About the Role:

We’re building a high-impact team of strategic operators to drive the core initiatives shaping the future of the MrBeast ecosystem. As an Associate on the Corporate Development & Strategy team, you'll work closely with the CEO and senior leadership, leading cross-functional projects spanning new business creation, strategic partnerships, corporate development, infrastructure, and emerging platform strategy.

This team operates at the intersection of media, tech, and entrepreneurship - turning vision into execution and building the systems that will power our next chapter of growth. We’re looking for someone who can bring structure to ambiguity, think critically at both a strategic and operational level, and help build new ventures and capabilities from the ground up.

Success in this role requires strategic thinking, analytical rigor, and operational precision. This is a builder-operator seat with exposure to the most critical decisions in the business - you’ll thrive if you’re comfortable navigating uncharted territory, aligning cross-functional teams, and delivering meaningful results at speed. If owning complex initiatives end-to-end in a fast-moving environment excites you, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do:
• Lead cross-functional initiatives that don’t neatly fall into one department - from building new business lines to to scaling infrastructure and revenue operations
• Own complex projects from 0 to 1: sizing markets, modeling financial scenarios, developing execution roadmaps, and launching pilots
• Translate successful pilots into scalable systems, processes, or programs the business can operationalize
• Support strategic partnerships and deal evaluation efforts - including structuring, negotiation, diligence, and post-deal integration
• Develop financial frameworks and ROI analyses to inform investment, partnership, or new business decisions for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Collaborate across content, product, operations, data, legal, and finance to turn strategy into execution
• Drive alignment and clarity across leadership on the scope, progress, and impact of high-priority projects
• Build and manage relationships with external partners, agencies, or advisors as needed
• Present clear strategic recommendations to executive leadership to drive decision-making on key priorities
• Shape scalable operating models and strategic frameworks that guide how the org executes partnerships, new ventures, or company-wide initiatives
• Leverage modern tools - including AI - to accelerate execution, automate workflows, and increase team productivity
• Track market dynamics across the creator economy, platforms, and tech landscape to inform strategic bets

What You Bring:
• 3-5 years of experience in top-tier investment banking, strategy consulting, venture capital, private equity, or operating roles at high-growth companies, with at least 2 years in an internal or operator role
• Proven ability to take full ownership of complex, ambiguous projects - from initial scoping through execution and delivery
• Exceptional analytical and financial modeling skills, with the ability to synthesize data into actionable business insights
• Strong communicator capable of influencing senior executives and cross-functional teams through clear, structured thinking
• Adept at structuring and managing partnerships or deals, ideally with exposure to the media or technology sectors
• Comfortable operating at all altitudes – from high-level strategy with executives to digging into details alongside ICs
• Thrive in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments with evolving priorities
• Proficiency with modern AI tools and workflows - or the curiosity and initiative to learn and apply them independently
• Deep curiosity about the creator economy, new business models, and the future of content, tech, and platforms
• A team-first mindset, strong judgment, and an instinct for high-leverage work
