Founded 2024

• 17 people (Seed)
• Industry: Consumer Tech / creator-economy marketplace

The Role

The client is hiring a Head of Strategy & Business Operations to be a true extension of the founding team — owning operational and strategic outcomes end to end across four surfaces: internal systems, business operations, recruiting/people ops, and direct client work.

Requirements

• 3–7 years in IB, consulting, PE, ops, or chief of staff
• Creator-economy experience a bonus
• High agency, problem-solving from day one
• Client-facing polish for AI buyers
• On-site in NYC, 5 days (Tribeca office)
• No visa sponsorship (US persons only)

Nice to Haves

• A high-growth startup environment with direct founder mentorship
• A creator-economy background (UGC platforms, influencer tooling, creator marketplaces)
• An MBB / IB / PE foundation followed by an early-stage operating chapter
• Has been the operational glue at a 10–50-person startup, building CRM workflows, campaign ops, and recruiting infrastructure from scratch
• Client-facing polish — can hold their own with senior buyers at AI companies

Why Join

• A true extension of the founding team: work directly alongside the founders making the tough operational and strategic calls — a generalist operator seat, not a delegation-focused chief-of-staff role
• Series-A-track equity upside: meaningful equity in a creator marketplace with real traction and top-tier backing
• Founder access and marquee clients: a high-growth environment with direct founder mentorship and client work alongside leading AI companies
