Full Job Description
Director of Strategy

Location: Atlanta, GA

We are building a small, high-caliber strategy function. The Director, Strategy is the first hire into that function and will work directly with the CSO and have regular exposure to the CEO and broader executive team. This is not a supporting role - it is a seat at the table on the most important strategic questions the business is navigating.

What you'll work on

This role sits at the intersection of corporate strategy, financial analysis, and cross-functional project execution. On any given week, you might be sizing a commercial opportunity, synthesizing industry benchmarking data to inform a board presentation, pressure-testing an investment thesis, or helping design and track a transformation initiative. The work is varied by design.

Specific areas of focus include:

  • Revenue and commercial strategy (DRP relationships, demand generation, and revenue capture)
  • Corporate strategy development and annual strategic planning
  • Competitive intelligence and industry analysis (insurance carriers, OEMs, competitors)
  • M&A evaluation and integration support, alongside the Corp Dev team
  • Cross-functional project leadership on priority initiatives
  • Board and investor communications


What we're looking for

  • 4-7 years of experience in private equity, management consulting, or investment banking with a meaningful strategy/transaction component
  • Strong financial modeling skills and comfort with ambiguous, data-rich problems
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication - you will be presenting to senior audiences regularly
  • Ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without losing rigor on any of them
  • Low ego, high output orientation - this is a build environment, not a polish environment


MBA a plus but not required if the underlying experience is strong.
