They relentlessly optimize for efficiency and quality and enjoy the challenge of developing operational solutions.

  • Lead a BPO team in all tasks related to new supply growth, the application process, and onboarding of new supply.  Coordinate staffing and scheduling with BPO management.  
  • Drive step-changes in operational performance - map out complex processes, develop and track new metrics, and implement creative solutions to optimize or automate core processes.
  • Develop and execute strategic projects for direct bottom-line impact - think of new opportunities, run experiments, and work cross-functionally to plan and execute innovative solutions around quality acquisition and cost reduction.
  • Design and implement programs intended to increase the number of top-of-funnel applicants above and beyond those we bring in through paid marketing campaigns.
  • Partner closely with the Success and Fulfillment teams to ensure independent contractors are in the right place at the right time, providing a high level of service to customers.  

Your Areas Of Expertise:

  • At least 4 years of work experience in strategy consulting, investment banking or operations at a tech startup or marketplace company.
