About the Role
We’re looking for a smart, resourceful, and analytically strong individual to join our Financial Services team as Strategy & Operations Manager (Financial Services). This role is an opportunity to help build and scale a growing business within Clutch, working across Product, Engineering, Data, Marketing, Sales, and our external lending partners.
We’re looking for a high-agency generalist who can flex across different problems, bring structure to ambiguity, and independently take ideas from analysis through execution.
What You'll Do
Drive Strategic Projects
- Lead strategic initiatives across Financial Services, from identifying opportunities through analysis, execution, and measurement.
- Help identify and execute opportunities to grow our financing and insurance business and expand the number of customers we can serve.
- Build business cases, analyses, reports, and recommendations independently to drive decision-making.
Work Cross-Functionally to Build
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data, Marketing, and Sales to improve our product offering and customer journey.
- Translate business problems into actionable solutions, whether that means digging into data, building a mockup, or helping define a new product or process.
- Move quickly from identifying a problem to testing and implementing solutions.
Support Financial Services Strategy
- Analyze customer, funnel, and financial performance to identify opportunities and inform strategy.
- Bring a Financial Services lens to product and business decisions across Clutch.
- Build and manage relationships with major Canadian lenders and other external partners.
Self-Learning & Experimentation
- Take initiative to learn new tools and technologies with minimal handholding.
- Use AI and modern tools to analyze problems, build faster, and improve how the team operates.
- Thrive in an environment where many of the problems you’ll tackle don't come with an existing playbook.
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of experience in management consulting, strategy & operations, product, fintech, financial services, or a high-performing startup environment.
- Strong analytical skills and comfort using data to solve complex business problems.
- Proven ability to independently own projects from problem definition through execution.
- Strong builder mentality. You’re comfortable rolling up your sleeves and creating the analysis, process, mockup, or solution yourself.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and able to move quickly across different types of problems.
- Strong cross-functional skills, particularly working with Product, Engineering, and Data teams.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
- High-agency, curious, and resourceful. You take ownership and don’t wait to be told what to do.
Nice to Have
- Experience in consumer lending, banking, credit, or fintech.
- Management consulting experience within Financial Services.
- Experience working on financial products or partnering closely with Product teams.

About this role
Clutch is building out its Financial Services function and seeking a Strategy & Operations Manager to help scale this growing business unit within Canada's largest online used car retailer. You'd work across Product, Engineering, Data, Marketing, and Sales—plus external lending partners—to identify and execute opportunities that expand financing and insurance offerings and reach more customers. This is a high-agency generalist role where you'd move fluidly between strategic analysis, cross-functional problem-solving, and hands-on execution, building business cases and recommendations that drive real decisions.
The work demands strong analytical chops and comfort with ambiguity. You'd own projects end-to-end, from spotting a problem through testing and implementing solutions, often without an existing playbook to follow. The role calls for someone with at least four years in management consulting, strategy and operations, product, fintech, or a high-performing startup—someone who can dig into data, learn new tools independently, and translate business problems into actionable solutions whether that means building an analysis, creating a mockup, or helping define a new process.
This is an in-office role in Toronto with a salary range of $120,000 to $170,000 plus stock options, comprehensive benefits starting day one, and the chance to make a measurable impact at a well-funded company with product-market fit that's been recognized as one of Canada's fastest-growing businesses.
