Director of Corporate Strategy

As Director of Corporate Strategy, you'll own the systems that translate company strategy into execution. This role sits at the center of how Nourish operates. You'll own the company's operating system — from OKRs to executive operating cadence, business reviews, board meetings, and company communications — while leading a centralized S&O team deployed against the company's highest-impact priorities.

The scope of this role is intentionally broad and dynamic. As a generalist operator, you'll work across the business to identify and solve the company's highest-priority challenges, which will evolve based on business needs. Success in this role requires the ability to quickly build context, prioritize effectively, and bring structure and execution to ambiguous problems.

You'll report to the Head of Corporate Strategy and partner closely with the CEO and executive team. This is a true player-coach role: you'll personally lead many of the company's highest-priority initiatives while building and developing a team of exceptional generalist operators capable of solving problems across every part of the business.

This role is full-time and open to NYC-based candidates only (expectation to work in-person 3-4 days per week, with some remote flexibility). Our office is located in Gramercy.
