-to-market motions, or accelerating revenue
Owning foundational operating rhythms - monthly business reports, QBRs, OKRs and KPIs, executive reporting - and evolving them as the business scales
Building out dashboards, metrics, and success measures that give leadership visibility and enable data-driven decisions
Using AI tools and agents as a default part of how you work - not as an experiment, but as a force multiplier
Qualifications:
6–11 years in management consulting, investment banking, and/or operating roles (BizOps, Strategy & Ops, Finance)
Strong analytical and structured-thinking skills; comfort translating ambiguity into frameworks, plans, and decisions
High agency, sense of ownership, and willingness to roll up your sleeves
Ability to build relationships at all levels and drive cross-functional teams to action
Familiarity with AI tools and agents to accelerate workflows is a plus
Knowledge of SQL and Tableau preferred
Experience in fintech, payments, or high-growth SaaS preferred
