We are looking for a highly skilled, tech-forward, and deeply analytical strategist to join our team as a Strategic Operations Architect for our network's expansion framework.

Drive project execution by combining a creative, problem-solving mindset with a disciplined focus on scalable workflows.

-

Operate seamlessly in a fast-paced environment, driving high-priority milestones independently and managing up effectively to executives.

-

Manage, interpret, and maintain complex data-tracking dashboards (e.g., Looker, Monday.com , Lovable) to provide real-time updates on critical project dependencies and visibility.

-

Champion a culture of continuous improvement by integrating diverse perspectives and data insights into future campaign planning.

-

Communicate openly, clearly, and urgently about all tasks, using a proactive approach to escalate roadblocks and mitigate strategic risks.

Master Executive Storytelling: Possess exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to create highly effective slide decks and synthesize dense operational data into crisp executive prose for senior leadership.

-

Are Tech-Forward & Data-Driven: Demonstrate deep experience leveraging automated project management tools (e.g., Monday.com), CRM frameworks, and advanced G-Suite analytics to clean and optimize funnel workflows. Experience using AI tools (Claude Cowork, Lovable, Gemini) preferred, but not required.

-

Thrive on Growth & Feedback: Bring a mindset of extreme flexibility, open-mindedness, and humility-willing to put the team's goals above individual tasks while relentlessly sweating the details.
