As a Strategy Manager, New Bets at PPRO, you will play a critical role in identifying, validating, and executing new growth initiatives across the business. This is a hands-on, execution-first role for a senior operator who thrives in ambiguity and is comfortable owning outcomes. You will initially work across several high-priority initiatives that have already been mapped out, helping drive them from concept through execution. Over time, you will transition into single-threaded ownership of a defined area, acting as the business owner with clear accountability for results.
Job Responsibility:
Act as the business owner for new bets, driving initiatives end-to-end from early validation through execution and scaling
Translate strategic hypotheses into concrete plans, milestones, and delivery
Own success metrics for your initiatives and ensure they deliver measurable business
Identify risks and dependencies early, and work pragmatically to resolve them
Work hands-on with Product, Engineering, Commercial, Finance, Risk, and Legal teams to drive progress
Influence senior stakeholders without formal authority and align teams around clear goals and priorities
Maintain momentum across complex, cross-functional initiatives operating in ambiguous environments
Build and iterate on business cases, operating models, and execution plans for new bets
Assess trade-offs across growth, complexity, risk, and scalability
Support decision-making with structured analysis and clear recommendations
Provide clear, structured updates to senior leadership on progress, risks, and outcomes
Build concise, executive-ready materials that simplify complex topics and enable fast decisions
Help establish repeatable ways of working for how new bets are evaluated, executed, and scaled
Requirements:
6-8+ years of experience in execution-heavy roles within fast-moving environments
Strong preference for experience in payments, fintech, or adjacent regulated industries
Background in roles such as Strategy & Operations, Business Operations, Expansion, New Products, or similar
Proven track record of taking ambiguous initiatives from idea to execution and measurable outcomes
Strong commercial judgment and analytical capability
Ability to operate independently with a high degree of ownership and accountability
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to structure and convey complex ideas clearly
A strong bias toward action and delivery over analysis for its own sake
Nice to have:
Direct experience launching or scaling new products, markets, or business lines
Exposure to regulated environments and working closely with Risk, Legal, or Compliance teams
Experience working closely with Product and Engineering teams on delivery
Familiarity with building lightweight governance models for complex initiatives
