Strategy and Operations Manager

4 weeks ago

New York, United States SONA Full time
The real economy employs 3 billion people in frontline jobs, yet frontline teams are still left to choose between paper and Excel or decade-old workforce management solutions to take care of the most important part of their businesses - their people.

Enter Sona, the Frontline Operating System; an end-to-end platform to manage a shift-based workforce and empower its teams. Sona upgrades the functionality you expect from any workforce management software - including scheduling, time & attendance, HR, and Payroll - with industry-specific plugins, dedicated features to empower staff, and a consumer-grade experience that simplifies frontline work for everyone.

In just three years, we've already made a deep impact on the lives of tens of thousands of frontline workers and the operation of their organizations, grown the team to 100+, and following our recent $27.5M Series A fundraise, have secured the backing of notable VC's including Felicis, Northzone, Gradient Ventures (Google AI), SpeedInvest, Antler, and Notion Capital plus notable angels like Tom Blomfield (Monzo).

It's a hugely exciting time to be joining this rocketship, as we're still small enough that you'll have a significant impact on the company, growth trajectory and culture, yet large enough that we have a great structure, experienced leaders and world-class benefits in place (such as being fully remote with fully flexible schedule). More on working at Sona here.

About the Role

As the second hire into Sona's Strategy and Operations function, you'll own and support on key cross-functional initiatives - ranging from strategic finance to GTM operations to US expansion to market analyses, with an emphasis on all things top of mind for the CEO, CFO, and the board.

Reporting to Asif Moosani and working closely with our founders and senior leadership, it's an ideal role for someone who wants to work in a fast-paced and impactful environment, seeking deep exposure to the inner workings of a high performing SaaS startup/scaleup and significant impact on its growth.

Responsibilities

Day to day, you will be:

  • Developing and maintaining financial models to support budgeting, forecasting, and long-term planning
  • Conducting variance analysis and provide insights into financial performance against targets
  • Supporting strategic initiatives by providing financial analysis and business case development
  • Assisting in preparing presentations and reports for investors, board members, and other stakeholders
Requirements
  • Background or experience in investment banking, ideally with a focus Tech or TMT
  • Strong grasp of SaaS business models (unit economics, valuation methodologies). Time spent at a startup or in venture investing is a plus.
  • Proficiency in financial modeling, data analysis, and turning these into actionable insights
  • Experienced in conducting market research, competitive analyses, market sizing exercises, and data procurement
  • Based in NYC, or willing to relocate
Benefits:
  • Salary: $180-210k total cash (base + bonus split tbc)
  • Share options
  • Fully remote and flexible working (including 4.5 day week on best efforts basis)
  • 35 days annual leave (25 days standard plus 10 flexible public holiday days)
  • Pension contributions matched up to 2%
  • Comprehensive Health Insurance via UnitedHealthcare
  • Enhanced parental leave & pay
  • Co-working space stipend
  • Quarterly all expenses paid team retreats
  • The latest Macbook and equipment budget for your home office
  • Professional development budget
  • Unlimited free books


Working at Sona

We take our health and mental health seriously, believing that we can only perform to our best when we are healthy, happy, and in control of when, where, and how we work. That's why we're fully remote and everyone works a 4.5 day week (you choose when you take the half day) with a fully flexible schedule.

We balance this with regular virtual stand-ups and all-hands so we're all aligned, and paid-for, in-person meet-ups so you can get to know your colleagues.
