Job Description

You'll operate as a high-trust generalist, embedded in different parts of the business depending on where you're needed. Projects will vary: standing up new business lines, building analytics infrastructure alongside engineering, supporting corporate development efforts, or helping teams navigate critical transitions. Scope and ownership will be significant. You'll be expected to move fast, drive outcomes, and operate with high autonomy. This is a role for someone who wants to be close to the hardest problems at a company moving very quickly. You'll work directly with leadership and build relationships across every function. The path from here leads to functional leadership for those who want it.

Job Responsibility

  • Own cross-functional projects end-to-end, from scoping through execution
  • Build relationships across the organization and become a trusted operator that teams want to work with
  • Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities before they become obvious
  • Drive results on tight timelines without sacrificing quality or detail
  • Pull and analyze data to inform decisions and track progress
  • Communicate clearly with stakeholders ranging from engineers to executives
  • Pick up whatever needs doing, even when it's outside your comfort zone

Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience in consulting, investment banking, or operations at a high-growth technology company
  • Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously and deliver results without close supervision
  • Strong analytical foundation
  • Ability to communicate credibly with both technical and non-technical teams
  • Track record of exceptional performance in whatever you've pursued
  • High tolerance for ambiguity, context-switching, and intensity

Nice to have

  • Have a technical degree (CS, engineering, math, physics) even if you took a non-technical career path
  • Worked as an early employee at a startup where you operated well beyond your job description
  • Have been a Chief of Staff or BizOps lead at a scaling company
  • Care deeply about building teams and culture, not just processes
