The RoleAs a Strategy & Operations hire reporting to the Head of Operations, you'll partner on Traversal's highest-priority cross-functional initiatives - from pricing and packaging to getting complex deals across the finish line to making sure we're executing against our annual operating plan. This is a generalist seat, not a narrow lane: you'll be handed ambiguous, high-stakes problems, expected to scope them, build the analysis, and drive them to execution end-to-end.
Responsibilities- Own cross-functional strategic projects end-to-end - scoping, analysis, and implementation - partnering with Sales, Product, Finance, and Engineering as needed.
- Help get complex deals to the finish line - supporting structuring, internal approvals, and cross-functional coordination to clear blockers.
- Own key parts of the annual operating plan process: track progress against goals, flag risks early, and help leadership course-correct.
- Build financial and operational models to support decision-making across the business.
- Build scalable, AI-native systems to streamline workflows and distribute insights across the business.
- Act as a thought partner to executives on ambiguous, high-stakes problems - bring structure and a point of view, not just analysis.
Requirements- 4-6 years of experience, ideally 2-3 years in management consulting, investment banking, or private equity, followed by 1-2 years in an operating role at an early-stage startup.
- Track record of owning ambiguous, cross-functional projects end-to-end with minimal oversight.
- Strong quantitative and analytical skills; comfortable building structured frameworks from scratch.
- Excellent written and verbal communication - able to synthesize complex problems into clear recommendations for executives.
- High ownership mentality - bias toward action, comfortable operating with limited process or precedent.
- Generalist mindset: excited to work across pricing, deals, planning, and whatever the business needs next, rather than staying in one functional lane.
Nice to Have- Financial fluency and experience building models (FP&A, LTV / CAC, pricing models, revenue build, unit economics).
- Comfort leveraging AI tools to move faster and raise the quality of output (not slop).
- Prior experience in a deal desk, pricing, or GTM strategy function.
