Manager, Strategy & Operations (Communities)
About The Position
Manifest OS is an AI-native company on a mission to replace the billable hour and make legal services more accessible for American businesses and consumers. We power the next generation of AI-native law firms with one unified global brand, a proprietary technology platform, and a centralized back office — enabling lawyers to eliminate the administrative burden and focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for their clients. Manifest OS has raised a $60M Series A from Menlo Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, First Round, and Quiet Capital. The Strategy & Operations team owns the most consequential problems that don't belong anywhere else — from designing operating systems for new practice areas to the analyses that reshape how leadership thinks about the business. We're a small, high-leverage team that works directly with the C-suite and owns initiatives from conception to handoff. Two of our core growth engines are the communities you'll own: Mission, our B2B network for corporate global mobility leaders, and the Extraordinary Ability Club (EAC), our B2C community for individuals pursuing Extraordinary Ability visas (EB-1A, O-1, EB2-NIW). We're hiring a Manager, Strategy & Operations to own Mission and EAC end to end — membership growth, engagement, retention, and conversion to Manifest Law clients. You'll operate at the intersection of community, marketing, legal, and product, and you'll be expected to own real numbers and consistently find new ways to drive value for members.
Requirements
- 3-6 years in consulting, banking, growth, or a senior generalist role at an early-stage startup

- A natural relationship-builder at scale — with enterprise leaders, community members, and your own team
- Sharp communicator; you can write a memo and run a roundtable equally well
- Genuine curiosity about immigration, community, or the future of legal services — you don't need to be an expert, but you need to care
- Based in NYC
- Willing to work from our Flatiron office five days a week
Responsibilities
- Own the P&L and growth roadmap for Mission (B2B).
- Scale the Mission community 10x in a year by building meaningful relationships with global mobility and immigration leaders at top enterprise brands.

- Build the systems to track acquisition, activation, and engagement for Mission.
- Scale the Extraordinary Ability Club (B2C) from thousands to tens of thousands of members by year-end.
- Build the acquisition channels, partnerships, and referral mechanics for EAC.
