Strategy Associate

About IEX

At IEX, we’re passionate about building technology that moves industries forward. Our story began when we built a stock exchange designed to deliver high-performance results for all investors. Our belief is that technology should level the playing field so that opportunity is equitable. We are applying what we learned from building a high-performance stock exchange to build technology that solves for complexity and accelerates growth in other areas. We aspire to build a trusted, disciplined, and diversified business. Our goal is to build transformative technology without ever compromising our integrity - and we’re just getting started!

About the Role
We’re looking for a sharp, resourceful, and adaptable Strategy Associate to join our lean, high-impact team. This is a hands-on role for someone with 2–4 years of experience in consulting, investment banking, or a similarly intense analytical environment. If you know your way around a financial model, can turn a pile of data into a crisp narrative deck, and don’t mind being thrown into the deep end—we want to meet you.

What You’ll Do

• Drive cross-functional strategic initiatives across the business
• Partner with senior leadership to shape high-stakes decisions
• Build excellent, impactful board-level presentations
• Support corporate development efforts — diligence, pitch materials, etc.
• Research / analyze complex problems and recommend solutions
• Present solutions and recommendations to C-Suite including CEO
• Help craft and present the firm-wide strategic narrative for internal and external stakeholders
• Translate abstract ideas into frameworks, slides, and action plans

What We’re Looking For

• 2–4 years in consulting or investment banking
• Strong modeling skills. You’ve built financial / operating models, not just edited them
• Deck-building instincts—structured thinking, sharp visuals, and storytelling
• Business fluency. You “get it” without a 10-page brief
• You’re okay with high expectations and direct feedback
• A good sense of humor
• Comfort with ambiguity, fast pivots, and the occasional fire drill
• Bias for action, not perfection

Bonus Points

• Experience in tech, fintech, or at a growth-stage company
• Exposure to M&A, venture investing, or market entry strategy
• Experience with KDB, Python, SQL, other data management coding languages

Why you should apply:

• Comprehensive Benefits

• 401K employer match
• OneMedical membership
• 16 weeks paid parental leave
