About The Role
Clutch is building the largest wholesale and remarketing operation in under three years our wholesale business has grown from roughly 200 vehicles a month to over 3000 - across auction dealer-direct and export channels in Ontario British Columbia and Nova Scotia - and were scaling toward doubling again. Were looking for a Strategy & Operations Manager to help decide where the next chapter of Wholesale growth comes from and then go build it.
This is not an advisory seat. Youll own decisions with real P&L consequences: how vehicles get routed across channels where we invest in facilities and partnerships and where the operation needs to get faster as volume scales. Youll work directly with the Director of Wholesale and your work will go in front of Clutchs executive team - the bets we make will be shaped by the work you produce.
What youll do:
- Own the numbers: build and run the reporting and analytics layer for Clutchs Wholesale business and turn it into decisions not just dashboards. Youll define the metrics the executive team uses to judge the channel.
- Optimize how vehicles move: design data-driven routing models across auctions direct-sale and export to maximize revenue per vehicle. At our volume small percentage gains can be worth millions annually.
- Make the machine faster: drive down cycle time across transport operations and sales as volumes scale. Find the bottleneck quantify it fix it.
- Build whats next: evaluate and stand up new disposition channels and the infrastructure behind them: real estate systems and partnerships.
- Run the operating rhythm: own business reviews OKR tracking and shape how performance is reported to leadership.
- Lead special projects cross-functionally: take initiatives from ideation through execution building consensus across Supply Product Marketing Operations and Finance along the way. Youll be measured on outcomes not output.
What were looking for:
- 3 years in strategy / management consulting IB or corporate development or in BizOps / strategic finance at a high-growth company.
- Sharp analytical instincts.
- AI-native mindset - you use AI tools as leverage by default not as a novelty.
- A bias to action and zero ego about getting your hands dirty - youll spend real time in the operation not just modelling it.
- A track record of owning ambiguous cross-functional problems end-to-end.
- The ambition to grow into a leadership seat and the EQ to earn it.
- Willing to work from our downtown Toronto Headquarters (60 Adelaide St)
