Analyst, Strategic Opportunities

About the role

The Strategic Opportunities team is a small, multidisciplinary team of people with diverse backgrounds and experience that report to the CEO. It is responsible for identifying, designing, and leading the execution of value-creating, cross-functional initiatives. The team works directly with senior leadership to build new businesses, address complex or time-sensitive situations, and support the strategic planning processes for the firm. As an Analyst on the Strategic Opportunities team, you will report to the Chief of Staff and act as a critical leverage multiplier for the CEO, the Director of Strategic Opportunities, and the Chief of Staff. You will frequently be embedded in the business, working cross-functionally with leaders to solve the firm's messiest problems, capture data, and enable others to make data-driven decisions.

Responsibilities

• Elevate the Operating Rhythm & Executive Leverage
• Manage the company's operating rhythm, operating one or more of our senior leadership forums and setting the agenda for the firm's most senior leaders.
• Prep the CEO for all key engagements, proactively resolve problems, and deal with issues before they reach the CEO's desk.
• Work with the Chief of Staff to develop compelling content and narratives for the CEO for internal and external consumption, including company presentations, media engagements, and key meetings.
• Cross-Firm Collaboration & Planning
• Project manage across large groups of stakeholders, leading meetings and wrangling cross-functional working teams towards a solution.
• Help drive annual planning and OKR tracking across the firm, reporting progress to senior leadership.
• Act as a liaison between senior leadership and working teams to ensure alignment, execution continuity, and the removal of operational inefficiencies.
• Drive Strategic Projects
• Serve as the go-to resource for solving messy, ambiguous problems that must be solved but do not fall neatly into the purview of an existing person's job description.
• Own operational projects from definition to solutioning to implementation, tackling a variety of '0 to 1' problems and incubating new processes.
• Lead quantitative and qualitative analyses to evaluate business opportunities, investments, and operational changes to support executive decision-making.

Requirements

• You have 2+ years of experience working in highly cross functional settings, and in a role that spans strategy, analysis, and operations in a fast-paced environment
• You are self-driven; we'd rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up. You don't wait on others to solve problems; you proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself.
• Critical and first principles thinking (e.g., ability to question how we are working rather than simply executing), and the ability to zoom out to the most important questions
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex information into concise, actionable recommendations for senior leadership.
• You have a passion for digging deep into data, problem-solving, and building clear frameworks.
• You have a commitment to the highest ethical standards and can handle sensitive information with discretion.
• Bonus: Experience in the crypto ecosystem, finance, or fintech is a plus.
