Business Operations and Strategy

Job description

⛰️ About Northslope The generational companies of the next century will run on mission-specific AI software that compounds their competitive advantage, not commoditized SaaS. We purpose-build production AI applications that enable our customers to operate at the speed, scale, and margins of an enterprise software company, in any industry. We're building something fundamentally different: software that's as adaptable as the businesses it serves, created by engineers who understand both code and customer. 🛠️ The Role We are looking for an ambitious and thoughtful operator to join our team at the intersection of account expansion, business operations, and commercial strategy. This role is about unlocking value: identifying where we’re leaving money on the table and building systems to ensure we never do. You’ll work closely with our implementation teams, project leads, and executive stakeholders to drive customer expansions, enable strategic renewal conversations, and support pre-sales efforts through compelling value storytelling. In this role, you will help us institutionalize smart habits. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a consulting background who is passionate about technology and AI. 🎯 What We're Looking For - Experience in management consulting or business operations/strategy role, ideally at a top-tier or boutique firm, with additional start-up experience as a plus - Strong executive presence, with the ability to communicate confidently and concisely with senior stakeholders - A knack for visual storytelling — you know how to build decks that land with business leaders and drive decisions via PowerPoint/Google Slides - Comfort and fluency with numbers— whether it’s building simple models or helping quantify impact, you're confident working in Excel/Google Sheets - Comfortable working in ambiguity and wearing multiple hats across pre-sales, account strategy, and internal ops - A proactive and resourceful approach — you don’t wait to be told what to do; you anticipate needs, connect dots, and make things happen - Curiosity and interest in the world of AI, data platforms, and transforming how organizations operate — no prior experience required, but motivation matters - Motivated by outcomes — you take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about delivering value - Hunger to grow — you want to stretch beyond your current skill set and contribute to a company that’s scaling fast 💛 What We Offer - Competitive base salary + equity in the form of stock options - Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance (inclusive of dental and vision) and 401k matching - Flexible hybrid work environment - The opportunity to build solutions, systems, and software from the ground up as we scale - A small, tight-knit team where your contributions directly impacts our ability to execute on our mission - Occasional travel (less than 10% of your time) for company offsites where you'll connect with teams across our New York and London hubs 🛸 Our Principles - Only Valuable Problems: Not every problem is worth solving. We work on the projects that will significantly improve our customers' bottom lines. - Outcomes, Not Activity: We create value, not extract it. We focus on our business impact, not racking up billable hours. - Forward Deployed Engineering: We never build in a vacuum. We go to the heart of the problem and build alongside our users. - One size fits none. Generic software fails the most important customers. We build for the specific — the exact industry, workflow, data, and competitive context of the company we're serving. 🚠 Why Northslope At Northslope, we're built different. We take pride in being more like a product startup than a traditional services firm. We value velocity, ingenuity, and grit, and we relentlessly focus on delivering tangible outcomes for our customers. We also have fun. We get to work on big, hard problems, in a fast-paced environment, alongside sharp yet kind teammates who help us continuously grow and delight in one another's successes. We offer full benefits and all the perks you'd expect of a modern tech startup, and are a distributed global team with hubs in London, New York, and UAE. 📬 We hope you’re excited to join us and look forward to speaking with you soon. Northslope is committed to building a strong, diverse team. We believe teams with a diversity of lived experience, background, and perspectives create better outcomes for our customers and are just more enjoyable to be part of. We are committed to creating and living a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our work. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, religion, disability, pregnancy, age, military status, marital status, genetic characteristics or information, gender, gender identity, gender variance, or sexual orientation.
