Strategy & Partnerships Lead, Fizz

• The ideal candidate will be a strong problem solver with a passion for product and an intuitive empathy for users
• 3 to 5 years total experience, with 2 years of experience in either management consulting, investment banking, or product management and 1+ years of experience in a venture-backed startup
• A natural curiosity and passion for technology, including an interest in learning how engineering systems work and how our tech stack impacts our users
• An obsessive attention to detail and a strong bias-to-action
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to autonomously define a strategy from first principles
• A high degree of ownership and self-motivation; this is a leadership role and will require someone to define the work to be done and execute on it with limited direct management
• A direct communication style and a dedication to “strong opinions, weakly held”; Fizz culture is built on humility and a promise that “the best idea wins.” We hold each other accountable, speak directly, and debate ideas passionately
• Willing and able to work out of our Palo Alto office 5 days a week
