Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations

Ohr

1d • $125,000 - $155,000 • Remote

About The Position

Chemistry is the invisible layer under every critical system, and the supply chain behind it has become a weapon. Ohr makes the molecules that matter most, from the atom up: energetics, propellants, rare-earth extractants and the ignition chemicals already in production today. Ohr is building the chemical prime for critical government industries. Our chemistry platform creates new routes to critical molecules, while our acquisition strategy brings the manufacturing infrastructure and customer relationships needed to deploy them. As Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations, you'll report to the Director of Strategic Initiatives and help connect these two growth engines—turning breakthrough chemistry and acquired industrial capabilities into commercial opportunities. You'll work across technical, manufacturing, and commercial teams to advance market-entry strategies, government and defense partnerships, proposals, and the strategic initiatives that move Ohr toward production and revenue. This is a builder role for someone who combines strategic thinking with an instinct for execution. You'll move between market analysis, customer opportunities, complex proposals, and hands-on implementation—creating new approaches to problems that have no established playbook.

Requirements

• 3–4 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, or strategy and business operations at a high-growth startup.
• Track record of driving cross-functional initiatives from strategic planning through implementation.
• Strong commercial judgment and the ability to translate market analysis into executable growth opportunities.
• Experience developing strategic recommendations, business cases, proposals, or commercial plans.
• Ability to navigate complex stakeholders across technical, commercial, and operational functions.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including synthesizing complex information into compelling proposals and executive materials.
• High ownership, exceptional organization, and a bias toward action.
• Candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, or a protected individual as defined under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3).
• Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the United States.

Nice To Haves

• Interest in defense, industrial technology, advanced manufacturing, or government markets is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Build commercialization pathways: Translate Ohr's chemistry platform and acquired manufacturing capabilities into market-entry strategies, customer opportunities, and commercial growth plans. Analyze market demand, competitive dynamics, and government priorities to identify the most promising pathways to revenue.
• Advance government & defense opportunities: Develop and coordinate proposals for government contracts, grants, and commercial partnerships, bringing together technical, financial, and operational inputs into compelling submissions. Help qualify new opportunities, manage pursuit timelines, and support relationships with U.S. and allied defense agencies, primes, and industrial partners.
• Integrate capabilities for growth: Partner with Corporate Development and functional leaders to translate acquisitions into operational and commercial integration plans. Coordinate cross-functional initiatives that connect new production capabilities, customer relationships, and Ohr's expanding chemistry portfolio.
• Build the systems that accelerate execution: Design lightweight operating mechanisms, decision tools, and repeatable processes that move strategic initiatives from opportunity identification through commercial execution. Bring clarity to complex challenges, align stakeholders, and accelerate progress without unnecessary bureaucracy.
