Strategy and Operations Manager

ABOUT ASPORA

People on the move deserve a bank that moves with them. Since 2022, Aspora has been building a borderless financial operating system that makes money as mobile and transparent as its users.

Backed by influential venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Hummingbird Ventures, Y Combinator & Global Founders Capital. We're a team of 75+ across India, the UK, the UAE, EU and the US, working with extreme ownership, radical candour, and an obsession with customer impact.

We celebrate builders who question assumptions, ship fast, and turn regulatory complexity into elegant solutions. If you’re driven to redefine what global banking can be, we’d love to build the future with you.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a Strategy & Operations Manager to join our Remittance pod. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and execution — helping drive clarity in a fast-moving environment. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to diagnose problems, uncover opportunities, and ensure we’re making the right decisions backed by data.

This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys structured problem-solving, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to directly influence business outcomes.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Track and analyse business performance across corridors, conversion funnels, TAT, and revenue — translating insights into clear, actionable recommendations (not just reports)

• Lead structured problem-solving on key operational and strategic challenges: define problems, gather data, build cases, and drive solutions end-to-end

• Prepare high-quality materials for leadership reviews — owning the rigour, clarity, and narrative presented to senior stakeholders

• Build frameworks that enable faster and better decision-making across the pod, including:

• Competitive benchmarking

• Pricing inputs

• Market sizing

• Go / no-go assessments

• Act as the connective tissue between Product, Finance, Compliance, and Operations — ensuring alignment and context-sharing across teams

• Proactively identify risks and opportunities before they surface, and drive early action

REQUIREMENTS

• 3–5 years of total experience, including:

• Time at a top-tier consulting firm (MBB or equivalent)

• Experience at a fast-growing startup or high-growth company

• Prior transition from consulting to startup — comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-paced environments

• Strong analytical skills — able to build structured, data-backed arguments even with imperfect data

• Familiarity with SQL or BI tools is a plus

• Excellent written and verbal communication — able to craft sharp one-pagers and confidently present to senior stakeholders

• Highly structured thinker with strong ownership and bias for action

• Based in Bangalore, or willing to relocate
