Strategy & Operations

Rockstar is recruiting for a company building the first national brand in deathcare. These services today are too expensive and too complicated, and the mission is to transform it to truly serve families across the United States in a modern way. Founded from personal experience by experienced entrepreneurs, the company offers transparent pricing and unmatched hospitality, and has secured significant funding to expand.

The company is expanding fast: new markets, new products, and more campaigns running simultaneously than current systems can absorb cleanly. This role exists to build and run the operational layer that makes that scale possible.

The company believes high-agency generalists are how scaling businesses get built. They move between problems and level up.

The company is built with Boulton & Watt, a firm that has started and scaled companies like this before. You'd be joining a business with serious operating depth behind it, and real room to build.

The company is looking for someone who gets energy from taking a chaotic operational problem, building it to run without them, then taking on the next.

With growth, new operational complexity is arriving faster than systems and the team can absorb it. You can jump right in: pick up a hard problem, understand it deeply, build the system around it, and hand it off. Then you move to the next one.

You'll work directly with the leadership team, with real operating authority.

• Within 30 days, own at least one operational domain end-to-end - starting with the go-to-market infrastructure that underpins market expansion. Understand it in detail, not at the summary level.
• Within six months, build the system around it: metrics, process, tooling, and documentation. Everything the team needs to run it without you.
• Hand it off in 6-12 months. Move to the next problem - launching new offerings, turning messiness into a system, vertically integrating key functions, and continuing to repeat the process.
• Drive a measurable, visible improvement in at least one core business metric within a few months. Not an analysis that could drive it - actually move the number.

• Generalist. A career that combines a high-intensity analytical foundation (IB, PE, consulting, or founding a company) with hands-on operating experience at a VC-backed startup - where you owned something end-to-end, not advised on it.
• From zero, build a thing. You can take a chaotic problem from zero: figure out what's actually going on, build the structure around it, and leave it running without you.
• Hands-on. Not a role to create analysis decks, but getting into the details because tactics and strategy are actually the same thing. You get joy from building a real thing.
• Commercial. You think naturally in unit economics, margin, and growth. You don't need to be asked to connect operational decisions to business outcomes.
• Brings the team along. You build with the people who'll run it, not around them. The systems you leave behind make the team stronger, not just the output shinier.

• A mission you can feel. Above all, the company is here to support families through one of life's hardest moments. If that speaks to you, speak to us.
• 1to10 inflection point: product-market fit is real, markets are expanding, and the problems are genuinely hard. This role is for someone who wants real operating authority, an endless supply of hard problems to solve, and a path toward GM-level ownership.
• Repeat founders, adults. The Boulton & Watt embed means unusually high access and leverage - and a firm that has built this kind of company before.
• Competitive salary and equity, and generous health, dental, and vision coverage.

• Range: $125,000–$175,000 base, plus equity
