Patreon is a media and community platform with 300,000+ creators, 100 million+ free memberships, and 25 million+ paid memberships. The company has generated $10 billion+ for creators since inception and is investing heavily in building the best creator platform.
The Strategy & Operations team drives decision-making on Patreon's most important priorities. This team translates data into insights, insights into strategy, and strategy into action—partnering closely with the executive team and cross-functional leaders to turn ideas into business outcomes.
In this role, you will lead major strategy workstreams including fan community, international expansion, and new monetization methods. You'll own the full lifecycle: diagnosing what's working, defining strategy, supporting execution, and tracking progress. You'll ground every strategy in rigorous analysis—sizing opportunities with models, desk research, and data, using AI tools to move quickly and work autonomously. You'll pressure-test quantitative work from Finance, Data Science, and Research.
You'll drive alignment and delivery by bringing executives and cross-functional leaders to clear decisions on high-stakes questions, and keeping large teams moving from strategy to shipped outcomes. You'll own company-level strategic narratives, translating company performance and strategy into clear, decision-ready narratives for recurring forums like All Hands, Business Reviews, and Board meetings.
This is a small, high-impact team known for curiosity, clarity, and collaboration. You'll have exposure to the full breadth of Patreon's business and the opportunity to help shape its next phase of growth.
The role is based in San Francisco or New York and open to those able to be in-office 3 days per week on a hybrid work model.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8+ years in consulting and corporate strategy, helping companies make high-stakes decisions
- Structured thinking: break down ambiguous problems with first-principles thinking, challenge assumptions, and land on well-reasoned recommendations
- Analytical rigor: build and stress-test models (market and opportunity sizing); sharp eye for flaws in others' analysis; comfortable with quantitative and qualitative data; proficient with AI tools
- Influence without authority: build trust and drive outcomes across executives and cross-functional teams (Finance, Data Science, Research, Product, GTM) even when priorities compete
- Executive storytelling: distill complexity into clear, compelling narratives for partner teams and board
- Execution: connect strategy to shipped outcomes and keep large cross-functional efforts moving
- Ownership: thrive on small team with large scope, minimal structure, and real accountability
- Mission alignment: deeply energized by Patreon's mission to fund the creative class
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with creator-economy, marketplace, subscription, or consumer platform businesses
- Background in strategic finance, FP&A, or data analytics
- Prior ownership of board or investor materials at a growth-stage company
