ABOUT US

Sydecar is on a mission to transform the world of private markets. Our goal is to make these markets more accessible, transparent, and liquid, and we’re achieving this by revolutionizing the way investment vehicles are created and executed.

At Sydecar, we’re not just a platform; we’re a trusted partner in venture capital. We’re dedicated to simplifying and standardizing the private investing experience, empowering capital allocators to discover and support visionary entrepreneurs who are shaping the future.

Our platform is designed with ease and efficiency in mind. We take care of all the behind-the-scenes tasks, from automating banking, ensuring compliance, handling contracts, managing taxes, to streamlining reporting. This leaves investors the freedom to concentrate on what matters most: making valuable deals and nurturing meaningful relationships.

Join us at Sydecar, as we lead the charge in revolutionizing private investing.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re hiring a Business Operations & Strategy Associate to support Sydecar’s next phase of growth. You’ll work closely with the Senior Business Operations and Strategy Manager and senior leadership to translate strategic priorities into rigorous analysis, clear recommendations, and execution-ready materials. This isn’t a support role – you’ll own analytical work streams end-to-end, from scoping a model to presenting findings to the leadership team. You’ll gain deep exposure to how a high-growth fintech platform makes decisions across pricing, market entry, partnerships, and product strategy. If you’re someone who moves fast, communicates clearly, and gets energized by solving problems that don’t have obvious answers, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

– Build and maintain financial models that support planning and decision-making across revenue forecasting, pricing, unit economics, and scenario analysis.

– Conduct market sizing, competitive research, and landscape analysis to help frame new strategic initiatives before they go into execution.

– Develop materials for leadership, board, and investor audiences – translating complex analysis into clear, concise narratives with a point of view.

– Partner cross-functionally with teams across Go-to-Market, Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Customer Experience to coordinate analytical inputs and support initiative planning.

– Manage complex, cross-functional projects to success: track workstreams, dependencies, and timelines on strategic projects to ensure alignment across teams before and during execution.

– Identify patterns in operational and revenue data and surface actionable insights – not just the “what” but the “so what.”

– Support ad hoc analysis and research requests from the COO and CEO as strategic priorities evolve.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

– 2-3 years of experience in investment banking, management consulting, or a high-growth startup in an analytical or strategy role.

– Excellent financial modeling skills – you’re comfortable building a model from scratch, structuring assumptions clearly, and stress-testing outputs.

– Well-versed in Excel or Google Sheets; able to work with large datasets and build analysis that others can follow and update.

– Proficiency and curiosity in AI tooling.

– Experience building presentation decks that communicate a clear story — you know how to make a slide do work, not just hold information.

– Ability to work cross-functionally and move projects forward without direct authority — you’re effective at influencing through clarity and credibility, not position.

– Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you can distill a nuanced analysis into a few crisp sentences for a senior audience.

– You enjoy data analysis and can find and deliver data-driven insights.

– Highly organized and self-directed – you manage your own priorities, flag blockers early, and are a self-starter.

– Comfort operating in ambiguity; this is a fast-moving environment where the scope of work evolves alongside the business.

BONUS IF YOU HAVE

– Exposure to private markets, venture capital, or fintech.

– Experience working at an early-stage or Series A/B company where priorities shifted quickly and scope was broad.

– Proficiency in SQL or experience querying data directly.

– An experimentation mindset with AI tools – you’ve used AI to move faster and think critically about where it fits in an analytical workflow.
