About Port
At Port.io, we are building an open and flexible Agentic SDLC Platform for modern engineering organizations. Following our recent $100 million Series C funding round, we are entering a phase of rapid hyper-growth with strong enterprise momentum.
We act as the central nervous system for engineering, enabling platform teams to unify their stack and expose it as a governed layer through golden paths for developers and AI agents. By combining rich engineering context, workflows, and actions, we help organizations transition from manual processes to autonomous, AI-assisted engineering workflows while maintaining control and accountability.
As a product-led company, we believe in building world-class platforms that fundamentally shape how modern engineering organizations operate.
About the position
Port is scaling fast, and execution is becoming one of our biggest strategic advantages. We're looking for a Manager, Strategic Initiatives reporting to the VP of Strategic Initiatives, ensuring that our most important priorities are translated into clear plans and executed with speed, alignment, and accountability.
This role is a mix of strategy, business operations, and cross-functional execution. It is designed for someone who thrives in high-growth environments and knows how to drive outcomes through people, structure, and decision-making.
The ideal candidate brings demonstrated experience building and running operating cadences at fast-growing SaaS companies — not just contributing to them. This role requires commercial instincts, executive communication skills, and the builder mentality to create structure where none exists.
What Success Looks Like
Predictable and scalable execution: cross-functional initiatives run with measurable accountability, clear owners, and visible milestones
Organizational clarity and leverage: teams gain focus — less time in alignment meetings, more progress on the work that matters
Speed without friction: Port's top priorities execute faster, with blockers identified and removed before they compound
Structured agility: the organization achieves greater structure without sacrificing pace — lightweight processes that actually scale
Decisive leadership alignment: decisions made by the leadership team consistently translate into action with clear owners and deadlines
As part of your day-to-day, you will
Own and drive company-wide strategic initiatives from definition through execution — setting structure, owners, and checkpoints across functions
Translate strategy into clear priorities, plans, and measurable outcomes
Build and run Port's operating cadence: OKRs, executive reviews, planning cycles, and KPI frameworks
Identify bottlenecks early, surface them to the right stakeholders, and drive resolution
Build Port's cross-functional execution network — partnering with one embedded representative per function to create a guild of initiative owners who drive alignment and accountability from within their teams
Improve organizational effectiveness by designing lightweight, scalable processes that reduce friction rather than add it
Requirements
7+ years of experience in Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, Chief of Staff, Management Consulting, or a senior execution-focused leadership role within B2B tech
Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives from definition through delivery in a high-growth SaaS environment — not just contributing to them
Proven ability to build and run company-wide operating cadences: OKRs, exec reviews, planning cycles, and KPI accountability frameworks
Track record of influencing and aligning senior leadership teams without direct authority — translating decisions into action across Product, R&D, GTM, Finance, and People
Strong commercial instincts with the ability to connect execution priorities to business outcomes and revenue
Excellent communication and facilitation skills — able to run leadership forums
Comfortable operating in ambiguity at a fast-moving startup — builds structure without waiting for it and ships things that stick
