[Hiring] Strategic Projects Lead @Advantage HQ

Role Description

We are hiring a Strategic Projects Lead to work directly with the Founder and own the company's highest-priority initiatives. You will take ambiguous, high-stakes problems, turn them into clear plans, and drive them to completion across teams, from scoping and research to execution and review.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy and operations. You are the Founder's force multiplier: the person who protects their time, sharpens their decisions, and makes sure what they set in motion actually ships. You think like an owner, you move fast, and you are comfortable operating with limited direction.

You are structured and analytical in equal measure. You turn a loose idea into a clear brief, use data to pressure-test it, and keep a fast-moving organization aligned on what matters most.

What You Will Own

• Strategic project delivery: Own cross-functional initiatives from the Founder's agenda end to end. Define objectives, owners, timelines and success metrics, then drive them through to completion.
• Founder operating rhythm: Run the Office of the Founder: weekly priorities, meeting agendas, follow-ups, decision logs and the cadence that keeps leadership aligned.
• Research and analysis: Run market scans, competitive reviews, process audits and financial analysis that inform strategic decisions, and turn findings into clear recommendations.
• Communication and briefings: Prepare briefing materials, board and investor updates, and internal communications. Speak on the Founder's behalf with teams and partners, with clarity and conviction.
• Risk and blocker removal: Spot risks and opportunities early. Bring solutions, not just problems, and clear the obstacles that slow teams down.
• Systems and playbooks: Build repeatable systems, playbooks and dashboards so initiatives run without constant oversight.
• AI fluency: Use AI as a core part of your workflow, from research and analysis to automation of recurring work.

Qualifications

• You have spent [3-6+] years in strategy, consulting, operations, chief-of-staff or startup roles.
• You have led complex, cross-functional projects to completion, and the work had a measurable effect on the business.
• You are analytical. You can take messy information, pull out what matters, and turn it into a decision or a plan.
• You are a strong writer and communicator. You write clear briefs, give honest feedback, and present your thinking to leaders with clarity and confidence.
• You thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment with shifting priorities.

Requirements

• You hold a high bar for quality, handle sensitive information with discretion, and stand your ground respectfully when you disagree.

Nice to Have

• Experience in a founder-led, high-growth or agency environment.
• Experience in performance marketing, DTC or creator-driven businesses.
• Experience building automations or AI-assisted workflows.
• Comfort in Google Suite (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides).

Location

Fully remote. We have built the infrastructure for high-performance distributed teams and trust our people to do their best work from wherever they work best.
