The Role
We are seeking a Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations to act as a strategic force multiplier across the business.

The ideal candidate combines consulting-grade rigor with startup scrappiness, and can produce board- or C-suite-ready work quickly with minimal guidance.
This is a fast-paced role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, asks sharp questions, and delivers with polish and precision.
