Strategy Manager

Description:

Guardio is on a mission to redefine consumer cybersecurity for the modern internet.



We operate at consumer scale, protecting millions of people every day across devices, accounts, and digital touchpoints. In a world where phishing, fraud, and AI-powered scams evolve overnight, Guardio stays ahead of the curve.

We move fast, think deeply, and build with purpose. Our culture is rooted in transparency, feedback, and collaboration along with shared wins, team dinners, company trips, and good times.

We’re a team of 100+ makers, doers, and boundary-breakers. If you’re ready to tackle meaningful challenges, grow at lightning speed, and help shape the next frontier of online safety, you belong here.

So what’s the job?



We're looking for a Strategy Manager reporting to the Director of Strategy, working directly on the company's most important strategic questions: where to play, how to win, and how to tell that story to boards, investors, and partners.

This is a thinking-and-crafting role, not a process role. You'll spend your time on market analysis, strategic ideation, financial modeling, and executive-grade materials - the work that shapes leadership decisions rather than tracks them. You'll operate with significant exposure to the CEO, CTO, board members, and top-tier investors.

The ideal candidate comes from venture capital, top-tier management consulting, or investment banking - someone who has evaluated markets, built investment theses, and produced materials that hold up in front of the most demanding audiences.

What You'll Do:

• Drive strategic analysis on Guardio's biggest questions: new markets, new products, competitive positioning, and M&A/partnership opportunities
• Build board decks, investor materials, and partner-facing presentations that shape high-stakes conversations
• Develop market maps, competitive intelligence, and industry theses across consumer security and adjacent spaces
• Build financial and business models to pressure-test strategic options - from new product lines to partnership economics
• Support corporate development and fundraising workstreams end-to-end: research, analysis, materials, and meeting prep
• Ideate alongside the leadership team - bring an outside-in perspective and challenge assumptions with data

Who We’re Looking For:

• 3-6 years in venture capital, management consulting (MBB or equivalent), investment banking, or a corporate strategy role in high-growth tech
• Exceptional analytical - comfortable going from ambiguous question to structured thesis, model, and recommendation
• Top-tier presentation and storytelling skills - you've built materials for boards, investment committees, or C-level clients
• Strong financial modeling fluency - unit economics, market sizing, scenario analysis
• Intellectual curiosity and strong commercial instincts - you form views on markets and defend them
• Excellent written and spoken English; comfortable producing polished, external-facing materials
• Thrives in ambiguity and moves fast without sacrificing rigor
