About Clutch: We're on a mission to reinvent the way people buy, sell, and own cars. Are you game? Clutch is Canada's largest online used car retailer, delivering a seamless, hassle-free car-buying experience to drivers everywhere.

Customers can browse hundreds of cars from the comfort of their home, get the right one delivered to their door, and enjoy peace of mind with our 10-Day Money-Back Guarantee... and that's just the beginning. Headquartered in Toronto, Clutch was founded in 2017 and currently services Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island. As we scale rapidly, we are looking for a Strategy & Operations Manager to join our Vehicle Markets Group / Pricing Team!

We are responsible for turning complex pricing and operational data into clear, actionable strategies—owning reporting, frameworks, and cross-functional execution that drive funnel conversion, margin expansion, and inventory efficiency across the retail, wholesale and export markets. In this position, you'll turn market data into the playbooks that drive growth—sharpening our conversion engine, informing smarter day-0 pricing and aging rules, and steering inventory and disposition choices for maximum value. You'll own the reporting cadence and strategic projects that keep executives aligned, ensuring insights become action and our 12×-turn, margin-expansion targets stay on track.

In short, you'll serve as the strategic bridge between analytics and execution.

Spread & Margin Waterfall Feedback Loop: Track expected, realized, and remaining spread, reconditioning costs, and front-end margin, feeding those insights back into pricing models for continuous improvement.



Develop day-0 pricing and aging rules that balance days-to-sell, forecasted spread, recon estimates, and bid–ask adjustments to maintain a 12× inventory turn while maximizing margin.

Inventory Mix Model: Determine the optimal inventory mix and dollar weightings using market data, factoring in expected turn and Clutch GPU (gross profit per unit) performance.

Disposition Decision Logic: Define data-driven routing rules for Wholesale, Retail, and Export to maximize vehicle value.

Operating Rhythm & Strategic Projects: Run business reviews, OKR tracking, and cross-functional initiatives from concept through execution.
