Someone reached out to a friend about "Operations and Strategy" role at Google. I'm a DS, so I have no earthly idea what this means in tech companies. Can anyone help here. What does "Lead" mean? What's the comp structure like?
Can you elaborate more, what exactly do these people do? Also, what's the pay compared to a PM or DS?
Operations and Strategy comes down to two basic concepts: 1) how to grow / increase revenue (i.e. M&A or starting new products,etc.) 2) how to cut costs to increase profitability Pay Is less than PM and more so around PMM and DS type roles.
Operations doesn't start any new products. More like structuring and tooling the sales and support teams. Creating internal processes to solve a myriad of things.
1 Figure out how to grow the business and defend against competitors Do market sizing to figure out new product verticals to enter, or new geographies to penetrate. Do research on market requirement and demand to help product teams come up with product definition 2. Figuring out partnership and corporate development opportunities. Sometimes that's a partnership, other times a Jv, other times a straight out acquisition 3. Make things more efficient. Find bottle necks that are preventing things that are slowing down growth and fix the problem. 4. Help teams justify budget to build new product or launch vertical. Build financial projections to convince people to invest into certain ideas 5. Cost control, figure out what projects should get cut and what teams are underperforming and cut them Etc etc Business people are second class. Citizens compared to tech people imo. Prob get paid less than pms and ds.
Depends not he company. Some companies have small strategy and m&a teams that get paid well and usually consisted of ex McK, Bain, BCG people. If the companies bundle strategy with operations then they're definitely paid below PMs.
Am one of those people. Know I got paid less than pms. Then again, I guess pms are also different from company to company :/
