VP of Strategy - Los Angeles - AnySignal

Description

About AnySignal

AnySignal 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, AnySignal 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.

About The Role

We're hiring a VP of Strategy to partner directly with the executive team and board to define, drive, and execute AnySignal'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.

What You'll Be Doing

• 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.

What We're Looking For

• 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 horse power 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.

Why AnySignal

At AnySignal, 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
