Strategy & Operations Associate

Strategy & Operations - Early Stage AI Firm - NYC

We’re working with an early-stage AI company in NYC that’s already generating seven-figure revenue. Tier-1 backers. Founding team out of top-tier banking, consulting, and PE. The hard part is done - now they’re scaling.

The role

Direct line to the founders. High ownership from day one. Roughly half your time owning strategic relationships with enterprise clients at CMO level - you’re not supporting these accounts, you’re running them. The other half working directly with product and engineering to shape what gets built next.

This is not a support function and it’s not a coordination role. You’ll set client strategy, drive implementations, and be expected to have a genuine point of view on the roadmap.

Who they want

• 2–6 years from IB, PE, consulting, or a high-growth startup
• Still hands-on and executing - not managing through layers
• Fast, sharp, and at home in ambiguous environments
• Confident in front of CMO-level stakeholders from day one
• Here to build something, not to optimise something already figured out

What’s on offer

• Meaningful early equity - with real revenue and runway already behind it
• Founder access and genuine ownership from the start
• In-person, Manhattan
