Head of Strategic Initiatives (Partnerships & Community)

About the role

We're hiring a Head of Strategic Initiatives (Partnerships & Community) to help make Fitt run better. This is an operator-builder hybrid role for someone who can improve coordination, drive execution, and build the systems and workflows the platform needs as they go. You will work closely with Fitt's executive team and sit at the center of the business. You'll help connect priorities across business lines, push high-value initiatives forward, manage inbound opportunities, and bring more structure and follow-through to the platform. This is not a passive project management role. We're not looking for someone to simply organize meetings, move tasks around, or wait for direction. We need someone who can absorb context quickly, make smart decisions, create structure where none exists, and run with important initiatives end to end. If a workflow is broken, you fix it. If a system is missing, you build it. If something important needs to move, you make it happen.
