Asana’s Corporate Strategy team drives clarity and focus in Asana’s long-range growth strategy. As a member of this team, you will provide direct consulting support to our C-suite, handle high-priority work from our CEO, and apply a BizOps lens to build more rigor around how we run the business, including MBRs.

This is a high-visibility role where you will partner with stakeholders across Product, Finance, GTM, and G&A teams to translate vision into executable growth bets.

This role is based in our San Francisco office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner. If you're interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements.
