Strategic Operator

Streaming TV is no longer just a brand awareness channel. It’s becoming a core part of the performance marketing mix, alongside search and social. Vibe.co is building the platform that makes TV work like the rest of the acquisition stack: targeted, measurable, and optimized for results.

Vibe.co is an Audience First Streaming TV Advertising platform that gives marketers the tools to reach the right audiences, optimize campaigns in real time, and understand what’s actually driving business outcomes. With hyper-targeted segmentation, AI-powered recommendations, real-time optimization, and incrementality measurement, Vibe brings the precision and accountability of digital advertising to the biggest screen in the house.

Today, more than 12,000 brands use Vibe.co to reach 120 million+ households. And in August 2026, Vibe.co became a Walmart company, opening up a new chapter for the business and the industry. With Walmart’s first-party data and purchase signals now part of the Vibe platform, advertisers can connect TV advertising to real-world transactions and measure the impact of CTV with a level of precision previously associated with platforms like Google and Meta.

This is a unique moment to join Vibe. With Walmart’s scale, data, and reach behind us, we’re building the next generation of TV advertising and creating a more measurable, performance-driven future for the channel.

About the Role

Vibe is a streaming TV advertising platform, and our biggest projects now touch every team in the company, plus teams at our largest partners. As a Strategic Operator, you’ll work side by side with our leadership team on the company’s most strategic and operational challenges, reporting to our VP of Strategic Initiatives. Right now, these projects have no single owner tracking delivery, sizing impact, and escalating to unblock, so that’s where you come in. Depending on your focus, you’ll partner with our revenue or our technology and product leaders, co-owning high-stakes work and taking new initiatives from first test to a working process. You’ll get real exposure to C-level decision-making and a clear path to grow into leading a team.

What You'll Do

• Own delivery on company-wide projects that span every team at Vibe and our largest partners

• Align stakeholders across tech, product, and GTM teams on shared priorities

• Track progress across every workstream so issues surface before they cascade

• Size the business impact of slippage to guide re-prioritization across teams

• Escalate blockers to the executive team with a clear recommendation

• Build the operating cadences that help teams execute high-stakes initiatives consistently

Launch 0→1 initiatives

• Size the expected impact of new strategic initiatives

• Build business cases for initiatives that need investment, from ROI models to budget envelopes, in partnership with our BizOps team

• Test traction on new ideas before they scale

• Build the operating process that turns a proven concept into a running initiative

• Shape the team that runs an initiative once it proves out

• Take full ownership of one initiative within your first six months

Work alongside the leadership team

• Co-own initiatives with executive leaders, driving the work that makes them land

• Own special projects that don’t fit a typical job description but are critical to how we scale

What You Need

• 4+ years of business-side experience (GTM, growth, chief of staff, or strategic operations), including hands-on time at a hypergrowth or scale-up tech company

• An engineering or technical foundation, and you’re comfortable getting hands-on: pulling your own data in SQL, building analyses, and prototyping new product ideas with AI tools

• A track record of landing business-critical, cross-functional projects fast and hands-on: coordinating teams, re-prioritizing, and escalating to unblock

• Experience leading a 0→1 initiative, including building the process or team behind it

• Experience moving projects forward with senior leaders and people who didn’t report to you, without needing to be the face of it

• Hands-on use of AI tools in your daily work, with the ability to explain how they change your output

Nice to Haves

• A background in strategy consulting or VC, as long as you’ve also operated hands-on in a fast-moving company since

• Experience in streaming TV advertising, connected TV (CTV), or martech, so you can get up to speed on our business fast

• Working proficiency in French, helpful for working day to day with our Paris-based leaders and teams

Our Values

At Vibe, we run on three values: Impact, Ambition, and Urgency. We tie every goal to a real business outcome, think 10x rather than settling for good enough, and move daily rather than waiting for perfect conditions.

You'll thrive here if you own outcomes without needing direction, default to action, and hold yourself to results, not effort.

This is a high-performance environment with high-performance rewards: you'll work alongside people who push you, with real ownership over hard problems in a market that's moving fast.

If that sounds like the best version of your career, we want to meet you.
