Job Title: Planning Manager
Location: Fully Remote
Duration:  6 months Assignment
Shift/Hours: 40hours/week, PST hours
 
The Community You Will Join:

• The Planning team is the strategic and operational backbone of Fraud and Safety Operations (FSO) at Client.
• We drive the planning systems, roadmap execution, and cross-functional coordination that keep FSO moving with speed and discipline.
• Our mission is simple: deliver a clear, well-resourced plan so that FSO can focus on what matters most, delivering peace of mind to every guest and host on the platform.
• Every member of our team is expected to be coachable, highly organized, proactively communicative, and committed to operational excellence, both as an individual contributor and as a trusted cross-functional partner.

 
The Difference You Will Make:

• FSO's planning process is complex, multi-phase, and high-stakes, running across various stakeholders, four strategic pillars, and a Global Operations lens.
• As a Planning Manager, you own the tactical mechanics that make this process work.
• You will drive the day-to-day execution of FSO's annual and biannual planning cycles, building and maintaining the roadmap, coordinating initiative inputs from across FSO and cross-functional (XFN) teams, mapping work back to OKR targets and metrics, and ensuring every milestone, review gate, and deliverable lands on time.
• This role gives our Planning lead the space to focus on strategic direction and executive engagement, knowing the engine is running cleanly behind the scenes. 

A Typical Day: 

• Own and maintain the full milestone plan across all planning phases, track progress against key deadlines, and proactively flag risks or slippage to the Planning lead before they become escalations.
• Collect and organize initiative submissions from FSO pillar teams and XFN partners, flag duplicates and gaps, and prepare first-pass above/below-the-line prioritization materials for leadership review.
• Compile all above-the-line initiatives with confirmed DRIs, go-live dates, OKR connections, and metrics targets; keep the roadmap current and accurate throughout the planning cycle.
• Ensure every prioritized initiative is connected to at least one KR target, surface misalignments, and support the Planning lead in resolving tensions before executive review.
• Work directly with FSO leads to capture strategy inputs, confirm KR owners, and track capacity baselines and carry-over assessments.
• Track all cross-functional dependencies from prioritized initiatives, identify POC owners and commitment levels, and follow up with XFN partners to confirm commitments.
• Prepare materials for planning forums, strategy workshops, review sessions, and FSO leadership meetings, including agendas, pre-read decks, consolidated data inputs, decision trackers, and post-session outputs.
• Support the development of the CFO Annual Plan deck and business review deliverables by synthesizing roadmap data and OKR progress into clear, exec-ready narratives.
• Work with pillar leads to identify ongoing initiatives likely to carry into the next planning period and flag them as pre-committed capacity. 

Skills & Your expertise:

• 6-8+ years of experience in program management, roadmap planning, or a highly cross-functional planning operations role.
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining roadmaps in Airtable, Asana, Jira, or similar tools; comfort with multi-level tracking, field logic, and reporting views is a strong plus.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to work with OKR frameworks, initiative data, and capacity inputs to surface insights and alignment gaps.
• Proven ability to manage complex, multi-phase workstreams with competing deadlines and multiple stakeholder groups.
• Strong proficiency with Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides), including comfort with templates and lightweight automation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex planning inputs into clear, action-oriented artifacts and exec-ready materials.
• Track record of operating in fast-moving, cross-functional environments where proactive communication and disciplined follow-through are non-negotiable.
• Highly organized self-starter with a strong bias toward documentation, structured process, and context preservation across planning cycles.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent work experience.
