What are the responsibilities and job description for the Strategy & Operations Manager position at Abode?
About Abode Money
Abode Money is an AI fintech startup helping homeowners automate savings on property taxes, energy, insurance, and more. We use proprietary agentic AI to simplify data retrieval, parsing, analysis, and decisioning to optimize costs on behalf of homeowners.
There’s a home affordability crisis happening with the cost of owning a home rising 50% in the last 5 years alone - yet there’s no current solution out there for homeowners to manage these rising costs.
Abode Money is the financial manager for homeowners by offering a “no-brainer” solution where we proactively manage and automate savings on an ongoing basis. Onboarding takes less than 60 seconds, and our users are saving $2,512 per year.
Our competitors are slow and people-intensive. We have the benefit of having started Abode Money in a “post-AI world”, meaning we layer AI into both our foundational technology and core business functions. Our team operates with a bias for action and a scrappy, resourceful mindset.
We’re backed by Tier 1 investors, including Core VC, Drive Capital, Sequoia Capital, Goodwater, and The 81 Collection.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: Make homeownership more affordable for everyday homeowners.
We’re leveraging AI to bring more transparency and less friction to home financial services. Our goal is to be the first place every homeowner goes to make any decision related to homeownership. Abode Money will be to homeowners what Zillow is to homebuyers.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a Strategy & Ops Manager to spearhead new initiatives, launch new markets, and drive operational excellence. This role is for a true owner who thrives in ambiguity, rolls up their sleeves, and takes problems from ideation all the way through execution with little oversight.
You’ll be at the center of Abode Money’s growth strategy - designing systems, scaling operations, and ensuring that our financial platform for homeowners works seamlessly and expands rapidly.
