About Manifest

We power the next generation of AI-native law firms with one unified global brand, a proprietary technology platform, and a centralized back office — enabling lawyers to eliminate the administrative burden and focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for their clients. Backed by leading venture investors, Manifest O.S. is scaling rapidly.
About The Team
The Strategy & Operations team owns the most consequential problems that don't belong anywhere else. We design operating systems for new practice areas, build KPI frameworks that actually drive behavior, and run the deep-dive analyses that reshape how leadership thinks about the business. We're a small, high-leverage team that works directly with the C-suite and owns initiatives from conception to handoff.
What We're Looking For
• You have 7–12 years of experience in strategy consulting, operations at a high-growth startup, investment banking, or a similar environment where you've owned complex, ambiguous problems end-to-end. • You have a strong analytical foundation — SQL or equivalent, financial modeling, comfort with messy data. • You're deeply AI-native; you use AI to move faster and produce sharper work, not just to automate small tasks. • You're opinionated about what 'good' looks like and willing to push back constructively when you see gaps or inefficiencies.
What You'll Do
This is a generalist role for someone who wants to work across the highest-priority problems on the Strategy & Operations team. In one quarter, you might be designing a new KPI framework for an attorney team; in the next, building the operational backbone for a new practice area; in the next, running a deep-dive analysis that reshapes how we think about a business unit. You own end-to-end strategic initiatives — diagnosing the problem, framing the solution, building the system or playbook, and handing off to operators — while staying close to the work to learn what actually moves the business. You may manage 0–2 direct reports depending on the initiative. This role is a fast track for someone who wants to eventually own a function.
This For You If
You thrive in ambiguity and can structure problems that don't come with clear parameters. You're equally comfortable building a financial model, designing a process flow, or facilitating a strategic discussion with senior leadership. You move fast but think deeply — you can ship a rough-cut analysis in a day when speed matters, but you also know when to slow down and get the foundation right. You're intellectually honest about what you know and don't know, and you're not afraid to challenge conventional thinking when the data doesn't support it.
Not For You If
This role comes with the costs of generalism. You'll constantly context-switch between different problems and practice areas. You'll rarely get to see a project through to its final, polished state — your job is to build the foundation and hand it off to operators. You won't own a single domain for long enough to become the definitive expert. If you need deep specialization, clear ownership boundaries, or the satisfaction of seeing your work through to completion, this isn't the right fit.
