About the role:
We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas or take over sponsorship at this time.
As a Strategy & Operations Manager, you will directly support one of Enova’s Small Business (SMB) lending portfolios. You will tackle projects that ensure Enova is operating at peak performance and continuously improving so our customers can have the best possible experience . Projects can range from short-term immediate impact projects, like automating a business process, to long term strategic initiatives, such as a new product launch. The best part? Our team is big enough to have the resources to successfully scale the business, but small enough that a single team member has the autonomy to make a meaningful impact. That means you can make your mark. In this role you will report to the Senior Director of Business.

Our Strategy & Operations team:
Enova’s Strategy & Operation teams - or “S&O” as insiders commonly refer to them here - drive the business at both the operational and business levels. In addition to working cross functionally on the corporate side, S&Os work closely with our operations teams (think underwriting, application support, loan processing, collections or customer service) to ensure optimization and anticipate any bumps in the road. To do this, they dive deeper into our existing processes and ask themselves lots of questions like, why are we doing this that way? Why don’t we try this? And, likely the most important question, how is this going to affect the bottom line of our business?
