The Strategy Lead role sits at the intersection of strategy, commercial growth, and execution, based in Los Angeles with approximately 50% travel. You will work closely with the General Manager on strategic priorities while maintaining close market engagement—building relationships with district leaders, owning territory strategy, shaping go-to-market motion, and identifying expansion opportunities.

• Support strategic projects and market initiatives with the General Manager; bring market insights to shape growth approach, messaging, and go-to-market model; identify opportunities for improvement.
• Establish foundations for Southern California growth; contribute to hiring, team development, and eventual local team leadership; help build the playbook for expanding the partnership model into new markets.
This is a ground-up building opportunity with the chance to develop an ecosystem network, shape market approach, and eventually lead a growing team while seeing direct impact on schools and educators.
Requirements:
• Experience in high-performing, fast-paced environments such as consulting, investment banking, tech, startups, education, or entrepreneurial settings.
• Experience working with senior stakeholders, building partnerships, or developing new markets is a plus.
• Track record of taking ownership and making things happen.
• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.
• Strategic and structured thinking with ability to execute and roll up sleeves.
• Strong ability to navigate ambiguity and build from scratch.
• Curious and thoughtful; able to understand complex organizations and decision-making processes.
• High ownership mindset; entrepreneurial orientation; relationship-driven; mission-driven focus on improving education.
