The Role: The CTO Business Operations team enables SoFi’s Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) organization to execute with operational rigor, financial discipline, and organizational clarity. We build and run the people-data pipelines, internal org tooling, and operating cadences that turn complex workforce and resource data into clear operational systems for the CTO and EPD leadership.

What you’ll do: • People Data Pipelines & Resource Reporting • Own and evolve our internal org and squad resource reporting (~2,000+ people across Engineering, Product, and Design), driving reliable biweekly refreshes and high data integrity. • Partner on the next evolution of our resource reporting tooling, moving from manual spreadsheet round-trips toward automated Workday API ingestion and interactive drag-and-drop seat management for engineering leaders. • Build and maintain automated people-data pipelines, Workday report transforms, and cross-system reconciliations across HRIS (Workday), Talent Acquisition, FP&A, and EPD rosters. • Maintain accurate org mapping across divisions, groups, and squads, tracking hiring progress, backfills, contingent workers, team movements, and capacity impacts. • Data Engineering, Automation & AI-Enabled Analytics • Take messy, multi-source operational datasets and build clean, repeatable data models, scripts, and validation checks that eliminate manual spreadsheet toil. • Use modern AI coding and analysis tools alongside SQL, Python (or equivalent scripting), and Google Sheets to rapidly prototype tooling, automate recurring reporting, and audit data quality. • Ensure strong data governance, schema consistency, and clear documentation across CTO Business Operations datasets and tools. • Operating Rhythms, Resource Planning & Capitalization • Manage and consolidate EPD operating calendars, leadership forum rhythms, and recurring readiness milestones across Technology and Product. • Support quarterly and annual headcount, contingent-worker, and resource planning cycles with clean baseline data, scenario models, and variance analysis. • Support the quarterly software development capitalization and labor allocation process in partnership with Finance, Accounting, and engineering leaders. • Perform ad-hoc analyses on organizational structure, squad composition, and workforce deployment to inform CTO leadership decisions. • Cross-Functional Partnership • Partner closely with CTO Business Operations, EPD leaders, People Partners, HRIS, Talent Acquisition, and Strategic
