Job Description

The Office of the President is seeking a Strategic Associate to operate as a direct extension of executive leadership. This is a high-visibility, high-trust role for a proactive professional who thrives at the intersection of strategic planning, revenue/partnership operations, and executive-level communication. You will work with significant autonomy, often "wearing the President's hat" to translate strategic priorities into daily execution. You are the engine of the executive office - anticipating needs, driving clarity, and ensuring that high-priority initiatives move forward with precision and momentum.

Job Responsibility

  • Partnership, Sales & Growth Operations (50%): collaborating with the President on strategic initiatives, including marketing, sales/partnership operations, demand generation, reporting, and salesforce/team alignment
  • Support the development and management of firmwide revenue initiatives by evaluating current sales activities and directly prospecting new business opportunities informed by market trends and internal analysis
  • Strengthen data utilization and engagement efficiency by researching emerging tools and capabilities, with a particular focus on AI utilization
  • Prepare briefs, insights, and research summaries to ensure the President is fully prepared for internal and external prospect meetings, pitches, and proposals
  • Support meeting and report preparation for client meetings, weekly/quarterly team briefs, and executive sessions
  • Marketing, Content Creation & Executive Communications (30%): Draft long-form articles, social content, and personalized client pitches that reflect the President's voice and strategic intent
  • Manage meeting follow-ups and ensure information flows cleanly to the right stakeholders
  • Develop high-impact presentations that distill complex ideas into clear, compelling executive narratives
  • Support executive communications, including messaging, email drafts, and internal updates
  • Executive Operations & Strategic Initiatives (20%): Lead and independently own special projects, ensuring alignment across Sales, Events, Marketing, and Operations
  • Thoughtfully develop suggestions for operational/process improvement, and work with various stakeholders to drive internal and external success
  • Proactively manage information flow across the Executive Office to eliminate bottlenecks, streamline stakeholder collaboration, and surface priorities early
  • Provide essential support in finance and accounting tasks related to business development
  • Track deliverables, timelines, and success metrics to maintain organizational momentum and drive best practices across project management

Requirements

  • 2-5 years of experience in consulting, marketing, sales operations, or a similarly dynamic hybrid role
  • Exceptional writing skills with the ability to adopt and maintain a leadership voice across formats
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to organize and manage multiple priorities
  • the ability to pick up on nuances of client interaction and communications
  • Advanced proficiency in Google Slides with a refined sense of layout, branding, and visual storytelling
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced sales environment
  • Experience working directly with senior leadership and the judgment to handle sensitive information
  • A natural bias toward action-you finish one task and immediately identify the next
  • A "doer" mentality with the persistence to own workstreams end-to-end with minimal oversight
  • A high-output, low-ego approach to work, seeking world-class mentorship and a long-term career springboard
