About The Position

In the Senior Associate, Commercial Strategy role, you will serve as the execution engine for our CEO on the highest-priority commercial opportunities. You'll own driving cross-functional commercial initiatives from scoping through pilots - managing senior executive relationships, surfacing opportunities, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. You'll be expected to operate as a trusted thought partner to our CEO and senior leaders - bringing structure to ambiguity, preparing executives for high-stakes commercial meetings, and proactively identifying what needs to happen before anyone asks. If you thrive in high-expectation environments and want to apply that rigor in a fast-moving, mission-driven company, this role is built for you.

Requirements

• Exceptional communicator: You write and present with precision and confidence. You can distill complex situations into clear narratives for executive audiences.
• Proactive and detail-oriented: You initiate follow-up without being asked, catch things that fall through the cracks, and operate multiple steps ahead.
• High executive presence: You're comfortable engaging with senior leaders directly (can act when needed as a liaison for our CEO), managing up, and pushing back constructively when needed.
• AI-native: You are comfortable with the latest AI tools, keeping up to proactively improve your workflows and output

Responsibilities

• Manage the CEO's commercial pipeline: track all active opportunities, own follow-up cadences, surface risks and next steps, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks across a high-volume deal flow.
• Produce executive-quality deliverables: Own the creation of presentations, briefing documents, and memos that are polished, precise, and ready for any audience.
• Drive creative pricing and deal structuring: work alongside the CEO, our sales & marketing leadership, and finance teams to model deal economics, develop pilot frameworks, and pressure-test commercial terms.
• Identify and frame emerging opportunities: proactively scan the market and inbound pipeline, synthesize what you're seeing, and bring the CEO a clear POV and recommended path forward.
• Support special projects on an as needed basis: may include fundraising, M&A, and key partnerships
