Our recipes are developed by leading animal nutritionists, and are made with only real, human-grade ingredients... and nothing artificial. Through UnKibble™ and our original fresh-frozen line, we’re rethinking what feeding your dog well can look like, one bowl at a time. Since our founding in 2018, we have served over 200 million meals to happy pets across the US and Canada.\nWe’re a team of builders, problem solvers and dog people, united by the belief that dogs deserve better. We’re looking for people who want to do the best work of their career, dig into challenges with smart people, and help shape a brand that’s redefining an entire category. This is a chance to join a high-growth e-commerce company and have an outsized impact in a fast-paced, ambitious environment. Plus, you get to think about dogs all day.\nWho You Are\nYou’ll work closely with senior leadership and the broader strategy team to identify and evaluate potential growth opportunities. Every day will be different, and could include building out an opportunity sizing model or deep-diving into a country’s import regulations. You’ll also own our consumer and competitor research roadmap, so our biggest bets are grounded in what customers actually want. As projects move to execution, you’ll work cross-functionally to align on deliverables and ensure we stay on track. This role offers direct exposure to senior leadership and cross-functional influence across Marketing, Product, Finance and Operations. You’re analytical, business-minded, and naturally curious; just as eager to dig into a P&L as you are to pick up the phone and speak directly with customers. You’re a strong quant: comfortable building models from scratch, working through retail math (e.g., pricing, margin, velocity), and pressure-testing assumptions without needing a template. You balance structured analysis with strong intuition, and know how to translate detailed analysis into a clear recommendation for stakeholders. The ideal candidate has a bias towards action, thrives in environments where priorities can shift quickly, and takes pride in turning ambiguous problems into concrete, measurable outcomes. \nResponsibilities\nOwn the analytics and modeling for strategic projects (e.g., retail channel expansion, new geographies) and synthesize insights into clear, structured business cases in partnership with Finance and Operations \nDevelop decision-making frameworks and strategic recommendations grounded in data, strategic fit, and resourcing needs to guide go/no-go decisions; present findings to senior leadership in clear, compelling formats\nProvide analytical rigor, strategic thought partnership, and project management for ad hoc cross-functional projects (e.g., evaluating how ancillary products are displayed in the funnel)\nOwn the consumer and competitor research roadmap, from our recurring brand awareness and perception survey to ad hoc surveys and 1:1 consumer interviews \nMonitor pricing, product launches, marketing campaigns, promotions, and distribution changes across key competitors\nBuild detailed cross-functional execution plans, including timelines, owners, and risks; track progress against plans, flag risks early, and facilitate cross-functional alignment and problem-solving\nRequirements\n2-4 years of experience at a top-tier management/strategy consulting firm; experience with membership or subscription businesses is a plus. Experience working in the consumer goods, food, or retail industry is a plus.\nBachelor's degree in business, statistics, economics, data science, or a related field preferred.\nStrong quantitative skills and grasp of statistical methodologies, with a proven ability to independently build models from scratch (e.g., market sizing, P&L, retail velocity). \nStrong understanding of e-commerce and retail performance metrics (e.g., CAC, LTV, velocity, gross margin).\nExperience designing, writing, and analyzing surveys, leading 1:1 consumer interviews, and writing questionnaires/discussion guides.\nExperience managing the full research lifecycle from planning to insight delivery, and effectively communicating findings to stakeholders at all levels of seniority.\nExpertise in managing multiple initiatives independently, prioritizing effectively, and driving projects from concept to execution.\nStrong proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; familiarity with statistical analysis software (e.g., R, SPSS, or similar tools), BI tools (e.g., Looker, Omni, or similar), and/or syndicated retail data (e.g., Nielsen) a plus.\nExceptional work ethic and ability to independently create and drive workstreams in a fast-paced, deadline-driven startup environment.\nSelf-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity and able to react quickly to changing priorities.\nDog lovers a plus! \nSalary: Up to $130,000 annually based on experience and qualifications.\nThis reflects the base salary for this position. Compensation may vary based on factors such as experience, certifications and business needs. In addition to base pay, S&T offers annual bonuses, a comprehensive benefits package, flexible time off and employee discounts.\nThis is a hybrid position based in our Midtown Manhattan office. \nIn-office presence is required on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.\nSpot & Tango is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5559,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual bonuses","Flexible time off","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Pet Food, Supplies & Care"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T18:10:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":59,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.781,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":35,"expected_fill_days":50,"reasons":["conf:3","win:late","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":130000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/spot-tango-strategy-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/spot-tango-strategy-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-15T00:25:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":765,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":174598},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=174598"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fspot-tango-strategy-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fspot-tango-strategy-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fspot-tango-strategy-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/spot-tango-strategy-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fspot-tango-strategy-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4185341}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"spotandtango.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4185341},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
