Senior Associate, Strategic Advisory

Liminal is the intelligence platform for the people building and buying the technology that keeps the digital economy safe. Our platform delivers AI-powered solutions that empower customers to assess, interpret, and respond to global market shifts, critical events, and regulatory developments.

We're a Series A company of about 70 people, with teams in New York, Salt Lake City, Porto, Lisbon, and Manila. We were recently named top 11% on the 2026 Inc. 5000 (No. 6 in Business Products & Services) --- a good marker of the growth we've been in the middle of this year.

At this size, you don't wait years to get real responsibility. People here are running projects, owning relationships, and shaping how things get built much earlier than they would at a larger company, because the work is there and so is the trust to hand it to you. If you want to learn fast and see the direct impact of what you're doing, this is a good place to do that.

In this role, you take full responsibility for a workstream, guiding it from the initial question all the way to the final answer.

Moving up from Associate is less about doing more work and more about using your judgment. As an Associate, you focus on building the analysis while someone else interprets it. In this role, you decide what the analysis means, document your conclusions, and present them to the client.

You will begin managing Associates on your workstream, which is often the first real management experience for many. This change is more significant than it might seem, and we will support you through it.

Each engagement includes a senior executive sponsor and a practice leader, so you will gain early client exposure with strong support. From your first month, you will join working sessions, and there will always be a senior team member present who knows the account well.

• You will manage a workstream from start to finish. This includes defining the question, choosing the method, conducting the analysis, writing the answer, and defending your conclusions.
• You will oversee one or two Associates, set the approach for their work, review their output, and help them improve.
• You will be responsible for a section of the client deliverable, which includes making recommendations as well as providing supporting evidence.
• You will handle more challenging tasks, such as war game rounds, buyer interview programs, and diligence work streams, with only light supervision.
• You will be the main point of contact for the client's team between formal meetings. You will answer questions in real time, manage expectations, and keep the project moving forward.
• You will review our data critically, adapt platform insights to each engagement, and let the team know if the standard answer does not fit the client's needs.
• If you notice a client has another problem related to our current work, bring it to the team's attention. Identifying these opportunities often leads to more projects.

you will become familiar with our platform and terminology, work on two active projects, and take responsibility for part of the solution on one of them.

you will manage entire work streams, set the approach, guide Associates, and deliver your sections to the client with only a review from your Manager. Clients will begin coming to you directly with their questions.

you will have led work streams in at least three types of engagements, run a client session independently, and identified at least one follow-up opportunity that turned into a real project. Inside the team, you will be known as someone who can handle tough, unclear problems.

• You have at least four years of experience…
