The Role

We're hiring a Head of Strategy & Business Operations to be a true extension of the founding team — a generalist operator who owns operational and strategic outcomes end-to-end. This is not a delegation-focused chief-of-staff seat; you own the work across internal systems, business operations, recruiting, and direct client relationships.

What you'll be doing

• Build and optimize internal systems and processes (CRM workflows, campaign operations, bug reporting pipelines)
• Own critical business operations: payroll, contracts, onboarding, legal/tax coordination, vendor management
• Lead recruiting and people operations end-to-end (sourcing, screening, hiring process management)
• Work directly with major clients on campaign performance and account health
• Create scalable playbooks and operational infrastructure that increase founder leverage

Tech stack: N/A — operating role.

Requirements

• 3-7 years IB, consulting, PE, ops, or chief of staff
• Creator economy bonus
• High agency, problem-solving day-one

Green Flags

• High-growth startup environment with direct founder mentorship
• Creator economy background (UGC platforms, influencer tooling, creator marketplaces). Direct domain match.
• MBB / IB / PE foundation followed by an early-stage operating chapter. The "smart and scrappy" archetype.

Red Flags

• Open-to-work LinkedIn banner.
• Job-hopper pattern: short tenures across multiple roles without clear narrative
• Buzzword-heavy communication style: lots of jargon, low signal-to-substance ratio.

Why Join

• True extension of the founding team — own outcomes end-to-end, not a delegation seat
• Meaningful equity upside in a Series-A-track creator marketplace with real traction
• Direct founder mentorship in a high-growth environment
• Perks: meals in office, rent stipend for team members living near the office
