Head of Strategy - New York

Compensation: $210K-$235K base salary + equity

What you'll be doing:

As Head of Strategy, you'll own the strategic direction for a high-growth tech startup and translate ideas into executable plans. Day-to-day, you'll:

• Define and drive the company's long-term strategic roadmap
• Identify new market opportunities, business models, and growth levers
• Lead market analysis, competitive intelligence, and scenario planning
• Partner with the executive team to make key strategic decisions
• Own strategic initiatives from concept through execution
• Build business cases for new products, partnerships, and market expansion
• Present strategic recommendations directly to the CEO and board
• Work cross-functionally with product, sales, and operations to align on priorities

You'll fit right in if you have:

• Consulting experience (MBB, Big 4, or boutique firms)
• 7+ years in strategy, corporate development, or high-impact strategic roles
• Experience in tech or high-growth startup environments is a major plus
• Strong business intuition with the ability to move from analysis to action quickly
• Excellent communication skills (you can sell your ideas to founders, executives, and investors)
• Comfort with ambiguity and the scrappiness to get things done in a startup setting
• A track record of driving strategic projects that created real business impact
• Data-savvy but not paralyzed by needing perfect information

If you've built your career in consulting and are ready to shape strategy at a growing tech company, there's a strong chance we have the right opportunity for you.
