Strategy and Operations Fellow

About the Role

This is a high-ownership, generalist operator role at a seed-stage consumer startup building an AI voice-based dating platform. You'll work directly alongside the founding team to drive the critical growth initiatives that will take the product from early traction to nationwide scale. This role sits at the intersection of go-to-market strategy, recruiting, and product execution — and it matters because the work you do will directly shape the company's trajectory.

What You'll Do

• Develop and execute go-to-market strategies aimed at scaling the platform to 100,000 users.

• Lead sourcing and hiring efforts to build out the founding team.

• Gather and synthesize user feedback, then collaborate with founders and engineers to implement changes.

• Drive growth initiatives supporting the company's expansion from seed stage to nationwide launch.

• Partner with founders to prioritize and execute projects that accelerate scaling.

What We're Looking For

• 1–4 years of experience in early-stage startups, consulting, investment banking, or a similarly high-performance environment.

• Experience owning and executing business initiatives end-to-end in early-stage or high-growth settings.

• Background in go-to-market strategy, user acquisition, or scaling consumer products to meaningful growth targets.

• Hands-on experience recruiting, hiring, or building early-stage or founding teams.

• Ability to gather, analyze, and translate user feedback into concrete product or business decisions.

• Comfort working directly with engineering teams or technical founders to move from requirements to execution.

• A systems-minded operator who thrives in ambiguity and takes full ownership of outcomes.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Nice to have: Experience in consumer or marketplace businesses; familiarity with AI or voice-based products.
