OtherManager, Corporate Strategy

At WHOOP, we’re on a mission to unlock human performance and healthspan. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.

The Corporate Strategy team at WHOOP has played an active role in some of the company’s boldest and most important decisions. The team partners with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to shape the company’s annual and long-term strategic direction, including platform evolution, market expansion, and new business opportunities. We oversee strategic planning, helping leadership decide where we win and where to invest. We identify and evaluate new growth vectors across products, services, geographies, and business models aligned with WHOOP’s mission and capabilities, while staying on top of competitive dynamics, industry trends, and emerging technologies across health and adjacent spaces.

We are seeking a Senior Manager to join the team. You’ll run core strategy cadences and key workstreams, while operating at the intersection of product, hardware, finance, growth, and marketing teams to influence executive decisions. You will flex between structured problem-solving and pragmatic execution, driving high-leverage analyses (e.g., growth opportunities, business model, market sizing, competitive intelligence), producing decision materials for the executive team and Board, and helping teams move from ambiguity to action. The right candidate is a high-agency generalist with strong judgment, sharp analytical and financial rigor, and exceptional communication skills who thrives in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and the work is broad, high stakes, and deeply collaborative.

This role is open to candidates based in the Boston area (onsite) or New York (remote, with regular travel to our Boston office).

Partner with the executive team to develop and maintain WHOOP’s long-term strategic narrative, translating strategic priorities into a clear and compelling point of view on where the company is headed and why.

Coordinate the annual strategic planning process to clarify where we win and where we invest, preparing decision materials, attending leadership forums and functional offsites, and facilitating discussions to inform priorities and capital allocation in partnership with Corporate FP&A.

Build and maintain pre-planning intelligence by producing an annual, enterprise-wide fact base that frames the context for strategic planning, synthesizing key trends, competitive dynamics, member insights, and internal research into clear implications.

Lead deep-dive evaluations of high-conviction strategic bets, rigorously assessing whether WHOOP should enter new categories, launch new products or services, expand internationally, or pursue new business models, synthesizing findings for executive decision making.

Organize WHOOP’s ongoing competitive intelligence monitoring program, highlighting signals, risks, opportunities, and recommended follow-ups as market conditions evolve.

Lead discrete workstreams on key business model and pricing decisions, bringing member context, competitive dynamics, and economics into clear tradeoffs and recommendations.

Work across Finance teams to translate strategic priorities into resourcing decisions and capital allocation frameworks, ensuring investment decisions are grounded in a clear strategic point of view.

Develop frameworks and templates that standardize how we evaluate opportunities (market sizing, competitive benchmarking, and strategic initiative scorecards) to improve consistency and speed of decision-making.

Create and deliver executive presentations and Board materials that synthesize complex strategic issues into clear narratives with actionable recommendations.

Drive a rotating portfolio of high-impact strategy projects tied to executive decisions, responding to time-sensitive strategic questions and emerging developments.

5-7 years of experience in investing (PE/VC/Growth Equity), top-tier strategy consulting, investment banking, or corporate strategy at a high-growth technology company.

Strong analytical ability and business model acumen, including financial modeling, unit economics, market sizing, competitive analysis, member/customer insight synthesis, and scenario thinking to build a rigorous fact base.

Exceptional sense-making ability: synthesize disparate inputs (data, member insight, stakeholder context, competitive signals) into simple, clear answers without oversimplifying.

Comfort driving impact through influence and clarity in environments where you may or may not always directly own execution and with frequent context switching.

Exceptional executive communication skills, including writing crisp decision memos and building leadership-ready presentations that distill complexity into what matters and drives clear outcomes.

High initiative and high agency, including the ability to see what needs doing and move quickly with minimal guidance while maintaining high standards and rigorous attention to detail.

Proven cross-functional leadership through influence, including driving alignment, accountability, and follow-through in ambiguous, fast-moving situations.

Intellectual curiosity and learning velocity, including asking great questions, digging for root causes, and continuously updating your point of view as new information emerges.

Energized to build a team of business athletes, coaching others, raising the bar, and investing in the growth of people around you.

Team-first, relationship-oriented operating style that builds trust across the org, collaborates with maturity, and optimizes for shared outcomes over ego.

Strong alignment with WHOOP’s mission and brand, with genuine energy for helping members improve performance and health.
