preply - Senior Data Strategy & Operations Lead

• 7+ years of experience in strategy, operations, or planning, ideally in a high-growth tech environment. • Hands-on experience working closely with data, analytics, or AI/ML teams: you understand how these teams operate, what they deliver, and what slows them down. • Technical familiarity: you can follow conversations about data pipelines, ML models, experimentation frameworks, and AI product features without needing everything translated. You are not expected to write code, but you should be comfortable in technical environments. • Proven track record running operating cadences (OKRs, roadmap reviews, business reviews) and driving cross-functional alignment in complex organisations. • Strong program and project leadership: you take ambiguous, cross-functional problems from definition to delivery with minimal hand-holding. • Excellent stakeholder management: you build trust with both technical and non-technical leaders, communicate with clarity, and know how to influence without authority, including executive leadership. • Highly data-driven: comfortable building models, spreadsheets, and dashboards to inform decisions. SQL or BI tool experience (e.g., Looker, Tableau) is a plus. • Exceptional bias to action: you keep momentum high, unblock work proactively, and know how to get things done in fast-moving environments. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing executive-level updates, presentations, and documentation. • Proficient user of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Cursor): you actively use AI to accelerate your work, whether for drafting, analysis, research, or automation, and you stay current with how these tools are evolving. • Previous experience as a data analyst, data scientist, or in a technical role before moving into strategy/operations. • Familiarity with AI/ML product development lifecycles and the specific challenges of shipping AI-powered features. • Experience with marketplace or edtech businesses. • SQL fluency and comfort working directly with data tools. • Experience supporting VP or C-level leaders as a strategic partner or Chief of Staff-type role. • Care to change the world - We are passionate about our work and care deeply about its impact to be life changing. • We do it for learners - For both Preply and tutors, learners are why we do what we do.
