Full Job Description
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.

What You'll Do

  • 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

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


Nice to Haves

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


$200,000 - $200,000 a year

The starting base salary for this role is $200k+ equity. This is a full-time role with benefits. Final compensation is commensurate with candidate experience, work location, and interview performance.
