We’re looking for a strategic operator and program manager to join the GTM Excellence team within Reddit’s GTM Strategy & Operations organization. GTM Excellence is responsible for transforming and scaling sales processes, policies, and programs to reduce friction in the sales cycle, drive systemic consistency, and increase seller productivity.
In this role, you will help shape how Reddit scales. You will own ambiguous, high-impact opportunities, turn them into clear recommendations, and lead the work from idea to execution. The right candidate brings strong judgment, a clear point of view on how Reddit should evolve its operations, and the ability to work across teams to drive change. This is a high-visibility role at the center of the Global Sales Organization’s operational excellence strategy, focused on building the systems and processes that maximize customer-facing time and create a seamless experience for Reddit advertisers.
This role is required to be based in person in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles.
Responsibilities:
Diagnose and prioritize business problems: Break down ambiguous, high-impact opportunities into clear problem statements, develop hypotheses, drive analysis, and identify the highest-impact opportunities to improve how Reddit operates.
Decipher stakeholder feedback: Collect and translate feedback from a large group of stakeholders into clear, actionable business requirements.
Design scalable processes and operating models: Evaluate how work gets done today, identify friction points and root causes, and design simpler, more standardized processes, policies, and ways of working that improve seller productivity and the advertiser experience.
Develop policies and governance frameworks: Create clear, scalable policies and governance models that support consistent execution. Define guardrails, monitor adherence and effectiveness, and regularly review and update policies as business needs evolve.
Develop recommendations and decision-ready materials: Turn analysis into clear recommendations, tradeoffs, and action plans. Create high-quality presentations, documents, and other deliverables that support executive discussion, decision-making, and alignment.
