Founding Strategist - Reinventing How Strategy Happens (Equity Only)

You know the drill. Months of analysis. Beautiful PowerPoint decks. Executive presentations that get polite nods. Then... nothing changes.

You've probably sat in strategy rooms where teams spend more time debating slide formatting than actual strategic decisions. Where executives check phones during the "big reveal." Where brilliant insights die in implementation because nobody felt ownership of what the consultants recommended.

We're fixing this.

At Terrafic, we're building AI engines that compress months into minutes. We advance organizations to adapt and operate at AI speed, transforming traditional workflows from weeks of manual work to minutes of AI-driven insights. Focusing on Cognitive Acceleration, Decision Velocity, Insights Democratization, and Continuous Strategy, Terrafic is making expert-level analysis and real-time adaptation a reality for teams and enterprises.

This isn't about building a better consulting firm. We're rethinking how strategic decisions happen entirely.

The prototype works.

Founding Strategist

This role will design how strategy actually happens in an AI-accelerated world.

You've done the real work:

• Strategy cases at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or top-tier boutiques
• You know what good strategic thinking looks like under pressure
• You've seen million-dollar recommendations get shelved
• You understand why brilliant analysis often leads to zero action

You think differently:

• You question whether 14-week engagements are actually necessary
• You've wondered why strategy can't be more engaging and collaborative
• You see the gap between "consultant-led" and "leadership-owned" strategy
• You believe there's a better way

• Real strategy experience

  - not just frameworks, but actual client work

• Facilitation skills

  - getting executives to make decisions together

• Business model thinking

  - understanding how strategy actually creates value

• Intellectual curiosity

  - questioning how things "should" work

• Communication

  - particularly when operating remotely

• Problem solving

  - finding ways through when there's no playbook

• Equity stake

  in a company disrupting a massive market

• Direct impact

  on how strategy gets reimagined

• Freedom to build

  methodology without consulting firm bureaucracy

• Chance to solve

  the problems you've experienced firsthand

This post is a conversation starter.

We want to start talking to folks who have experienced both the power and the frustration of traditional strategy work. People who've seen what's possible when strategic thinking is at its best, and who've felt the pain when brilliant work goes nowhere.

The intent is to put together a critical mass of such people and build a great foundation for an ambitious journey.

If you've ever thought "there has to be a better way to do this" during a strategy engagement - we want to hear from you.
