Is This Role For You?
- You've thrived in management consulting, corporate development, banking, or strategy roles with 8-10 years of experience in fast-moving environments
- You love scoping ambiguous problems, building financial models, and translating complex analysis into clear executive narratives
- You're equally comfortable with quantitative rigor and qualitative storytelling; you can influence without formal authority
- You want early exposure to board-level strategy and the chance to grow into leading a team; you thrive in high-visibility, high-impact work
- You need visa sponsorship or require remote/hybrid flexibility; this is on-site Bay Area only with no sponsorship offered
- You prefer hands-on execution over strategic analysis; this role is about insight, recommendation, and operationalization-not day-to-day tactics
- You avoid ambiguity or need crystal-clear job scope from day one; you'll be scoping novel strategic initiatives with incomplete information
- You're not interested in mentoring and developing junior talent; this role includes a growing team component
