We’ve raised $6M in seed funding from First Round Capital and are growing quickly. It’s a unique moment to join us—we’re building a category-defining company in a fast-moving space, and we’re looking for teammates who are excited to help shape the future of wellness.

The Role: 

We’re hiring a Strategy & Operations partner to work directly with our CEO during a critical stage of growth. This is a high-impact role designed for someone early in their career who wants a front-row seat to how a startup scales.

This role is perfect for someone who can flex across functions — one day you’re helping shape headcount strategy, the next you’re building a financial model. You’ll be trusted to take on meaningful work that drives the business forward, fast.

What You’ll Do: 

• Act as a strategic right hand to our CEO, supporting her across finance, recruiting, and company operations

• Build and manage reporting tools and dashboards (headcount, financial planning)

• Help drive strategic planning, team OKRs, and cross-functional priorities

• Identify operational gaps and implement scalable systems and processes

• Support financial workflows — budget tracking, vendor management, and planning cycles

• Work cross-functionally with team leads across sales, product, and engineering

• Serve as a trusted utility player: stepping in wherever there’s a need

 What We’re Looking For: 

• 1–2 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, or a high-growth startup

• Bonus: prior experience in a Chief of Staff, BizOps, or Strategy & Ops role

• Analytical and systems-oriented — comfortable with spreadsheets, models, and metrics

• Exceptionally organized and reliable, with a high bar for quality

• Able to manage up, down, and across with strong written and verbal communication

• Excited by a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where you’re empowered to figure things out

• Located in NYC and willing to commute into our office 3 days per week

What We Offer: 

• Competitive Salary, Stock Options, and Performance-based Bonuses

• Comprehensive Medical, Vision and Dental Insurance 

• Unlimited PTO 

• Annual Company Offsites

• Wellness Reimbursement 

• Catered Lunches/Snacks

• Ownership and Opportunity for Advancement

For this role, the estimated annual base salary range is $130,000–$160,000, depending on experience and qualifications. In addition to base pay, we offer equity and performance-based bonuses as part of our total compensation package. We believe in compensating fairly and transparently, and we’re happy to provide more detail during the interview process.

We actively encourage applications from all qualified individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
