About this role

We are looking for a Product Strategy & Operations Sr. Associate with 1–4 years of experience to own and scale new product verticals at one of AI's fastest-growing companies. You'll operate like a mini-GM — equal parts strategist, operator, and customer champion — in a high-ownership, zero-to-one environment where results are expected fast.

What will you be doing?

  • Own a product vertical end-to-end — from customer acquisition and sales demos to implementation and process-building
  • Get in front of customers directly: selling, supporting, and implementing to drive early traction
  • Build and scale internal processes so cross-functional teams (Product, Eng, GTM, CS) can take over as the product matures
  • Lead go-to-market strategy including market research, positioning, pricing, and launch execution
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with high EQ — aligning stakeholders without stepping on toes, and pulling everyone in the same direction

Key Requirements

  • Startup or founder experience — you've worn many hats and thrive in chaotic, fast-moving environments
  • Strong cross-functional working skills with the EQ to influence without authority
  • Proven ownership mentality — you claim problems as your own and drive solutions regardless of fault
  • B2B SaaS or enterprise-level experience (consumer background is a weaker fit)
  • Willingness to work on-site in NYC 4–5 days/week and travel as needed
