Strategy & Business Operations Manager

JOB SUMMARY

As a member of our Strategy & Business Operations team, you will lead planning and delivery of high priority projects. Projects include accelerating new offerings, identifying and fostering new partnerships, streamlining our operating rhythm, and fostering cross-functional collaboration. The team partners with business and product leaders to drive B-Stock’s strategy, identify opportunities for growth and investment, and drive innovation and best-in-class execution across teams. You'll also raise how the team works by applying AI to accelerate research, analysis, and synthesis, building toward more automated approaches to recurring strategy and operations work over time. This person would report directly to the Vice President of Strategy & Business Operations.

B-Stock is an office-first company. You will be expected to work on-site three days per week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at one of our office in Boston, MA, with Monday and Friday remaining non-office days where you may perform your duties remotely from your residence. We believe having consistent time together helps teams stay connected to the work happening across the business, collaborate in real time, and move ideas and decisions forward more effectively.

ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Drive end-to-end strategic projects to define and accelerate the company’s top growth priorities
• Lead B-Stock’s foray into new segments, offerings, or partnerships leveraging the depth of B-Stock’s data, customer relationships, and network

• Help business leaders and executives make smart decisions and drive them to implementation by bringing data, analysis, and industry expertise to bear.
• Identify and implement AI-enabled workflows and automations within Strategy & Business Operations to compress analysis cycles and scale the team's output
• Design and run the operating cadence — planning cycles, business reviews, and cross-functional execution — turning strategy into delivered outcomes, not just recommendations.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS, JOB SKILLS, ABILITIES

• 5+ years in a strategy, consulting, finance, or business-operations role where you personally drove problems from hypothesis to delivered result
• You're highly analytical and quantitatively fluent — you bring rigor to decisions and structure ambiguous problems, model in spreadsheets, pressure-test assumptions, and quantify the size of the prize.
• You have a bias to impact — you've owned initiatives from strategy through execution and can point to outcomes you shipped
• You communicate with clarity and influence — distilling complex analysis into simple, actionable recommendations that help executives make fast, confident decisions
• Hands-on experience applying AI tools within analytical or operating workflows to build automations or multi-step processes, and comfort quickly adopting new AI capabilities as they emerge
• You have a learning mindset and adapt quickly - we learn new things every day

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Two-sided marketplace, Retail, Logistics and/or Supply Chain experience
• Interest in or exposure to reverse logistics, returns, or the circular economy
• Experience taking a new product, segment, or initiative from 0-to-1
• MBA or advanced degree from a top program, or equivalent experience

The pay rate for this role will range between $110,000 to $150,000, per annum. We consider many factors when determining salary offers, such as the applicant’s work experience, education and training, skills, market data, and internal equity.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

• Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits
• Paid Time Off, telecommuting, and matching 401(K)

THE COMPANY

B-Stock is the world's largest B2B re-commerce platform, connecting sellers and buyers of returned, trade-in, and overstock inventory. Our customers range from today’s top brands and retailers that want best-in-class inventory resale management to tens of thousands of entrepreneurs looking to purchase valuable merchandise for their resale businesses.

While the amount of returned and overstock inventory continues to grow, there is also growing pressure on retailers and consumers to adopt a more circular economy and keep products in use as long as possible. Accordingly, the need for re-commerce solutions - to find products a second life - has never been greater! At B-Stock we’re proud to play a large part in powering resale, reuse, and the circular economy through our platform: annually we sell over 130 million items across all categories and conditions, equating to 400 million pounds of inventory.

We believe there is tremendous value in and demand for this inventory - no matter the category, condition, or location. With hundreds of thousands transactions completed annually, B-Stock gives buyers a simple and direct way to buy valuable products directly from retailers and offers sellers a technology-driven replacement for traditional resale methods, while boosting operational efficiency, recovery rates, and cycle time.

Led by eBay veterans and backed by top investors including Spectrum Equity, True Ventures, and Susquehanna Growth Equity, B-Stock shows no signs of slowing down. Our core values have shaped the company we are today and will continue to drive our success for many years to come.

OUR VALUES

Make Each Dollar Count

Whether it’s the recovery amount or a buyer’s budget, money matters to all of our clients. And because each dollar matters to them, it matters to us.

Take Our Work Seriously, Not Ourselves

Everything at B-Stock continues to grow - everything but our egos, that is. We’re not afraid to let loose and laugh (often at ourselves).

Do The Hard Things Today That Will Pay Off Tomorrow

We’re willing to sacrifice and endure, fail and adapt to reach our long-term goals.

Use Trust As The Best Measure Of Success

The trust we earn along the way is more valuable than money. Without trust from both our buyers and sellers, our business won’t succeed.

Find Strength In Numbers

Use our passion for data to provide value to our customers, improve ourselves, and develop new ways to delight our buyers and sellers.

No applicant will face discrimination/harassment based on race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, or veteran status. Above and beyond discrimination/harassment based on “protected categories,” B-Stock also strives to prevent other, subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (e.g., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our office. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at B-Stock.
