Our mission is to create a seamless, affordable, and joyful lunch experience that benefits both employees and employers.   **About the role** As Strategy & Planning Director, you'll be the right hand to the Head of Picnic, turning a fast-moving business into a well-organized, goal-driven machine. You'll own the planning cadence, drive big projects across our General Managers, and lead the central teams that keep every market rowing in the same direction. **This is not a staff role.

These are experienced teams who know their work and need clear direction. - **Own the scoreboard:** Build and maintain the KPIs, leading indicators, and scorecards that tell us whether we're winning, and run the weekly and monthly business review. - **Partner on budgeting:** Work with our Strategic Finance lead on budgeting and forecasting cycles, and inform headcount and spend decisions. - **Run special projects:** Lead market sizing, operational deep dives, and growth assessments for the Head of Picnic, and prepare exec-level materials that are sharp and decision-ready.   **What we’re looking for** - 5 to 10 years of experience, including time in top-tier consulting, investment banking, or private equity.
