Business Operations & Strategy Lead

Who We Are
Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.

About the Role
This is an opportunity to serve as a key partner and advisor on Notion's Business Operations team, working primarily with our Engineering, Product, and Design teams. Business Operations is a cross-functional team that partners with senior leaders across the company, focusing on high-impact strategic projects and analysis.

In this role, you'll independently identify the highest-leverage opportunities, define the problem, drive execution, and keep going. If you thrive when given full ownership and a blank page, this role is for you. You'll work hand-in-hand with senior leadership to identify, structure, and act on the most challenging strategic and operational questions impacting our business. And you’ll use AI to build scalable systems and processes that multiply your impact.
