Founded by fans, Crunchyroll delivers the art and culture of anime to a passionate community. We super-serve over 100 million anime and manga fans across 200+ countries and territories, and help them connect with the stories and characters they crave.

Join our team, and help us shape the future of anime! About the Role
We are looking for a senior strategic operator to help shape priorities, accelerate decision-making, and drive execution across our Growth & Planning organization. As the Strategic Growth & Planning Operations Director, you’ll serve as a trusted partner to the SVP of Growth & Planning, helping shape how the organization prioritizes, makes decisions, and executes against its most important opportunities.
You’ll sit at the center of a highly cross-functional environment, working closely with Growth Planning, Finance, CDI, Product, Engineering, Business Development, Marketing, and regional teams to help leaders allocate attention, navigate trade-offs, and translate strategic priorities into measurable business outcomes.
Core Areas of Responsibility
Own the operating rhythm and governance mechanisms for the Growth & Planning leadership team to improve overall organizational effectiveness.
Ensure leaders have clear visibility into priorities, performance, risks, dependencies, and strategic trade-offs.
Create the management systems that drive accountability, alignment, and execution across the organization.
Maintain a portfolio-level view of our highest-priority initiatives, helping leaders manage competing priorities and resource allocation.
Identify organizational friction and cross-functional dependencies, driving resolution before they become barriers to progress.
Ensure critical initiatives move smoothly from discussion to decision to execution with clear ownership and follow-through.
Develop executive-level presentations, leadership updates, memos, and decision materials that support informed decision-making.
Translate complex cross-functional inputs into clear narratives, recommendations, and actions for executive audiences.
Clarify ownership and escalation paths to help leaders make better, faster decisions.
Own and improve the processes that connect strategic priorities to OKRs, planning cycles, and business reviews.
We are considering applicants available to work a hybrid schedule, with three days each week onsite at our Dallas office.
