The Opportunity: Senior Manager, Strategy & Business Operations

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Strategy & Business Operations to take on Tilt's highest-stakes, least-defined problems and drive them to outcomes. You'll sit at the center of our Strategy & BizOps team and move fluidly across corporate strategy, M&A, investor relations, and cross-market business operations—going wherever the company most needs a sharp operator to find the right answer and then make it happen.

This is a senior, high-autonomy role for someone who does their best work without a playbook. You'll frame ambiguous, board-level questions, build the analysis and the recommendation, bring executives and cross-functional teams along with you, and then own execution end-to-end, leveraging AI and automation along the way.

You'll also serve as a credible, senior face for Tilt with external counterparties.

Responsibilities

• Drive top-level "where to play / how to play" investment decisions, owning the modeling & strategic recommendations behind new product lines, licensing, and other structural bets.
• Lead diligence on M&A opportunities and build proactive acquisition theses & target lists across Tilt’s markets.
• Own investor-relations strategy and execution.
• Take on cross-enterprise operational issues with no clear owner or precedent. Independently frame the problem, lay out and test hypotheses, build the analysis, and drive implementation of the best solutions.
• Lead initiatives within and across markets that build synergy and economies of scale across Tilt’s portfolio, from annual planning to executive reporting, reducing complexity and driving clearer ownership & visibility.
• Contribute to new-market selection, entry strategy, and resourcing decisions; from idea to launch execution.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of strategy, BizOps, corporate development, or other operating experience at high-growth startups.
• Prior top-tier management consulting experience is a plus.
• A track record of owning ambiguous, high-stakes problems from definition through execution, and you move them forward independently.
• Deep analytical and financial-modeling strength, using data to drive decisions and tell compelling stories.
• Highly organized and autonomous, comfortable owning ambiguous, high-impact work and building alignment across teams without heavy structure.
• A clear, confident communicator who earns trust quickly with senior stakeholders.
• A hands-on, results-focused operator, as comfortable in the weeds of a model as in front of the board.
• Instinctively use AI & automation to turn manual work into repeatable systems.
• Believe, like we do, that people are good for it—and that great products should reflect that trust.
