About the Role

The Associate Program Manager - Strategic Initiatives is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, execution, and leadership.

• Lead deep-dive analyses into business performance, market opportunities, and competitive positioning to guide leadership decisions.

• Own and manage critical cross-functional projects, ensuring alignment and speed of execution.
• Be the “connective tissue” between strategy and execution — ensuring priorities move from idea → plan → outcome.
• 2+ years of experience in strategy, consulting, business operations, or founder’s office roles (Tech / SaaS / high-growth startup background preferred).
• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical ability — you turn ambiguity into clarity.
• Founder’s mindset: you think big, move fast, and take ownership end-to-end.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management; ability to influence across levels.
• Deep curiosity for AI, technology, and the future of work.
• Balance of structured thinking and creative agility — someone who can both plan and execute.
• Direct access to the CXO, CEO and leadership team, working on company-defining initiatives.
• Exposure to AI innovation, global markets, and executive decision-making.
