Fabletics•El Segundo, CA

3d•$120,000 - $150,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Fabletics is hiring an Executive Strategy Associate to serve as the operational and strategic right hand to the SVP of Data & AI. The role owns executive communications, cross-functional coordination, budget management, and strategic insight into the direction of analytics and AI. It calls for a high-agency operator who can take ownership, create structure amid ambiguity, and drive work through to completion. About one-third of the role involves hands-on operations, including onboarding and budget management, alongside analyzing data to identify what is working, what is stalled, and where to invest. The associate supports the SVP of Data & AI and reports to the AI Program Director. The role is based at Fabletics’ El Segundo headquarters. The position combines operational ownership, analytics and reporting, AI adoption and tooling, executive communications, and cross-functional project coordination. The associate manages onboarding and budget processes; builds reporting and dashboards; operates and improves AI-driven operational tools; tracks AI adoption; produces Monthly Business Review updates and executive materials; and coordinates projects across Data Analytics, AI, and FOS Technology teams. The role requires enough technical fluency to read API documentation and scope integration requests, but does not require a deep technical or machine-learning background.

Requirements

At least 5 years of experience in operations, business operations, chief of staff, or a strategy-adjacent role; experience supporting a data, analytics, or technology organization is ideal.
Ability to translate complex data into clear, compelling narratives for senior leadership.
High attention to detail, especially in executive materials, budget data, and AI tool outputs.
Project management experience across multiple concurrent workstreams and stakeholders.
Comfort reading API documentation well enough to scope and submit accurate data integration tickets.
Experience working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with shifting priorities and a need to create structure.
