Job Description
Head of Strategy & Business Operations

New York City, NY · On-site (5 days) · Full-time
Compensation: $130,000–$190,000 + competitive equity

About the Company

A Series-A-track creator marketplace connecting brands with UGC creators, with roughly 1 million creators on the platform. The company has scaled to $8M+ ARR with a lean team, recently moved into a new NYC office, and is backed by respected technology investors. Active clients include leading AI companies.
Founded 2024 · ~17 people (Seed; 11–50) · Industry: Consumer Tech / creator economy

The Role

We're hiring a Head of Strategy & Business Operations to be a true extension of the founding team — a generalist operator who owns operational and strategic outcomes end-to-end. This is not a delegation-focused chief-of-staff seat; you own the work across internal systems, business operations, recruiting, and direct client relationships.

What you'll be doing

  • Build and optimize internal systems and processes (CRM workflows, campaign operations, bug reporting pipelines)
  • Own critical business operations: payroll, contracts, onboarding, legal/tax coordination, vendor management
  • Lead recruiting and people operations end-to-end (sourcing, screening, hiring process management)
  • Work directly with major clients on campaign performance and account health
  • Create scalable playbooks and operational infrastructure that increase founder leverage

Tech stack: N/A — operating role.

Requirements
  • 3-7 years IB, consulting, PE, ops, or chief of staff
  • Creator economy bonus
  • High agency, problem-solving day-one
Green Flags
  • High-growth startup environment with direct founder mentorship
  • Creator economy background (UGC platforms, influencer tooling, creator marketplaces). Direct domain match.
  • MBB / IB / PE foundation followed by an early-stage operating chapter. The "smart and scrappy" archetype.
Red Flags
  • Open-to-work LinkedIn banner.
  • Job-hopper pattern: short tenures across multiple roles without clear narrative
  • Buzzword-heavy communication style: lots of jargon, low signal-to-substance ratio.
Why Join
  • True extension of the founding team — own outcomes end-to-end, not a delegation seat
  • Meaningful equity upside in a Series-A-track creator marketplace with real traction
  • Direct founder mentorship in a high-growth environment
  • Perks: meals in office, rent stipend for team members living near the office
Details
  • Location: New York City, NY
  • Work policy: On-site, 5 days in-person
  • Compensation: $130,000–$190,000 + equity
  • Visa sponsorship: None available
  • Employment type: Full-time
