• Identify and size growth and efficiency opportunities to inform resource allocation and investment.

• Build dashboards and reporting systems to monitor real-time and long-term operational health
• Partner with data and analytics teams to develop forecasting models, scenario planning tools, and ROI analyses
• Act as a thought partner to product, engineering, finance, and executive teams to ensure operational needs are aligned with company priorities
• Collaborate with local market GMs and regional leads to scale best practices and operational playbooks
• Identify gaps in workflows, systems, and processes; lead initiatives to redesign and streamline operations
• Work closely with the Product team to prioritize tools, systems, and technology that support operational scalability
• Manage a high-performing team of strategy and operations professionals; support hiring, coaching, and development
• Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and data-driven decision-making

• Strong analytical capabilities; fluency in Excel, SQL, and business intelligence tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau)
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills; able to influence at all levels of the organization
• Experience managing cross-functional teams and leading through ambiguity

When you join Metropolis, you’ll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem of technologies at the intersection of parking, mobility, and real estate. Our goal is to build an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice and the best idea wins. You will play a key role in building and maintaining this culture as our organization grows.
