[Hiring] Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations @Ohr

Role Description

You've been carrying an urgency to make an impact. Join to give it velocity.

Chemistry is the invisible layer under every critical system, and the supply chain behind it has become a weapon. Ohr makes the molecules that matter most, from the atom up: energetics, propellants, rare-earth extractants, and the ignition chemicals already in production today.

Ohr is building the chemical prime for critical government industries. Our chemistry platform creates new routes to critical molecules, while our acquisition strategy brings the manufacturing infrastructure and customer relationships needed to deploy them.

As Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations, you'll report to the Director of Strategic Initiatives and help connect these two growth engines—turning breakthrough chemistry and acquired industrial capabilities into commercial opportunities. You'll work across technical, manufacturing, and commercial teams to advance market-entry strategies, government and defense partnerships, proposals, and the strategic initiatives that move Ohr toward production and revenue.

This is a builder role for someone who combines strategic thinking with an instinct for execution. You'll move between market analysis, customer opportunities, complex proposals, and hands-on implementation—creating new approaches to problems that have no established playbook.

Qualifications

• 3–4 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, or strategy and business operations at a high-growth startup.
• Track record of driving cross-functional initiatives from strategic planning through implementation.
• Strong commercial judgment and the ability to translate market analysis into executable growth opportunities.
• Experience developing strategic recommendations, business cases, proposals, or commercial plans.
• Ability to navigate complex stakeholders across technical, commercial, and operational functions.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including synthesizing complex information into compelling proposals and executive materials.
• High ownership, exceptional organization, and a bias toward action.
• Interest in defense, industrial technology, advanced manufacturing, or government markets is a plus.

Requirements

• This role involves access to data and systems subject to U.S. export control regulations, including ITAR. Candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, or a protected individual as defined under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3).

Benefits

• Medical Coverage: A wide range of plans, with many options fully covered for employees and dependents at no cost to the employee.
• 401(K) with Match: Employer match up to 4% of eligible compensation.
• Paid Time Off: Vacation, paid company holidays, and an end-of-year shutdown.
• Bonus: Ohr is in the process of developing a bonus program. Once in place, bonuses will be discretionary and tied to individual and company performance.
• Equity: You're joining at an early and consequential moment in Ohr's growth — equity commensurate with experience, with meaningful upside as we scale.
