We’re now looking for a highly organised and driven Operations Strategy Analyst to provide critical analytical and project support to the Operations Strategy team. You will be responsible for diving deep into data, identifying bottlenecks, and helping translate high-level strategy into actionable, day-to-day improvements. This is a role for someone who loves getting their hands dirty in data to find the “why” behind the “what.”
At the PTO, you’ll contribute to bold, industry-defining projects, learning through experimentation and helping to reshape the future of triathlon. This is your opportunity to build something truly meaningful and be a part of an exciting journey.
Reporting to the Business Strategy Associate, this role is based at our London HQ.
