The nitty gritty
Company website: www.sanlo.io
Location: SF or Remote
Who you’d be working for: Olya Caliujnaia, Co-Founder & CEO
What is Sanlo?
Gaming & apps represent a unique, beautiful and creative industry that so skillfully combines data with design. Yet, for many, financing is too often mysterious or inaccessible. The app economy is growing and has unique characteristics and challenges that deserve its own suite of financial services.
We provide predictive and fast capital on transparent terms to the gaming and mobile app companies. In addition, we offer our customers lightweight financial analysis to help identify areas for deploying additional funds. We exist because every gaming and app company with great products should have access to advice and capital that they need to grow.
We are a small founding team with deep experience in gaming + consumer product and fintech. We're supported by a select group of investors whom we deeply respect and admire.
What it's like to work at Sanlo:
We're a young company and a small team, so you'll have an opportunity to shape not just our product, but the company itself: who we work with and how we work together. We're remote-first. We strive to be clear in our communication and over-communicate by default.
All of us come from different parts of the world and have different backgrounds. As such, we're looking for someone who fits into our diverse team and values diversity themselves. We won’t be able to fulfill our vision if our team looks and thinks the same and we hope that you believe that too.
What you'll be doing:
As the founding member of the Business Operations Team, you will report directly to our CEO and work closely with the whole team to run projects from ideation to completion. You are laser-focused on building up the operating rhythm of Sanlo to support strategy execution.
Own the day-to-day operations of Sanlo
Keep projects on track day to day, solve bottlenecks, re-prioritize efforts based on customer feedback and analyze the impact across milestones
Ensure teams set and hit aggressive productivity and quality goals
Work closely with leadership to lead workstreams and drive clarity, decisiveness and accountability across the business
Help design and implement new operational workflows that support Sanlo's product roadmap and streamline internal processes
Perform analyses and research that help us make the right growth decisions for Sanlo
Conduct data analysis and research to help guide the direction of the business
Identify insights around processes, scalability and customer satisfaction
Provide analytical and cross-functional support on strategic initiatives and projects that support Sanlo's growth goals
We're looking for someone with:
You have 3+ years of experience in consulting or product or project management in high growth tech companies, taking initiatives from conception to launch
You enjoy doing whatever it takes to execute on complex projects
You have a process-oriented mindset and ability to lead people to get things done
You are low ego and have a knack for working well with a wide range of people
Your organizational skills are superb - you can wrangle chaos into efficient workflows and documentation
You are as passionate about operations as you are about culture development at a startup
You think big and love working without constraints by bringing fresh and innovative ideas to life
You understand the importance of speed and quality and the right balance between the two
You have experience deriving insights from data
You are highly entrepreneurial and comfortable with ambiguity and taking initiative
Bonus Points:
