About The Position

The Associate works across Metis Strategy’s executive networks, Technology Leadership Institute, and Metis Strategy Summit, combining research, content development, participant engagement, and program execution. The role involves researching topics executives are working on and translating findings into concise, practical materials; building familiarity with members and participants; connecting people with complementary challenges or experience; and synthesizing information from meetings, trainings, conferences, and other interactions into themes and insights. The Associate develops materials for executive network meetings and leadership programs, contributes to Summit agenda and session development, coordinates communications with speakers and attendees, and helps plan meetings and address participant needs. The role also supports portfolio growth by researching prospective members, participants, speakers, and sponsors; preparing growth materials; testing program formats; and analyzing participation, engagement, and feedback. Approximately 30–35% of the role is operational, with a greater operational focus around major events. This includes speaker logistics, event preparation, and sponsorship materials, while identifying repetitive tasks suitable for automation with firm-supported AI tools. The position is fully remote for day-to-day work, with occasional travel and regular in-person team offsites. Associates gain exposure to senior technology leaders at Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies and develop skills in research, writing, executive programming, and communication. The position is eligible for bonus compensation.
