About the role

Original posting from Base Power via Ashby

ABOUT BASE

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Strategic Ops generalist to do whatever it takes to grow. This isn't a defined role — it's a seat for someone who sees what needs to happen and makes it happen. One month you're standing up a new market launch. The next you're building the system that makes the last one scale. You'll work across every surface of the growth motion — new channels, new geographies, new products — and own the execution end to end.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Launch new markets, open new channels, and own the operational infrastructure that makes them scale: systems, processes, reporting, and enablement.
  • Identify bottlenecks and build the fixes, whether that's a process change, an automation, or new tooling.
  • Translate complex data into clear narratives and action for Sales, Growth, and leadership.
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives from design to execution, keeping timelines tight and priorities on track.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • A track record of figuring things out in fast-moving, under-defined environments.
  • Equal comfort in a spreadsheet, a member conversation, and a product spec.
  • An instinct to treat gaps as opportunities, not someone else's problem.
  • A habit of moving fast and starting before you're told to.
  • A need to build, not just advise, and to define your own scope as you go.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Growth team sets the pace for how fast Base can deliver affordable, reliable power to the people who need it. We operate as one team across marketing, sales, support, product, and design — lean and high-ownership. Everything we build is measured against one bar: the fastest-growing, most beloved energy company in the world.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.

OUR VALUES

  • First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
  • Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
  • Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
  • Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
  • Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.
  • Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.
  • Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.

DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE AT BASE.
