  • Support messaging, positioning, and sales pipeline development.
  • Coordinate and execute strategic cross-functional initiatives.
  • Support operational planning, tooling, and process improvements.
  • Identify and implement AI tools to streamline internal workflows.
  • What You Must Bring:

  • 3+ years of experience in consulting, investment banking, or a high-growth startup.
  • Business major, MBA candidate or equivalent.
  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills; comfortable owning projections and fin ops.
  • Experienced with CRM and sales outreach platforms (e.g., Apollo, HubSpot, Salesforce).
  • Technically curious and eager to explore AI-enabled business tools.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple workstreams.
  • Fast learner with a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Comfortable operating in an environment with ambiguity and rapid change.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Work side-by-side with an experienced, exited founder.
  • Get in on the ground level of a VC backed startup with enormous upside potential.
  • Own critical financial and operational workstreams from day one.
  • Gain diverse exposure across all business functions in a pre-revenue startup.
