Strategy Associate Jobs in Paterson, NJ (NOW HIRING)

TheGuarantors is a fintech company helping multifamily owners and operators mitigate leasing risk while expanding access for renters. With a deep understanding of owner, operator, and renter needs, we believe renters deserve better access to the home of their choice and operators deserve greater protection and growth opportunities. That’s why we’re leveraging our real estate expertise and using AI-driven renter underwriting to help operators qualify renters faster while mitigating the financial risk of renter default. With $7B+ in lease value protected, we work with 9 of the country’s top 10 operators, are the #1 lease guarantee provider nationwide, and have consistently been named one of Inc. 5000’s fastest-growing companies, one of Forbes’ Best Startup Employers, and one of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500.

The Commercial Strategy & Revenue Operations team exists to solve some of TheGuarantors' highest-priority commercial challenges. We identify opportunities to grow the business, develop strategies to capture them, and work across the organization to turn those strategies into measurable results.

Our work spans every part of the commercial organization. We partner closely with Sales, Product, Risk, Marketing, Finance, and Operations to improve how we serve customers, launch new initiatives, strengthen our go-to-market strategy, and build the capabilities that enable the business to scale. Because our work cuts across functions, success depends on building trusted partnerships, influencing without formal authority, and aligning teams around a common goal.

We aren't an internal consulting team. We own initiatives from strategy through execution and are accountable for the impact they create. The people who thrive here are comfortable with ambiguity, motivated by ownership, and excited to solve difficult business problems.

As a Commercial Strategy Associate focused on AM (Account Management) Strategy, you'll help shape how TheGuarantors grows its existing customer relationships and how our Account Management organization serves them.

Our customer base represents a significant source of future growth, but capturing that opportunity requires making thoughtful choices about where we invest, how we segment and serve different customers, and how we identify and pursue opportunities for deeper engagement. You'll develop the strategies and operating approaches that help our Account Managers focus on the highest-impact opportunities and turn strong customer relationships into sustained commercial growth.

This role is designed for someone who wants to move beyond analysis and become an operator. You'll work directly with Account Managers and AM leadership, analyze customer and portfolio performance, and own initiatives from strategy through execution. Over time, you'll also develop firsthand relationships with customers—joining important client discussions and business reviews to better understand their priorities and translate those insights into better commercial strategies.

Your success will ultimately be measured by whether the strategies and initiatives you help build make our Account Management organization more effective and create better outcomes for our customers and TheGuarantors.
