Strategic Operations Analyst (AKA Chief Wrangler) - Remote
The Opportunity
As a Strategic Operations Analyst at Nascent, you're the human interface building and managing a fleet of agents to automate operations, project management, and execution — so you can focus on the coordination, judgment, and momentum that only humans can deliver. You'll run meetings, facilitate strategy sessions, support technical projects and product roadmaps, keep teams aligned and unblocked, and ensure execution stays sharp. You'll turn ambiguity into digital infrastructure, translate strategy into execution pathways, and own the operating layer that keeps everything moving. You’re not just supporting execution — you’re an execution partner who amplifies the impact of the people around you.
You don't just use AI — you've already built with it. You've created agents or automations that executed real work: preparing meetings, synthesizing information, coordinating projects, or tracking execution. Maybe you did this as a product manager, coordinator, or assistant — but the pattern is the same: when something repeated, you didn't accept it, you designed it away. You’ll work closely with cross-functional partners, building strong relationships and trust as you strengthen how we execute.
If you’ve built pieces of this and are excited about owning and improving how a team operates — even if you haven’t done every part exactly as described — we’d love to hear from you!
This position is fully remote and operates within +/- 3 hours of EST.
What You’ll Do
- Act as the operating backbone of the team — keeping people aligned, unblocked, and executing through tight meetings, clean tools, and consistent follow-through that builds trust.
- Design and run execution systems that compound speed: calendar orchestration, AI-driven meeting prep, internal comms, and decision tracking that actually closes loops.
- Build and deploy AI-powered workflows and automations (ChatGPT, Zapier, NotebookLM, Claude Code, and beyond) that eliminate friction, compress cycles, and scale your impact far past manual effort.
- Turn ambiguity into infrastructure — translating messy inputs into clear workflows, durable documentation, and dependable vendor and partner systems.
- Own project momentum across the team — setting plans, sequencing work, tracking commitments, and ensuring nothing important stalls, drifts, or gets dropped.
- Partner with leads as an execution builder — converting strategy into concrete actions and turning next steps into shipped outcomes.
- Create clarity across stakeholders with different priorities, facilitating decisions in a way that keeps people aligned and bought in.
About You
- You’re deeply curious by default. You ask why before how, and you enjoy digging into how systems actually work so you can make them better.
- You’re relentlessly resourceful. Blockers don’t frustrate you — they spark exploration. There’s always another path, and you’ll find it.
- You already operate with AI as part of your daily workflow, using it to extend your capacity, eliminate busywork, and experiment your way to better systems.
- You’re highly organized and highly adaptive — able to shift priorities quickly without losing clarity, momentum, or judgment.
- You see systems everywhere. When something is clunky, manual, or unclear, your curiosity pulls you toward fixing it — especially when it helps people do great work with less friction.
- You have an instinct to redesign repetitive work. If something happens more than once, you look for ways to improve, automate, or simplify it — and you take ownership of making that change real.
- You build strong working relationships. You know that great execution isn’t just systems — it’s people. You communicate clearly, surface tradeoffs early, and make it easy for others to move with you.
Required Experience
- 2+ years in a fast-moving environment, with demonstrated ability to build systems and automations that scaled your impact
- Experience managing projects or complex logistics with multiple stakeholders.
Nice to Have’s
- Comfort navigating financial workflows and terminology with an interest in understanding the underlying systems
