  • Elite Foundation: 5–10 years of total work experience, including foundational years at a top-tier management consulting firm or investment bank, followed by high-impact BizOps/Strategy experience at a fast-growing tech company. Top-tier undergraduate or MBA (HBS, Stanford, Wharton, etc.) preferred.
  • Hands-on Analytics: Comfortable with quantitative modeling and data manipulation. Ideally you don’t ask a team to pull numbers for you—you dig into the database yourself.
  • First-Principles Problem Solver: You break down complex, messy problems into clear hypotheses and actionable frameworks before writing code or pulling data.
  • Bias for Action & Execution: You don't stop at giving recommendations or making slides. You can help drive implementation end-to-end in partnership with other leaders.
  • Low Ego, High Ownership: You act like an owner. You care deeply about solving the right problems for creators and readers, regardless of whether a task falls neatly into your job description.
  • Executive-Level Communication: Concise, direct, and persuasive—able to influence senior executives, engineers, and creative partners alike without relying on corporate jargon. Substack’s compensation package includes a market-competitive salary, equity for all full-time roles, and exceptional benefits. Our cash compensation salary range for this role is $200,000 - $300,000 .

We’re seeking people passionate about enabling independent expression and building a better business model for creators.
