Director, Business Strategy, Advisory Practice
About the role:
The Director of Business Strategy is someone who loves solving problems that actually move the needle.
In this role, you’ll work directly with founders to figure out what’s really holding their business back - and what to do about it. You’ll come into each workshop with a clear hypothesis, pressure-test it live with the client, and walk away with a focused game plan to grow their business. You’ll also help turn those insights into repeatable frameworks and tools we can use across our portfolio and clientele.
Here’s what you’ll actually do:
- Apply our framework to break down businesses quickly and clearly.
- Review pre-work to identify key constraints and potential action steps.
- Lead consulting sessions at live workshops with real businesses in real time.
- Build and maintain relationships with client companies throughout their journey with us.
- Work with our internal team to turn your learnings into assets that scale (playbooks, templates, etc.).
To win in this role, you need real business acumen, strong pattern recognition, and the ability to think on your feet. You should genuinely enjoy working with people, teaching, and solving problems with them - not for them.
Why This Role Matters (for You):
If you’re hungry to grow - this is your shot.
You’ll get exposed to dozens of real businesses, real problems, and real founders. That means your skill set grows exponentially faster than it would inside a single company. You’ll also build a killer network and get a front-row seat to what’s working (and what’s not) across industries.
More importantly you’ll get to help good entrepreneurs become great. And if you’re someone who finds meaning in that kind of work, you’ll love this role.
If you’re not ready for a fast paced entrepreneurial environment, this isn’t the role for you.
