About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead critical strategy workstreams: Drive top-level "where to play / how to play" investment decisions, owning the modeling & strategic recommendations behind new product lines, licensing, and other structural bets.
Drive corporate development: Lead diligence on M&A opportunities and build proactive acquisition theses & target lists across Tilt’s markets. Own investor-relations strategy and execution.
Set the agenda on ambiguous problems: Take on cross-enterprise operational issues with no clear owner or precedent. Independently frame the problem, lay out and test hypotheses, build the analysis, and drive implementation of the best solutions.
Own high-impact business operation efforts: Lead initiatives within and across markets that build synergy and economies of scale across Tilt’s portfolio, from annual planning to executive reporting, reducing complexity and driving clearer ownership & visibility.
Support international expansion: Contribute to new-market selection, entry strategy, and resourcing decisions; from idea to launch execution.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You have 5+ years of strategy, BizOps, corporate development, or other operating experience at high-growth startups. Prior top-tier management consulting experience is a plus.
You have a track record of owning ambiguous, high-stakes problems from definition through execution, and you move them forward independently.
You bring deep analytical and financial-modeling strength, using data to drive decisions and tell compelling stories.
You're highly organized and autonomous, comfortable owning ambiguous, high-impact work and building alignment across teams without heavy structure.
You're a clear, confident communicator who earns trust quickly with senior stakeholders.
You're a hands-on, results-focused operator, as comfortable in the weeds of a model as in front of the board.
You instinctively use AI & automation to turn manual work into repeatable systems.
You believe, like we do, that people are good for it — and that great products should reflect that trust.
