  • Set goals, milestones and KPIs; hold our team accountable
  • Define and validate monetization strategy and pricing & packaging
  • Build driver-based forecasts that ladder up to company goals
  • Define the path to achieving scale, including GTM strategy
• Executive liaison: Serve as the point of contact for the executive team/board on updates, progress, decisions, and risks.

🙌 What you bring

• 4-7 years of experience in a business operations role, including 3+ years in management consulting.

• Strong executive presence - excellent verbal & written communications skills
• High intellectual horsepower with attention to detail and ability to work with autonomy
• You think and operate like a founder; you don’t wait for permission to make an impact

✨ Why work at Pulley?

• We’ve moved beyond early-stage uncertainty - Our product has traction and we’re building on a solid foundation, but we’re still early enough in our journey where your work will directly shape the company’s trajectory as we scale.
• Make it easier for anyone to start a company - Founders turn bold ideas into reality - building things that might not exist otherwise. Pulley exists to make equity management simpler, smarter, and more accessible for founders from day one.
• Work with a high-performing and passionate team - We value the concept of stunning colleagues and we’re thoughtful about creating a team that is excited about building a great company together. Here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:
• First Principles Thinking  - We believe in breaking down problems into their most basic parts, and that something is possible unless proven otherwise. We understand “why did certain things work?” and apply it to our situation.
• Ship It & Iterate - We value people who not only generate ideas but also do the work to bring them to life. Instead of fixating on outcomes, we focus on the inputs we can control and take our best bets. We move quickly to ship something, talk to users, get feedback, and iterate.
• Boldly Honest & Aggressively Considerate - Being boldly honest means challenging each other to set and hit goals, and make the right strategic decisions on what to build. Being aggressively considerate means caring about one another as humans and speaking up with empathy so we can succeed together as a team.
• Ego-less Learner - Everyday at Pulley, we’re trying things that we’ve never done before - sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t. It’s important to embrace the mindset of a beginner - stay curious, open to feedback, and ready to learn and grow alongside the team.
