About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Drive strategic initiatives: Support end-to-end execution of company priorities, from initial problem framing and analysis through to implementation and accountability.
Structure complex problems using rigorous analytical frameworks, and turn data and qualitative insight into clear, actionable recommendations.
Prepare executive-ready materials (strategic memos, one-pagers, and internal communications) that distill complexity into clear narratives.
Act as a force multiplier: Coordinate on cross-functional programs, coordinating across departments (Product, Engineering, Sales, Finance, Legal) on projects that don’t fit neatly into any one team.
Help manage the day-to-day "strategic agenda" of the business by tracking key initiatives and flagging blockers or decisions that need resolution.
Step into gaps across the organization where there's no clear owner but a high need, and bring structure, momentum, and clarity.
Support our GTM functions: Partner with sales, marketing and client engagement teams to solve cross functional issues and provide “surge support” in times of high demand.
Work closely with the operational teams across sales, marketing and client engagement to develop customer facing strategic meeting materials (decks, memos, etc) that drive the most important conversations with our customers.

Requirements

What you’ll need

3-5 years of experience, including at least 2-3 years at a top-tier management consulting firm (Bain, McKinsey, BCG or equivalent).
Experience in an operating role and ability to apply strong problem-solving skills in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment.
Exceptional written and verbal communication, and can drive complexity into clarity for any audience.
Strong analytical horsepower and are comfortable building market analyses and strategic frameworks from scratch.
Execution-oriented mindset to follow through and get things done without being managed.
High degree of ownership and a low ego - no task is too big or too small.
