Opportunity

As a founding team member of our Strategy & Implementation team, you will help define and operationalize one of the most critical functions in Boom’s next stage of growth. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you’ll partner directly with Boom's senior leadership, launch and scale programs for our most important enterprise customers, and lay the foundation for how we work with partners and drive strategic initiatives. You won’t be handed a playbook—you’ll write it. This is an ideal role for someone with a consulting background (e.g., McKinsey, BCG, Bain) or similar experience in enterprise growth, operations, or strategy roles at high-growth companies. The position is based in our Austin office (near downtown).

What you'll do

• Enterprise launches: Lead the onboarding and successful implementation of Boom’s largest clients—setting strategy, owning execution, and coordinating cross-functional stakeholders from kickoff through post-launch success.

• Program management: Act as the central owner for strategic partner programs, ensuring timelines, goals, and KPIs are met and communicated clearly across internal and external teams.

• Partner edge cases & special projects: Take the lead on complex, ambiguous initiatives - whether that’s scoping and analyzing a new GTM motion, solving operational bottlenecks, or working through one-off enterprise partner challenges.

• Growth infrastructure: Help build the internal infrastructure that supports scale - this could include refining playbooks, developing reporting tools, or creating frameworks for account prioritization and resourcing.

• Framework development & storytelling: Structure problems, analyze options, and synthesize insights into slides and narratives that drive action.

• Relationship maximization: Proactively identify opportunities to optimize client use of our platform, driving engagement and adoption

• Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with sales, ops, product, engineering, and leadership to ensure alignment and velocity across all initiatives you own.

What you'll need

• 3 - 6+ years in management consulting or equivalent strategic roles in high-growth B2B SaaS or fintech environments

• Proven ability to own and deliver complex work-streams with limited oversight

• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills—able to influence across seniority levels and functions

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; highly comfortable working with structured data and creating executive-ready slides

• Ability to operate in ambiguity, think from first principles, and thrive in a fast-paced startup environment

• Experience in proptech, fintech, or working with property management systems (e.g., Yardi, AppFolio) is a plus

Benefits of working at Boom

• Competitive salary with stock options

• Full healthcare coverage (health, dental, vision) including 50% coverage for dependents

• 15 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) per year + 3 sick days + all US federal holidays (11 in total) (note: we think unlimited PTO is BS and causes some employees to feel guilty when they take it)

• Company-issued laptop/MacBook

• Company-sponsored training & development

• Regular off-sites, retreats, and other company-sponsored events and travel opportunities
