Founder's Associate, Strategy Team

Responsibilities

• Take on the CEO’s highest-priority problems directly — strategic projects, market research and competitive work, financial analysis, and cross-functional execution, often with no existing playbook
• Identify problems, develop solutions, and execute them; often working on multiple initiatives
• Build and own the models and analyses that inform major company decisions
• Collaborate with and move fluidly across various departments as business priorities shift
• As the early stages of this team grows, you will help recruit, ramp, and manage the associates who join after you

Requirements

• Strong quantitative and analytical skills: advanced Excel, working knowledge of SQL, and comfort dissecting messy data and building models from scratch

Preferred

• Ideal background in math, physics, or another highly quantitative field
• Understanding of fintech, banking, or financial infrastructure

About the Role

This is a new program and the chance to be part of the founding team of the Office of the CEO. We’re creating a small team of high-caliber operators working directly for our Founder & CEO on whatever the company’s highest-priorities are. It is not a rotational program or a fixed analyst lane — scope is set by what the company needs solved, not by a job description. You will be the one to help identify what these opportunities are.

Requirements

• 3–5 years in top-tier investment banking (TMT/fintech coverage), private equity, management consulting, late-stage venture capital, or a fast-growing startup
• A track record of outperformance — clear signals you were trusted with more scope, faster, than your peers
• Extreme rigor and comfort operating in ambiguity at speed — priorities here change faster than the plan does
• Demonstrated ability to sustain a high-intensity pace: this role will regularly require ~12-hour days, 5–6 days a week, especially in year one
• This role is based in Miami or NYC but will involve travel
