MBA Associate | Strategy & Operations

Momentum•Dallas, TX

15h•Onsite

About The Position

This role is designed for a professional completing their final year of their MBA program with no more than 3 years of pre-MBA experience (ideally with a Big 4 consultancy). Successful candidates for this position will be ready to step into a high-impact, high-visibility role working directly alongside senior leadership on the initiatives that define where Momentum is heading. If you're someone who wants to build, move fast, and take real ownership of consequential work, we think you'll be a great fit. Momentum is in active transformation: redesigning how we operate, deploying AI across our business, and investing in the next generation of companies. You’ll be in the middle of it. You’ll be part of the Momentum corporate team — the internal engine that connects and elevates our portfolio — working alongside senior leaders across finance, legal, people & culture, technology, and corporate development, with reach across PMG, Koddi, and Further. We match each MBA Associate to the area of the business where their background, strengths, and our current needs align. The three areas we’re building into: Strategy & Operations — Work at the center of how Momentum thinks and operates. Partner directly with senior leadership to shape and drive the firm's highest-priority initiatives — translating strategy into execution across the portfolio, building the frameworks that guide decision-making, and owning cross-functional workstreams from kickoff through delivery. This is best for someone who can move fluidly between big-picture thinking and getting things done. AI Transformation — Join the team leading Momentum’s AI agenda. Tackle a prioritized backlog of automation and process improvement initiatives, design AI-powered workflows, and help the business figure out what’s worth building and what’s worth buying. Capital & Ventures — Work alongside Momentum's corporate development team to identify and evaluate the next generation of investment and growth opportunities. You'll map markets, track emerging companies, and engage directly with founders and management teams — building the intelligence and relationships that inform where Momentum invests and grows next.
