About the role
TL;DR
Drive high-stakes business operations projects and strategic initiatives.
- •The business operations team at Base is a lean group of generalists who take high-stakes, not-very-defined problems, gives them structure, and drives them to completion.
- •The work changes with the company's priorities: one quarter it's owning the integration of an acquisition end to end, the next it's structuring a partnership with a national brand, building the analysis behind a new market entry, or standing up the operating cadence for a function scaling faster than its process.
- •Key Responsibilities Own one high-leverage problem at a time; today that's the integration of a recent acquisition; next it might be a commercial partnership, a market entry, or a financing Structure ambiguous problems; define the goal, name the owners, write the memo that forces the tradeoff, and get leadership to a decision in days, not weeks Build the analysis yourself; the model, the scoreboard, the one-pager Run programs across functions without authority; rally owners in engineering, market operations, legal, finance, and customer operations around the mission Work directly with Base's leadership team; your work usually touches the highest-level decisions Requirements 4-8 years including a foundation at a top consulting firm with top-bucket ratings; bonus points if followed by an operating seat where you owned outcomes, not recommendations A cross-functional program you personally ran end to end; an integration, market entry, partnership launch, or turnaround Analytical horsepower; you build the model yourself, sanity-check it against reality, and know which three numbers matter Writing that moves decisions Comfort operating without a map; you define your own mandate, create structure where none exists, and don't need permission to start
