Job summary

Aurelian seeks a strategic leader to work directly with the CEO, shaping the company’s future direction. You will engage closely with customers, test direction with data, and translate open questions into actionable plans for the team to execute on.

Expect fast-paced decision making, rigorous analysis, and a primary focus on outcomes across critical operations and product strategy. Seattle-based, full-time role with competitive equity and benefits.

Qualifications

• Founders / ex-founders — you’ve made high-stakes calls with incomplete information and lived with the consequences.
• Top-tier strategy consulting or a “decisions all day” seat — you’ve been trained to break down ambiguous problems fast and defend a recommendation.
• Trading / quant / other high-intensity judgment fields — you make rapid, high-quality decisions under uncertainty and are sharp with data.
• Exceptional product people — PMs known for judgment and taste, not just shipping.

Responsibilities

• Pair sharp judgment with real operational horsepower — you turn decisions into outcomes and don't let things stall.
• Take on the company's hardest, highest-stakes decisions end-to-end — framing the question, gathering the evidence, making the call, and standing behind the tradeoffs.
• Act as the CEO's thought partner / trusted advisor on the calls that matter most, and earn the trust to make more of them over time.
• Turn messy, ambiguous problems into clear direction the team can move on.
• Get close to customers and the market, and turn what you learn into sharper decisions.
• Bring rigor: use data, first-principles reasoning, and clear written argument to drive decisions rather than opinion or consensus.
• Move fast and own outcomes - you measure yourself by results, not activity.
