About the role

We are hiring a Senior Manager, Founder’s Office & Strategic Projects to work closely with the Founder & CEO across a growing group of technology-enabled companies.

This role is for someone who can help keep projects organized, people accountable, and execution moving across multiple companies, departments, vendors, and strategic priorities.
