The Role

Leap is seeking a Growth Strategy & Operations Analyst to support the processes, analyses, and initiatives that fuel the company’s growth. This role sits within Leap’s Growth organization and operates at the intersection of go-to-market strategy, real estate, and business operations.

The Growth Strategy & Operations team serves as the analytical and operational backbone of Growth - supporting Business Development and Real Estate while acting as the cross-functional partners between Growth and other teams at Leap. The team helps shape how opportunities are evaluated, how deals (both net new business and renewals) are structured, and how the platform scales efficiently through key strategic initiatives.

In this role, you will partner closely with senior leaders and cross-functional teams to support live brand and real estate deals, contribute to high-impact strategic initiatives, and design and execute Growth workflows and processes that enable Leap to scale. You will participate in strategic projects across go-to-market, pricing, and growth planning, build analyses and materials that inform executive decision-making, and own execution of key deliverables tied directly to company objectives.

This is an ideal role for candidates who want to move closer to execution, develop operating judgment, and learn how a venture-backed platform business is built from the inside out.

Location

This role is based in New York City, with the expectation to be in the office 4 days a week.

Core Responsibilities

• Deal Support & Underwriting: Draw insights from financial underwriting, pricing analyses, and deal scenarios to support the end-to-end lifecycle of brand and real estate opportunities. Develop analyses and materials that inform investment decisions, deal structuring, and go-to-market strategy.
• Go-To-Market Strategy & Workflows: Support the design, execution, and ongoing refinement of go-to-market and Growth workflows that move opportunities from early interest through signed agreements. Apply structured problem-solving and process improvement to improve how Growth operates at scale.
• Reporting: Standardize key metric tracking and pipeline reporting to support visibility and decision-making across the Growth organization. Translate data into clear, actionable insights that help evaluate opportunity quality, pipeline health, and performance trends.
• Operational Efficiency & Tooling: Identify and assess opportunities to improve efficiency through systems, tooling, and AI-enabled workflows. Support the design, testing, and adoption of process improvements that increase the velocity, consistency, and scalability of Growth execution.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Finance, Legal & Risk, and Operational Teams to support the evaluation and execution of growth opportunities as well as product evolution. Contribute to cross-functional projects through deep understanding of Leap’s business model, unit economics, and operating capabilities.
• Brand & Platform Support: Develop a strong understanding of Leap’s business model and value proposition. Support external-facing materials and conversations by tailoring Leap’s platform narrative to prospective brand partners’ P&L structures, growth objectives, and operating models.

Position Requirements

• 1-3 years in GTM strategy and/or operations, management consulting, investment banking, sales and trading, strategic sales, or a high-growth startup environment.
• Strong business and financial acumen with comfort navigating models, data, and deal documentation.

• A “no task too big or too small” approach, with the ability to switch seamlessly between detailed execution and higher-level problem solving.
• Self-starting, accountable, detail-oriented, and results-driven mindset.
• Interest in consumer brands, retail, real estate, and platform businesses.
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills.
