What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sr. Manager, Operations Strategy position at Curri?
The Role:
We’re looking for a Sr Manager, Operations Strategy to own Curri’s most complex, cross-functional operational initiatives and provide leverage to Operations leadership. This role operates as an extension of Ops leadership — driving clarity, execution, and results across high-stakes initiatives that don’t fit neatly within a single team. You will be trusted to take ambiguous problems, establish ownership, and deliver measurable business impact.
What You Will Do:
We are Curri and our mission is to be the way the world delivers construction and industrial supplies. Curri provides on-demand, last-mile logistics for construction and adjacent industries with our nationwide fleet of cars, trucks, and flatbeds. Curri was founded in 2018 and was a part of the YC S19 Batch. Employees work out of our office in Ventura, CA, but the majority of our fast-growing start-up operates remotely, with over 100 employees spread across the United States. We're solving a massive, global problem of inefficiency in the construction industry through innovative technology and AI-driven solutions. We imagine a world of efficient construction sites resulting in a net win for the entire world. Find out more at curri.com.

What You Will Do:
- Own and drive Curri’s highest-priority, cross-functional Operations initiatives end-to-end. - Lead Operations goal setting, KPI definition, reporting, and business reviews. - Identify operational gaps and push solutions through execution with rigor and accountability. - Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Finance, Sales, and Operations leaders to align priorities and execution. - Provide clear, concise analysis, recommendations, and updates to executive leadership. - Serve as a force multiplier for Operations leadership by taking full ownership of complex, ambiguous work.
- Ability to take ambiguous, cross-functional problems and own them end-to-end. - Strong operational judgment with a demonstrated ability to balance depth vs. speed. - Proven track record of driving execution without formal authority. - Highly analytical mindset; comfortable using data to diagnose issues and make decisions. - Clear, direct communication skills with senior leaders and operators.
- Experience in marketplace or complex operations environments. - Background in operations strategy or business operations roles at a fast growing company. - Experience at high-scale operators (e.g., Uber, DoorDash, Flexport, Lyft) or top-tier consulting / investment banking firms. - Demonstrated history of true ownership — not just advisory work.
- True ownership of Curri’s hardest operational problems with real business impact. - Direct partnership with executive leadership and high visibility across the company. - Opportunity to shape how Curri operates at scale. - Remote-friendly role with preference for Ventura-based candidates. - Competitive compensation and benefits including health, dental, vision, 401K, and equity.
