Strategy & Planning Associate

About the team

Turo is entering an exciting new chapter of growth, and we're building the operational foundation to support it. We're looking for a sharp, highly organized, and intellectually curious Strategy & Planning Associate to join our Strategy & Planning team and help keep the engine running. This is a high-exposure, high-impact role for an early-career professional who wants to sit at the center of a fast-moving strategy team. You'll own the operational mechanics that make the team hum—business reviews, planning calendars, cross-functional coordination, and event logistics—while developing the analytical and strategic skills to grow into increasingly senior work over time. You'll work directly with the Director of Strategy & Planning and senior team members, getting a front-row seat to how company-level strategy gets made, measured, and executed.

What you will do

• Operating rhythm & business reviews — Own the mechanics of the team's weekly business review: build and distribute agendas, compile performance inputs, maintain the WBR deck, and ensure the right people have the right information ahead of each meeting.

• Cross-functional execution support — Partner with the Director and senior team members to maintain execution velocity on complex, multi-stakeholder workstreams — coordinating across leadership groups, removing scheduling friction, and ensuring critical work doesn't slow down due to coordination gaps.

• Annual planning support — Support the logistics and design of the annual planning summit, including venue coordination, agenda and workshop design, and stakeholder scheduling.

• Lightweight analysis & performance tracking — Run recurring analyses to help the team understand performance drivers in various parts of the business.

• Team operations & task management — Keep the team's project tracking current and consistent, ensuring action items are assigned, deadlines are tracked, and nothing falls through the cracks.

• AI & process enablement — Partner with the team to identify opportunities to streamline and automate recurring workflows using AI tools

Your profile

• 0–3+ years of professional experience; recent graduates welcome

• Prior internship or work experience in a fast-paced environment (consulting, finance, operations, tech, or similar) preferred

• Bachelor's degree preferred

• Exceptional organizational skills—you manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping the ball

• Executive-ready communication, both written and verbal—your materials are clear, polished, and error-free

• Strong analytical baseline—comfortable in Excel/Sheets; SQL experience or willingness to learn is a plus

• Sharp business acumen and genuine curiosity about how companies operate and perform

• High attention to detail, paired with good judgment about what matters most

• Proactive and self-directed—you anticipate needs, flag issues early, and don't wait to be told what to do

• Collaborative and low-ego—you build trust quickly and work well across levels and functions

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

• Demonstrates Turo's values through work product and day-to-day team interactions.

Turo Recruiting Scam Alert:

We’ve learned that there are scammers targeting job candidates by impersonating Turo and its employees. We ask candidates to be careful of fraudulent job postings or suspicious recruiting activity during their job search, especially if they’re contacted through unofficial channels (such as Instagram, Telegram, MS Teams, etc.). In general, Turo interacts with candidates through our Careers page and via turo.com email addresses, and we don’t ask candidates for sensitive financial or personal info or request money as part of the hiring process (so an application fee or equipment costs).

Candidates can also report suspicious activity to the FTC or other appropriate authorities.
