Strategy Manager

Discussion


Guardio is one of the fastest-growing companies in consumer cybersecurity - we’ve doubled revenue four years running, passed $150 million in ARR, and now protect over a million people, at a moment when AI has made scams more convincing than ever.


AI has democratized cybercrime: scams that once required sophisticated hacking teams are now cheap, personalized, and everywhere.

Traditional security wasn’t built for this - so we’re building it, protection that sees the person, connects all the dots - and stop attacks and scams wherever vector they come from.


And honestly, we all feel here - it’s just the beginning!

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
