About The Position

The Senior Manager, Activation Strategy & Operations owns the strategic and analytical engine behind Fora's advisor activation function. Reporting to the Head of Activation, this role exists to design and run experiments, own cross-functional OKRs, and translate findings into scalable programs that drive advisor growth. This is a highly visible, IC-heavy role for someone who thrives on ambiguity, moves fast between strategy and execution, and believes "launched" doesn't mean "finished."

Requirements

Experience: 3–5 years in a top‑tier management consulting firm, investment bank, or structured general‑management/rotational program (e.g., Amazon, Uber, DoorDash).
Entrepreneurial Mindset: Self‑starter who thrives in ambiguity, biases toward action, and relentlessly seeks improvement. You’re just as good at building strategy as you are at rolling up your sleeves and executing with clear goals, speed, and accountability.
Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills with the ability to distill complex analyses into executive‑ready insights.
Project & Stakeholder Management: Proven track record of leading cross‑functional initiatives on aggressive timelines.
Test, Learn, and Adapt Mindset: Eager to continue to iterate and operate post-launch to drive more efficiency and better business results
Education: Bachelor’s degree.
Passion for Travel & Technology: Genuine interest in redefining the travel industry and building with AI‑driven tools.
