About The Role You’ll join the Strategic Initiatives team — a newly built function at the intersection of founder vision and company execution. The team focuses on governance, cross-functional initiative monitoring, and zero-to-one special projects. You’ll report directly to the VP of Strategic Initiatives.

• Special Projects & Strategic Research:
  Own market entry assessments, new business model explorations, and M&A work streams end-to-end — from zero to shipped.
• Build analytical frameworks from first principles and deliver sharp recommendations in days, not weeks.
• Use AI to compress research cycles and surface insights faster than traditional methods allow.
• Translate ambiguous mandates into decision-ready materials for the VP of Strategic Initiatives, CEO, and leadership.

• Initiative Monitoring:
  Own the tracking system for Vibe’s most critical cross-functional initiatives, covering milestones, KPIs, owners, and blockers.
• Synthesize initiative health into clear briefs for the VP of Strategic Initiatives — risks identified, options laid out, recommendations drafted.

• Governance & AI Automation:
  Own the analytical backbone of Business Reviews and ExCo meetings in collaboration with Finance — every forum focused, prepared, and decision-producing.
• Design and deploy AI agents to automate governance workflows: pre-read generation, initiative tracking, and action item follow-up.
• Identify where AI can eliminate manual overhead in the governance system and own the build end-to-end.

• Building the Function:
  Co-design how the Strategic Initiatives team operates, what it prioritizes, and how it scales as Vibe grows.
• Bring structure where none exists and push toward what a world-class strategic initiatives function actually looks like.

• 4 to 6 years of experience running something — a market, a launch, a function — with a demonstrable track record.
• Strong analytical and structured thinking: you can build a framework from scratch and turn it into a decision quickly.
• Exceptional written communication — you distill complexity into one-pagers that drive real decisions at the executive level.
• Cross-functional range: you understand Sales, Product, Finance, and Engineering, and you operate credibly across all of them.
• Demonstrated AI fluency — you’ve built or shipped AI-powered workflows, agents, or automations, and you default to automating repetitive work.

• Experience at a high-growth startup or in strategy consulting or investing context.
• Prior exposure to governance design, operating model work, or company-level OKR processes.
• Familiarity with streaming TV advertising, connected TV (CTV), or performance marketing.

We run on three values:
Impact, Ambition, and Urgency. We tie every goal to a real business outcome, think 10x, and move daily rather than waiting for perfect conditions. You’ll thrive if you own outcomes, default to action, and hold yourself to results, not effort. This is a high-performance environment with high-performance rewards, offering real ownership over hard problems in a fast-moving market.
