This individual will partner with the SVP of Strategy, business unit leaders, and cross-functional teams to translate enterprise strategy into actionable initiatives, manage high-impact projects, and deliver insights that drive decision-making.

This role serves as both a strategic thinker and a hands-on operator, ensuring that long-term vision set by the Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and SVP of Strategy is effectively executed across the organization. This position is a hybrid role, working in the office two to three days per week.

Analytics & Insights

• Conduct financial modeling, market research, and competitive benchmarking to evaluate initiatives.
• Partner with Business Analytics to transform data into insights that guide strategy and operations.
• Create executive-level presentations to communicate recommendations to the SVP of Strategy, CSO, senior leadership, and the Board.

Project & Change Management

• Lead strategic projects from scoping through execution, managing deliverables, timelines, and stakeholder communication.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and potential barriers; develop solutions to maintain project momentum.
• Drive organizational alignment and adoption of new strategic initiatives.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Finance, Operations, Marketing, Sales, and Member Experience to ensure strategies are grounded in operational realities.
• Build strong relationships with business unit leaders to understand challenges and support execution of tailored strategies.
• Act as the “connective tissue” between SVP of Strategy and business units, ensuring alignment across priorities.

About You:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or related field 
• 3-5 years of experience in corporate strategy, management consulting, investment banking, private equity, or corporate development.
• Strong financial and analytical skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint.
• Demonstrated experience managing cross-functional initiatives in complex, fast-paced environments.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Highly organized self-starter with the ability to balance strategic thinking and execution detail.
• Background in hospitality, sports & entertainment, consumer, or private-equity-backed businesses a plus.

Opportunity Highlights

• Direct exposure to senior executives through support of SVP Strategy and CSO.
• Blend of analytics, execution, and cross-functional leadership.
• High-visibility projects with enterprise-wide impact.
• Opportunity to contribute directly to growth and innovation in a dynamic, private-equity-backed organization.
