About SafeLease

At SafeLease, we're rethinking how P&C insurance is sold in an age of technological change. We believe the industry's biggest inefficiencies aren't technical problems — they're structural ones. And we're building the team to tackle them.

SafeLease is a profitable insurance business that designs, underwrites, and distributes specialty coverage for commercial property owners and their tenants. Most insurance companies either distribute products or bear the risk — we do both. We back our policies with our own capital, which means we control the full stack: product design, tech, and the speed at which we move. That end-to-end ownership lets us offer customers real flexibility, saving time and money for more than 4,000 properties insured for billions in value nationwide.

We're a team of 70, growing over 100% annually, and we've done it without sacrificing profitability or culture. Here, you'll get high discretion and a wide aperture of problems to solve. We embrace the newest technologies, move fast together, and operate with the intensity of a small company where every person's work is visible. If you're looking for a place to sharpen your craft alongside people who take their work seriously, you'll fit right in.

We are seeking a Strategy & Operations Manager with a consulting background to lead cross-departmental initiatives, partnering with Product, Go-To-Market (GTM), Support, and other teams to drive strategic and operational excellence. This role demands exceptional project management skills, strategic vision, and the ability to align cross-functional efforts with organizational goals in a fast-paced environment.

• Oversee and drive high-impact, cross-functional projects, ensuring alignment with company strategy and timely execution.

• Collaborate with Product, GTM, and Support teams to identify opportunities for operational improvements and implement scalable solutions.

• Develop and monitor KPIs to evaluate the success of strategic initiatives and operational processes.

• Lead the creation of project plans, timelines, and resource allocation to ensure successful project delivery.

• Provide strategic recommendations to senior leadership based on data analysis and industry trends.

• Facilitate cross-departmental collaboration, managing stakeholder relationships to drive consensus and outcomes.

• Mentor and guide junior team members in project execution and operational strategy.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, or a related field; MBA or advanced degree strongly preferred.

• 2-8 years of experience in management consulting, with a focus on strategy, operations, or transformation projects.

• Exceptional project management skills, with experience leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives.

• Strong analytical skills, with expertise in tools like Excel, SQL, or Tableau for strategic analysis and reporting.

• Proven ability to influence and manage senior stakeholders across multiple departments.

• Experience working with Product, GTM, or Support teams in dynamic, high-growth environments.

• Ability to navigate complexity and drive results in ambiguous, fast-paced settings.

• Experience leading operational or strategic initiatives in tech or startup environments.

• Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Asana, Jira, or Monday.com).

• Deep understanding of GTM strategies or product development processes.

• Experience in the self-storage and/or insurance industry.
