Job description

Streaming TV is no longer just a brand awareness channel. It’s becoming a core part of the performance marketing mix, alongside search and social. Vibe.co http://Vibe.co is building the platform that makes TV work like the rest of the acquisition stack: targeted, measurable, and optimized for results.

Vibe.co http://Vibe.co is an Audience First Streaming TV Advertising platform that gives marketers the tools to reach the right audiences, optimize campaigns in real time, and understand what’s actually driving business outcomes. With hyper-targeted segmentation, AI-powered recommendations, real-time optimization, and incrementality measurement, Vibe brings the precision and accountability of digital advertising to the biggest screen in the house.

Today, more than 12,000 brands use Vibe.co http://Vibe.co to reach 120 million+ households. And in August 2026, Vibe.co http://Vibe.co became a Walmart company, opening up a new chapter for the business and the industry. With Walmart’s first-party data and purchase signals now part of the Vibe platform, advertisers can connect TV advertising to real-world transactions and measure the impact of CTV with a level of precision previously associated with platforms like Google and Meta.

This is a unique moment to join Vibe. With Walmart’s scale, data, and reach behind us, we’re building the next generation of TV advertising and creating a more measurable, performance-driven future for the channel.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Vibe is a streaming TV advertising platform, and our biggest projects now touch every team in the company, plus teams at our largest partners. As a Strategic Operator on our Strategic Initiatives team, you’ll own delivery on those cross-functional projects and launch new revenue initiatives from zero to one, reporting to our VP of Strategic Initiatives. Right now, these projects have no single owner tracking delivery, sizing the impact when a team slips, and escalating to unblock, so that’s where you come in. You’ll co-own high-stakes work side by side with our executive team, take new ideas from first test to a working process, and have a real path to grow into leading a team.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Drive cross-functional projects

•Own delivery on company-wide projects that span every team at Vibe and our largest partners

•Coordinate product and GTM teams to keep shared projects on schedule

•Track progress across every workstream so issues surface before they cascade

•Size the business impact of slippage to guide re-prioritization across teams

•Escalate blockers to the executive team with a clear recommendation

Launch 0→1 revenue initiatives

•Size the expected impact of new strategic initiatives in partnership with our BizOps team

•Build business cases with BizOps for initiatives that need investment, from ROI models to budget envelopes

•Test traction on new revenue ideas before they scale

•Build the operating process behind each new initiative from scratch

•Shape the team that runs an initiative once it proves out

•Take full ownership of one initiative within your first six months

Work alongside the executive team

•Co-own initiatives with executive leaders, driving the work that makes them land

WHAT YOU NEED

•Operating experience at a hypergrowth or scale-up tech company, ideally in a chief of staff, strategic projects, or product ops role

•You’ve got an engineering or technical foundation, and you’re comfortable getting hands-on: pulling your own data in SQL, building analyses, and prototyping new product ideas with AI tools

•A track record of owning cross-functional projects A to Z, hands-on: coordinating teams, sizing the impact of slippage, re-prioritizing, and escalating to unblock

•Experience leading a 0→1 initiative tied to revenue, including building the process or team behind it

•Experience moving projects forward with people who didn’t report to you, including executives, without needing to be the face of it

•Hands-on use of AI tools in your daily work, with the ability to explain how they change your output

NICE TO HAVES

•A background in strategy consulting, as long as you’ve also operated hands-on in a fast-moving company since

•Experience in streaming TV advertising, connected TV (CTV), or martech, so you can get up to speed on our business fast

•Working proficiency in French, helpful for working day to day with our Paris-based leaders and teams

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.

•Annual offsite — The whole team, once a year, somewhere worth the trip.

OUR INTERVIEW PROCESS

We respect your time. Here’s exactly what to expect — no surprises, no ghosting.

1. Recruiter screen — 30 min. We’ll share context; you’ll share yours.
