BizOps & Strategy Associate

Hi there! We’re Alma 👋

We’re on a mission to make immigration more accessible, transparent, and human through cutting-edge technology and thoughtful legal support. Alma is backed by top-tier investors like Bling Capital, Village Global, Forerunner, NFX, and Conviction, and founded by a diverse team of Harvard Law, HBS, and UCLA grads with experience at Cooley, McKinsey, EY, and Uber. Our legal team is made up of former Fragomen, Kramer, Ogletree, BAL attorneys and paralegals.

We’re looking for a BizOps & Strategy Associate to join our Founder's Office Team. This is a critical role at the heart of our company, responsible for keeping our finances healthy, operations efficient, and systems scalable as we grow. You’ll work directly with leadership to design and execute processes that help Alma deliver on its mission.

PLEASE note that this is a pre-MBA rotational program designed to give you broad exposure across functions for at least a year, after which you’ll choose a lane and take on greater ownership.

General Operations

• You prefer to work in silos and do not enjoy collaborating across teams

• You see operations as purely tactical and aren’t interested in building for scale

• You are not interested in understanding how the business as a whole operates and succeeds

What it's like to work at Alma

We’re a small, mission-driven team reimagining immigration from the ground up. That means we value thoughtful writing, cross-functional collaboration, and building systems that scale with care. We are low-ego, move fast, work across disciplines, and are always learning from our clients and from each other.

Benefits & Perks

• Hyper-competitive base salary range based on experience

A Quick Note

We know the “perfect” candidate doesn’t exist. If this role excites you but you don’t meet every qualification, we’d still love to hear from you. Immigration is complex. So are people. That’s what makes this work so meaningful.
