VP of Strategy

About Any Signal

Any Signal is a startup whose mission is to usher in the next generation of RF products and services. For the most demanding space and defense missions, Any Signal provides a flexible platform with world‑class performance that is easy to deploy, monitor, purchase, and upgrade.

Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds that cover cloud computing to artificial intelligence, communications and sensing, embedded systems, and much more.

We're hiring a VP of Strategy to partner directly with the executive team and board to define, drive, and execute Any Signal's strategic vision. This is a high-impact, hands‑on leadership role where you'll help shape corporate strategy, evaluate new market opportunities, support partnerships and transactions, and drive alignment across product, go‑to‑market, and operations.

The ideal candidate combines strong analytical rigor with practical execution - someone who can operate comfortably in ambiguity, influence across functions, and translate strategy into action.

This role reports to the CEO with a dotted line to CFO.

• Lead the development, iteration, and execution of corporate strategy and long‑range planning as a trusted advisor to the CEO and leadership team.
• Partner with cross‑functional leaders to identify, evaluate, and prioritize growth initiatives, including new markets, products, partnerships, and business models.
• Conduct rigorous market, competitive, customer, and financial analysis to inform strategic decision‑making.
• Translate strategy into execution by establishing planning cadences, goal‑setting processes, and measurable strategic milestones.
• Develop clear, compelling narratives and materials for executive leadership, Board meetings, and investors.
• Analyze the effectiveness of existing strategies and continuously refine long‑term plans based on performance and market dynamics.
• Lead and coordinate cross‑functional execution of strategic initiatives from concept through implementation.
• Serve as a central point of ownership for corporate development activities, including strategic partnerships, alliances, and potential M&A.
• Support fundraising and capital planning by anticipating diligence needs, synthesizing data, and articulating the company's strategic story.

• 5-7+ years of experience in corporate strategy, management consulting, corporate development, operations, or senior business leadership roles within technology-driven organizations. More experience would be great but we care more about raw horsepower than years on the job.
• Demonstrated success leading strategic planning and driving execution across complex, cross‑functional initiatives.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, including market analysis, financial modeling, and scenario planning.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to executives, boards and investors.
• Proven ability to influence and align stakeholders without direct authority.
• Experience operating in fast‑paced startup or high‑growth environments with ambiguity and limited structure.
• Background in communications, RF systems, AI, defense, or adjacent technical domains is NOT a requirement but experience handling technical topics is a very strong plus.

At Any Signal, you'll work on high‑impact, technically challenging problems with real‑world consequences - alongside a team that values clarity of thought, ownership, and speed. You'll have a direct hand in shaping the company's long‑term direction at a critical stage of growth.

We offer:

• Competitive salary + equity
• Flexible hybrid work environment
• Comprehensive healthcare benefits
• Direct exposure to executive leadership and the board

If you're excited about shaping strategy from first principles and helping scale a deeply technical company, we'd love to hear from you.
