About the Role

As Strategy & Operations Manager, you’ll work directly with our COO and Strategy & Operations Lead. You’ll take ownership of critical cross-functional initiatives, manage strategic planning processes, and ensure we’re tracking against company-wide priorities. This role is part operator, part strategic project manager, and part problem-solver. You’ll have visibility across the entire company and play a key role in making important operational decisions.

If you’re looking for a front-row seat to how a venture-backed startup operates and want to accelerate your impact and learning, this is it.

We’re Looking for Someone Who Is:

  • Management consulting or investment banking

  • Early-stage startups in Chief of Staff, BizOps, or strategy roles

  • Operations or finance roles with high ownership and visibility

• A structured thinker with a bias for action — able to break down complex problems, drive clarity, and execute quickly.

• You can operate both at 30,000 feet and in the weeds.

• Highly resourceful — you don’t wait for direction; you anticipate, unblock, and move

• Process-minded — you notice inefficiencies and create systems that scale. You have excellent pattern matching, and you know how to use your learnings to optimize a system or process.

• Low ego, high horsepower — you do what needs to be done, from recruiting team members to strategic projects to shadowing field ops.

This Role Is Not for You If:

• You’re looking for a highly structured or siloed role
