About Vibe

At Vibe.co, we're reimagining how brands reach audiences in the age of streaming. We believe streaming TV is no longer just a brand awareness play, it's the next great performance marketing channel. We're building the infrastructure to unlock this $100B opportunity. Vibe.co provides an Audience First Streaming TV Advertising solution for marketers to unlock TV as a growth channel. Our all-in-one solution combines hyper-targeted audience segmentation, AI-powered insights and recommendations, real-time campaign optimization, and incrementality measurement, giving brands of all sizes the precision and transparency they've come to expect from social and search, but on TV. Trusted by over 10,000 brands, Vibe.co reaches more than 120 million households across 500+ apps and channels, delivering an average 250% return on ad spend and 20% sales lift. The company hit a $100 million revenue run rate in under two years, ranking among the ten fastest software companies to reach that milestone. Vibe.co's investors include Hedosophia (an early backer of Spotify, Uber, and Airbnb), Elaia, Singular, QuantumLight (Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky's fund), and Illusian (Supercell CEO Ilkka Paananen's fund), as well as angel investors including Carolyn Everson, board member of The Walt Disney Company and Coca-Cola. Nirav Tolia, CEO of Nextdoor, sits on the company's board of directors. Founded in 2022, Vibe.co is widely recognized as the category-defining platform in streaming TV advertising, bringing the power of Meta and Google-style performance marketing to the fastest-growing segment in media.

About The Role

You'll report directly to Vibe's CFO and own business operations focused on strategic planning and analysis across product, revenue, marketing, and supply. This role involves turning big decisions into a documented, quantified case — the analysis that shows what to build, why, and how it compares to the alternatives. That work matters most heading into annual planning, where we want every initiative backed by real numbers, and as executive forums call for a clear narrative on how the business is performing. You'll get company-wide aperture, a direct line to the CFO, and the chance to build the frameworks the exec team uses to make its biggest calls.

What You'll Do

Strategic Planning

• Lead the analytical pre-work behind Vibe's annual planning cycle
• Size the dollar opportunity behind competing initiatives to inform prioritization
• Map how decisions get made today across product, revenue, marketing, and supply

Framework Building

• Build trade-off frameworks that quantify competing business levers where none exist
• Design a framework for supply make-vs-buy and production decisions
• Pinpoint where gut calls currently substitute for data, then close that gap

Executive & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Build the analytical capability to explain business performance to executive forums
• Partner directly with the CFO to prioritize the highest-leverage analysis
• Find your own highest-ROI work without a pre-built roadmap

What You Need

• 5-7 years in business operations, consulting, or banking, with hands-on analytical work — not process-building or coordination
• Built at least one decision framework from scratch that quantified trade-offs between competing business priorities
• Sized the dollar opportunity behind an initiative and used it to win a prioritization argument
• Led strategic or annual planning pre-work that directly shaped a roadmap decision
• Worked independently to find and pursue high-leverage analysis without a defined mandate
• Used AI as part of core analytical work, not just as a shortcut

Nice to Haves

• Held a similar business operations role in-house
• Experience in consumer marketplaces or logistics-heavy businesses where trade-off frameworks are common
• Comfortable naming a gap where no framework exists, then building one from scratch
• Track record calibrating analytical rigor across multiple business functions, not just one

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.
