Strategy Operations Associate, Growth

About the role

Gallatin AI is hiring a Strategy & Operations Associate to serve as the principal execution arm for our Head of Growth. This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious, early-career operator to work shoulder-to-shoulder with a senior commercial leader across the full surface area of go-to-market - business development, sales operations and CRM, market and competitive analysis, and partnership development - inside one of the fastest-moving companies in defense tech. You will stand up and run the operating systems that make the commercial function scale: pipeline instrumentation, account dossiers, competitive intelligence, partnership infrastructure, and the playbooks the rest of the team plugs into. You will be the connective tissue that turns commercial strategy into executed motion - closing the gaps the Head of Growth doesn't have time to close, and freeing executive bandwidth for the largest strategic and customer-facing moves. You will lean heavily on modern AI tooling (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and emerging agentic systems) to do the work of a much larger team. This role is built for someone who wants the responsibility curve of an early-stage operator: ambiguous problems, high autonomy, real customers, and a direct line into how a defense AI company gets to scale. The right candidate sees this as a launchpad - not a back-office support function.
