Strategy & Operations - Launch Associate (Special Operations)

Traba’s mission is to empower businesses and workers to reach their full productivity and potential.

By connecting both, new levels of productivity, earning potential, and avenues for growth are unlocked. We’re proud to be backed by the world’s best investors, such as Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.

About the Role

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial Strategy & Operations Launch Associate to join the Special Operations team. You will be responsible for helping drive our market strategy, expansion and growth by building up our business in existing regions and launching new markets. This role will require you to travel to markets, deliver for our customers, identify new acquisition channels and build scalable playbooks for us to continue to repeat and scale this process.

You’ll drive initiatives from concept to launch, working closely with product, ops, sales and business teams to ensure alignment and impact.

  • Hands-on and Field-focused: Embrace a hands-on approach, requiring travel to market to engage directly with customers, identify & experiment with local acquisition channels, gather insights and build on learnings

  • Analyze & Prioritize: Leverage data whenever possible to inform your hypothesis, prioritize and convince cross functional partners

What You’ll Need

  • Background: Bachelor’s degree in business, operations, engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
