Senior Associate, Innovation & New Bets - Strategy & Operations

• You've done some version of consultative selling — whether that was your title or not
• You have real product curiosity (you dig into how things work, not just how to position them)
• You can build and test a pricing or GTM hypothesis, not just present one
• You're fluent with AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, similar) as part of your daily workflow
• You can write clearly, present persuasively, and hold a room with senior stakeholders
• You're comfortable spanning enterprise and SMB segments — different merchants, different motivations, different sales motions

This Role Is NOT for You If... - You need structure handed to you. There's no established playbook, no onboarding curriculum for the products, no "here's how we've always done it."

• You're more comfortable analyzing than doing. This role requires you to build things, sell things, and make decisions with incomplete information — not write recommendation decks. - Your AI fluency means using ChatGPT to wordsmith emails and polish slide decks. We mean something different: using tools like Claude Code to build workflows, automate repetitive analysis, and give yourself operational leverage. If that distinction doesn't resonate, this isn't the right fit. - You operate better on an island. The cross-functional partners here are smart and opinionated. You need to build trust and navigate these relationships both internally and externally. - You want a clearly scoped lane. This is a Swiss-army-knife role across multiple products at different stages. If you want to go deep on one thing, this will frustrate you. We expect this position to be filled by 4/26/2026.
