## Job description

Why Socure? Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts.

## About the role

We are hiring a Strategic Operations Lead, Tier 1 Banks to serve as a force multiplier for our Tier 1 Banks segment.

- Track follow-ups and ensure accountability across the pod

Cross-Functional Leadership

- Act as liaison with Marketing on campaign planning, execution, and performance tracking
- Coordinate event targeting, invites, and post-event follow-up
- Partner with Sales, Solutions Consulting, Customer Success, RevOps, and Finance to ensure aligned execution

Operational Excellence & Strategy

- Identify process gaps and drive continuous improvement initiatives
- Support development and implementation of AI tools and automation strategies
- Handle ad-hoc operational needs

Pod Leadership Enablement

- Provide day-to-day leverage for pod leaders through scheduling, prioritization, and project tracking
- Take ownership of ambiguous, high-impact initiatives and drive them to completion

## What you bring

## Experience

- 2–4 years of experience (or 1–2 years post-MBA) in consulting, investment banking, private equity, or other a highly analytical role
- Experience working in demanding, high-performance environments

## Skills & Attributes

- Highly analytical with strong financial modeling and problem-solving skills
- Exceptional communication and stakeholder management abilities
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
- High attention to detail with a bias toward action

Mindset (What Success Looks Like at Socure) We hire curious builders who:

- Take ownership and operate with a “founder mentality”
- Are deeply customer-focused and connect their work to revenue outcomes
- Thrive in ambiguity and move quickly to solve problems
- Continuously learn, iterate, and improve
- Understand how the full business (Product, GTM, Data Science) connects to drive results

## Why This Role

- High visibility and direct exposure to GTM leadership
- Opportunity to transition into revenue, strategy, or operational roles
- Build deep expertise in banking, identity, and fraud
- Play a critical role in scaling a high-growth business
