We’re looking for a Business Operations Associate to identify and pull the levers to move our business forward as part of our growing Strategy & Operations team. You’ll identify and solve complex problems through both quantitative and qualitative analyses—and then execute on the solutions to make a meaningful impact on Namely’s business. To do it, you’ll use leadership and interpersonal skills to build strong relationships, inspire change, and collaborate cross-functionally to see it through. You'll work closely with others but operate autonomously, using your analytical thinking and problem solving skills to focus your efforts.

The ideal candidate is genuinely passionate about technology, startups, and Namely. We’re looking for a great problem solver who thinks strategically, is comfortable with data and ambiguity, and is willing to dive into the details to execute.

• Drive execution on key initiatives, show results, and transition long-term ownership to the right place in the organization as appropriate
• Bring clear thinking and excellent problem solving skills to a range of other business challenges that may arise

Requirements  

• Bachelor’s degree from a top-tier university with consistent outstanding academic record; 2-4 years of professional experience
