Sydney, Australia Simply Wall St Full time

Head of Strategy & Operations (Strategy, Growth, Ops, Finance) SaaS B2C Startup

**Our Mission**

Simply Wall St exists to enable individuals to succeed at stock investing and achieve their financial goals. The stock market offers an exceptional opportunity for wealth-building, but many fail.

Our product embodies the principles of long-term investing, giving individual investors the capabilities to understand stocks and build a portfolio that was previously only available to professionals or institutions.

**Why Join?**
- Help us empower individuals by giving them a new way to invest in stocks;
- Work at a profitable, global, B2C SaaS startup;
- Operating at scale with 6.5 million users, across 180 countries;
- Small team and flexible working environment;
- Work with a product customers love: 4.5* Trustpilot Reviews;
- Strong employee retention with 70% of the team with us for >2 years.

This is a unique opportunity for the right person who understands how product-led organisations work to help us continue our mission to empower individual stock investors. While the role has some core areas of ownership, you'll find solutions to whatever problems arise to drive the business forward.

- Help strategic ideas take root and provide early facilitation and implementation.
- Responsible for setting company milestones and ensuring the right organisational structure for the team to achieve their goals, finding knowledge and skills gaps and helping to address them.

**Other**
- Move between operating tactically, strategically and operationally, often connecting the dots across teams and filling the gaps where a project doesn't fall neatly within one function's area of responsibility
- Enabling the success of the leadership team by being accountable for any operational strategic projects that fall between the seems across the business.
