Job Description

This position sits at the center of the company’s most critical priorities, partnering closely with the CEO and Chief of Staff to move high-impact work forward. The role blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution- taking loosely defined problems, shaping them into clear plans, and driving progress across the organization. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys ownership, and is excited to use modern tools, including AI, to work smarter and deliver meaningful results.

Job Responsibility

  • Play a key role in corporate planning and operating processes, including annual planning, quarterly business reviews, and KPI tracking
  • Analyze complex business problems by combining data analysis, stakeholder input, and structured thinking to develop practical recommendations
  • Translate strategic direction into executable plans, including timelines, deliverables, metrics, and stakeholder coordination
  • Drive cross-functional projects by working directly with partners across Finance, Operations, Product, Technology, and other teams
  • Develop clear, concise executive materials (presentations, briefs, analyses) to support decision-making by senior leaders
  • Monitor progress against plans, identify risks or gaps, and proactively recommend course corrections
  • Step into ambiguous or urgent areas as needed to ensure critical work moves forward
  • Perform hands-on analysis using spreadsheets, dashboards, and internal tools to support strategic and operational decisions
  • Leverage AI tools to improve speed, quality, and efficiency of analysis, research, and execution
  • Continuously explore practical applications of AI to enhance planning, reporting, and operational workflows

Requirements

  • 4–7 years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, corporate strategy, investment, or a similarly analytical and execution-oriented role
  • Demonstrated ability to independently structure problems, manage workstreams, and deliver outcomes in ambiguous environments
  • Strong analytical skills with comfort working directly in data
  • able to synthesize insights and clearly communicate implications
  • Experience working cross-functionally and influencing without formal authority
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce executive-ready outputs
  • Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a bias toward action and accountability
  • Hands-on experience using general-purpose LLMs and intelligent automation tools to improve efficiency, decision-making, and/or execution in business contexts
  • Boston-based or willing to be based in Boston
