About the Role

~1 min read

~3-7+ years of relevant work experience. You might come from a national security, management consulting, banking, or startup background — we want to see that you have experience executing and building new things. We’d love to see comfort with vendor or customer negotiations and commercial operations. We care far more about trajectory than years.
Ownership — You care about whether things actually work, not whether you followed the right process. You take responsibility for outcomes and don’t wait to be told what to do next.
Judgment — You figure out what the right problem is to work on, not just the one you were handed. You’re comfortable operating with ambiguity and know when to escalate vs. when to just solve it.
High slope — We’re looking for the fastest-learning, highest-trajectory people we can find. Growth paths here are real and move fast for the right person — the default is BizOps leadership, but other paths including Chief of Staff or function ownership are possible.
Plus: comfortable with data and analysis (you don’t need to be a financial modeler, but numbers can’t scare you); strong cross-functional project execution; can build credibility with senior leaders quickly; designs things to last after you’re gone; scrappy and resourceful in a lean environment.
