Strategy & Operations Associate

You'll gain direct exposure to the core functions of building a venture-backed startup: company strategy, GTM execution, operations, fundraising, and strategic partnerships — working alongside the CEO and Leadership Team from an early stage.

A fast-growing market, and a chance to make a real impact: The restaurant technology space is expanding quickly, driven by rising demand for digital operations, reservations, and guest experience tools - and restaurants are under more pressure than ever to modernize. You'll join a lean, high-growth team where your work directly shapes how restaurants run better and where individual contributions have outsized impact on the business and the success of the customers we support.

Collaborative environment: You'll receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you learn, grow, and achieve your personal/professional goals.

The yearly total cash compensation for this role is $115k - $130k. Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and will vary depending on location, experience, skills, and qualifications. Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package - full-time positions are also eligible for equity awards and benefits.
