About the Role

We’re looking for a smart, resourceful, and analytically strong individual to join our Financial Services team as Strategy & Operations Manager (Financial Services). This role is an opportunity to help build and scale a growing business within Clutch, working across Product, Engineering, Data, Marketing, Sales, and our external lending partners.

We’re looking for a high-agency generalist who can flex across different problems, bring structure to ambiguity, and independently take ideas from analysis through execution.

What You'll Do

Drive Strategic Projects

  • Lead strategic initiatives across Financial Services, from identifying opportunities through analysis, execution, and measurement.
  • Help identify and execute opportunities to grow our financing and insurance business and expand the number of customers we can serve.
  • Build business cases, analyses, reports, and recommendations independently to drive decision-making.

Work Cross-Functionally to Build

  • Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data, Marketing, and Sales to improve our product offering and customer journey.
  • Translate business problems into actionable solutions, whether that means digging into data, building a mockup, or helping define a new product or process.
  • Move quickly from identifying a problem to testing and implementing solutions.

Support Financial Services Strategy

  • Analyze customer, funnel, and financial performance to identify opportunities and inform strategy.
  • Bring a Financial Services lens to product and business decisions across Clutch.
  • Build and manage relationships with major Canadian lenders and other external partners.

Self-Learning & Experimentation

  • Take initiative to learn new tools and technologies with minimal handholding.
  • Use AI and modern tools to analyze problems, build faster, and improve how the team operates.
  • Thrive in an environment where many of the problems you’ll tackle don't come with an existing playbook.

What We're Looking For

  • 4+ years of experience in management consulting, strategy & operations, product, fintech, financial services, or a high-performing startup environment.
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort using data to solve complex business problems.
  • Proven ability to independently own projects from problem definition through execution.
  • Strong builder mentality. You’re comfortable rolling up your sleeves and creating the analysis, process, mockup, or solution yourself.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and able to move quickly across different types of problems.
  • Strong cross-functional skills, particularly working with Product, Engineering, and Data teams.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • High-agency, curious, and resourceful. You take ownership and don’t wait to be told what to do.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in consumer lending, banking, credit, or fintech.
  • Management consulting experience within Financial Services.
  • Experience working on financial products or partnering closely with Product teams.

Why You’ll Love It at Clutch

  • Be part of a disruptive, tech-driven company transforming the automotive industry
  • Join a well-funded business with product-market fit and space to drive impact
  • Freedom to innovate and ownership over meaningful projects
  • Opportunities for growth and development in a rapidly scaling company
  • Competitive compensation and equity incentives
  • Health & dental benefits

Employment Type

  • Existing, Permanent Full-Time

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: $120,000 - $170,000 annually plus stock options
  • Benefits: Comprehensive healthcare, dental, vision, prescriptions, life insurance, and dependent coverage; starting from day 1.
  • Pay decisions reflect skills, performance, market benchmarking, responsibilities, and working conditions.
