Business operations & strategy Lead

What you'll do:

EX.CO is looking for a sharp, deeply curious Business Operations & Strategy Lead to join our Strategy team. This is a high-impact role at the center of how we understand our market, sharpen our competitive edge, and take our products to the world.

You'll be creating the materials that impact EX.CO's thinking at the highest level. You will connect in-depth research on what's happening in the video and digital media ecosystem with how our GTM, Sales, CS, and Product teams respond to it. This includes crafting strategic materials and executive-level decks, producing market intelligence reports, competitive landscape analyses and battle cards, identifying market trends, risks, and opportunities, and translating these insights into clear internal enablement and communication.

You will also shape our narrative and collateral based on unique positioning insights, partner closely with Product and commercial teams to flag market shifts, and deliver business impact analyses and projections that help guide strategic decision-making across the company.

We're looking for someone who gets energized by new challenges—someone driven, independent, collaborative, and equally comfortable diving into the details as thinking at 30,000 feet.

Our Story:

EX.CO is the video technology fueling growth for media leaders worldwide. Since we launched, our mission has been to shape the future of media technology, powering publishers’ business success in a rapidly changing reality. Today, we partner with leading media companies—including USA Today, Hearst Newspapers, Motorsport Network, The Arena Group (Parade, The Street), and Ziff Davis (Mashable) —to maximize revenue across every screen: web, mobile apps, CTV, and DOOH. Our technology combines an online video platform with a machine learning-based yield engine, giving media owners the control, scale, and transparency they need to thrive.

What drives us is simple: we’re stronger together, always evolving, and radically transparent. Collaboration fuels our best work, innovation keeps us ahead, and honesty builds lasting trust with our colleagues, partners, and customers. We are proudly backed by The Walt Disney Company, Saban Ventures, Viola Group, 83North, and others.

Now we’re growing our team—and that’s where you come in. We’re building a place where talented people make an impact, ideas spark change, and everyone has a seat at the table.

What We're Looking For:

• 5–8 years in business, strategy, consulting, GTM, marketing, product or adjacent realms.
• Experience at a video technology, digital media, AdTech companies, or the publisher ecosystem is a **strong advantage**
• Analytical and creative: you go deep, verify your sources, and produce work that people trust
• Exceptional deck and materials craft. You take pride in the quality of your output and can produce client-facing materials independently
• Confident communicator who can lead a room. You run enablement sessions, not just send reports
• Strong writer with a sharp, strategic point of view
• Executor: as comfortable in the weeds as you are at 30,000 feet
• AI-fluent and AI-critical: you use modern tools to move fast, but know when not to trust them and when they need editing
• Self-directed: you figure things out without being micro-managed
