Strategy and Operations

About Giga

Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance.

Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

Why join Giga

• The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
• The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
• The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
• The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

What you'll do

Giga Energy's CEO moves fast across fundraising, customer deals, plant/site operations, and board management, and needs someone who can move with him. As Strategy & Operations under the CEO, you'll operate as his right hand: part executive partner, part operator, part fixer. One day you're building the board deck, the next you're on a plane to a customer site, the next you're running point on a cross-functional technical project. This is a rare opportunity with significant career growth, for someone early in their career to work directly with the CEO, tackling urgent, real business challenges.

Where you'll work

This role is based out of our Houston office and works in lockstep with the CEO in person, the job doesn't work remotely. We'll support relocation for the right person. Expect to travel frequently and often on short notice to other Giga offices (San Francisco, Long Beach), customer sites, investor meetings, and industry events.

Responsibilities

• Act as the CEO's strategic and operational right hand - solve complex problems, run research and analysis, prep for high level meetings so his time goes to the highest-leverage work
• Own cross-functional projects end-to-end on the CEO's behalf: define the problem, drive the workstream, chase down the people who need to move, and close the loop
• Build board decks, investor materials, and executive presentations that turn messy inputs into a clear, compelling narrative
• Prepare the CEO for meetings, board sessions, and external engagements; synthesizing background material, drafting talking points, and tracking follow-ups to completion
• Travel with or ahead of the CEO to represent Giga at customer sites, manufacturing facilities, and industry events
• Manage complex, fast-changing scheduling and travel logistics across time zones and offices, no task considered too big or too small
• Research and analyze ad hoc strategic questions - market dynamics, competitor moves, operational bottlenecks - and turn findings into a clear recommendation, not just a summary
• Stand in for the CEO in select internal meetings, ensuring decisions are captured and followed through on

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• 2-4+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or a similarly rigorous, high-output professional environment
• Demonstrated experience building polished, executive-ready presentations (PowerPoint or GSuite)
• Strong project management skills, with a track record of driving cross-functional work to completion without hand-holding
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex or ambiguous information into a clear point of view
• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort operating with incomplete information
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively, often on short notice
• Ability to relocate to and work in-person from Houston, TX

Bonus Points

• Prior consulting, banking, or strategy experience in the energy, power, or industrial infrastructure sectors
• Experience directly supporting a CEO, founder, or senior executive
• Experience in a high-growth startup environment

How We Work

We value people who take ownership, raise risks early, communicate directly, and follow through. Incomplete information is part of the job. Make the best decision you can, document it, and adjust as the facts change. Move quickly on reversible decisions and take more care when security, safety, financial, employee, or customer risk is involved.

• Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
• 401(k) with 4% employer match
