About

the role As Strategy & Operations Manager, you will support the Chief of Staff and the Head of Autonomous Driving - turning ambiguous, high-priority challenges into structured plans and measurable outcomes. You will own critical workstreams that sit at the intersection of strategy, finance, and operations, working closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to keep the programme moving at pace.

the team makes decisions, allocates resources, and presents itself externally - influencing outcomes that are fundamental to the future of the programme. Main tasks and

responsibilities: Own the end-to-end project management for strategic projects. Coordinate across internal teams (Product, Engineering, Legal, Public Policy, Finance) and external advisors to prepare compelling business plans and management reports. Partner with senior leadership on strategic decision making by preparing market analyses (TAM, unit economics, competitive intelligence, regulatory landscape), detailed multi-scenario financial models and business cases. Own the annual and quarterly budgeting cycle for the Autonomous Driving programme. Track budget vs. actuals, identify variances, and drive corrective action. Coordinate with central FP&A and Accounting teams across the financial reporting cycles. Provide structured analysis and recommendations to support high-stakes decisions. Build frameworks for evaluating market opportunities, operational trade-offs, and investment priorities, and distil complex information into concise outputs for senior leadership. Act as the connective tissue between the Autonomous Driving team and the rest of the organisation to drive alignment and accelerate execution. About you: Significant experience (5-8+ years) in strategy, investment banking, management consulting, or a high-growth tech or venture environment. Strong financial modelling skills, with experience building business plans, scenario analyses etc. Proven track record managing complex, cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities. Experience with institutional funding applications or grant management is a strong advantage. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - able to translate complex analysis into clear, compelling narratives for senior audiences. Highly structured and self-directed, with the ability to operate with ambiguity and drive clarity independently. Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity.
