EMEA Strategy and Operations

As EMEA Strategy and Operations lead, you will develop country and regional strategies, identify the most important market opportunities and barriers, align cross-functional teams around a focused set of priorities, and personally drive initiatives through to measurable outcomes.

This is an individual-contributor role. The primary focus is Consumer, with opportunities to create adjacent impact across B2B. You will go deep in a small number of priority markets while building approaches that can scale across EMEA.

This is not a strategy-only role. The successful candidate will combine rigorous analysis and market judgment with urgency, hands-on execution and the ability to influence without formal authority.

Responsibilities:

• Build country and regional strategies: Develop plans, priorities and forecasts for key European markets and translate company strategy into practical local action.
• Drive growth and conversion: Use data, customer insight and experimentation to improve acquisition, engagement, retention, conversion and monetization.
• Lead market expansion and localization: Identify opportunities, build scalable launch frameworks and determine where products and go-to-market should adapt.
• Turn strategy into execution: Personally move initiatives from diagnosis and prioritization through delivery, measurement and iteration.
• Lead cross-functional teams: Align Product, Growth, Marketing, Brand, Partnerships, Finance, Research, Operations and Compliance around shared outcomes.
• Represent regional insight: Ensure European market and customer perspectives shape global roadmaps and decisions.
• Measure and scale impact: Define success metrics and determine when a successful local approach should be replicated.

Requirements:

• Have 10 years + of experience in growth, strategy, business operations or quantitative analytics with meaningful responsibility for outcomes.
• Have developed country, regional or multi-market strategies and translated them into focused execution plans.
• Bring exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, including forecasting, financial modeling and growth metrics.
• Can show examples of personally taking initiatives from insight through launch and measurement.
• Understand European markets while maintaining a regional and scalable perspective.
• Communicate clearly with senior stakeholders and influence teams without formal authority.
• Operate with high ownership and urgency in ambiguous, resource-constrained environments.
• Have a deep interest in AI and alignment with OpenAI’s mission.
