What this role is about:
In the Senior Associate, Commercial Strategy role, you will serve as the execution engine for our CEO on the highest-priority commercial opportunities.

- Produce executive-quality deliverables: Own the creation of presentations, briefing documents, and memos that are polished, precise, and ready for any audience.
- Drive creative pricing and deal structuring: work alongside the CEO, our sales & marketing leadership, and finance teams to model deal economics, develop pilot frameworks, and pressure-test commercial terms.
- Identify and frame emerging opportunities: proactively scan the market and inbound pipeline, synthesize what you're seeing, and bring the CEO a clear POV and recommended path forward.
- Support special projects on an as needed basis: may include fundraising, M&A, and key partnerships
What we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:
- 3-4 years of experience in investment banking, management consulting, or an Office of the CEO / strategy function - you've worked in high-expectation environments and delivered.
- Exceptional communicator: You write and present with precision and confidence. You can distill complex situations into clear narratives for executive audiences.
- Proactive and detail-oriented: You initiate follow-up without being asked, catch things that fall through the cracks, and operate multiple steps ahead.
- High executive presence: You're comfortable engaging with senior leaders directly (can act when needed as a liaison for our CEO), managing up, and pushing back constructively when needed.
- AI-native: You are comfortable with the latest AI tools, keeping up to proactively improve your workflows and output
- Based in NYC (some flexibility for SF) and able to come into the office 3-4 times a week; expect to also join our Founder & CEO to meet with prospective customers & partners
- Travel: 30%
What we offer:
- The chance to work with a passionate team on solving one of the largest challenges globally
