The Strategy and Operations Manager will develop strategic roadmaps, optimize operational workflows, and lead initiatives in international tax and compliance.
About Us
In 1914, antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton posted an ad for a job in London that read, “Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success”
While our wages are not low and we are not limiting our hiring to men only, we believe in the sentiment Shackleton expressed.

With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
