Join our team At GoDaddy, we are looking for a Senior Manager Strategic Initiatives to join our team! This team is a small, high-impact group that takes on some of the most complex, cross-functional opportunities in the company. We work on fast paced, high-stakes initiatives that span product, engineering, marketing, operations, corporate functions, and customer experience — often stepping into ambiguous situations to create clarity, drive alignment, and deliver real results. Were known for being gritty, creative, outcome-obsessed, and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed — while having fun doing it. As a core member of this team, youll lead delivery of initiatives that cut across business units, technology stacks, and organizational boundaries. Youll be responsible for leading efforts across multiple teams, building momentum where it doesn’t exist yet, and delivering measurable business outcomes.
