About the Role
The Business Operations & Strategy Lead will play a central role in shaping Baselane’s operating system. You will drive impacts across the organization – whether it is scaling Baselane’s inbound sales function, automating our fraud engine, or quarterbacking compliance in a shifting FinTech landscape. This is an opportunity for high levels of responsibility and ownership that will directly influence the trajectory of a high-growth fintech.
The role is ideal for an ambitious, intelligent, structured, and data-driven operator who thrives in ambiguous environments and can perform on long-form, complex deliverables.
Responsibilities
Strategy & Financial Analysis/RevOps
Shape Baselane’s models and related analyses to evaluate growth plans, resource allocations between initiatives, and frame strategic trade-offs
Communicate key business drivers to the leadership team across financial levers, product sensitivities, or customer expansion
Establish and manage Baselane’s cadence for OKRs and KPI tracking, ensuring visibility and accountability across the organization
Cross-Functional Programs & Infrastructure
Manage key operational initiatives - such as the design & rollout of Baselane’s automated fraud & risk scoring engine and in-sourcing of KYC flows
Support the day-to-day management of key infrastructure across our banking and payment processing products
More generally, work across the company to pitch in wherever help is needed; one day you might be working with Sales to improve AE efficiency, the next you may be working with our CEO on a board deck, and then you might be working with our CX team to improve the performance of our generative AI chatbot
Risk & Regulatory Programs
Drive readiness for Baselane’s SOC 2 certification and other critical InfoSec requirements
Help Baselane establish best practices in compliance (AML/OFAC, entity-level filings, risk management) as we scale and own these responsibilities internally
Serve as a direct partner with our sponsor bank on audits and compliance initiatives, ensuring Baselane stays ahead of regulatory trends
What we’re looking for
- 3+ years of relevant experience: You have experience in consulting, venture capital, business operations, or product/ops roles. You have a track record of leading cross-functional initiatives and delivering results in fast-paced environments.
- Operator’s mindset: You are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive on solving complex problems. You move quickly but thoughtfully, balancing speed with quality.
- Systems thinker: You design processes and frameworks that scale, not just put out fires. You can manage multiple initiatives at once and drive them to completion with a high level of detail and accountability.
- Analytically rigorous: You ground decisions in data and can frame trade-offs clearly. You’re comfortable with financial modeling (Excel required; SQL a plus).
- Highly collaborative: You build strong relationships across the organization and external partners, and can jump into mission-critical projects to accelerate deliverables.
- Self-starter: You proactively identify gaps and opportunities, take initiative without waiting for direction, and bring forward solutions that improve the business.
- Low ego, high impact: No project is too big or too small — you’ll jump into the weeds when needed but keep your eye on the big picture.
- Excellent communicator: You distill complexity into clear insights and updates for leadership, partners, and the board.
