Beware of Phishing Attempts: We've noticed an increase in phishing where fraudsters impersonate employees and send fake job offers to steal sensitive information. We'll never ask for financial details during the hiring process and only use "@hingehealth.com" emails. If you receive a suspicious offer, stop communication and report it to the US FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. To verify an email from our recruiting team, forward it to security@hingehealth.com.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Join the team that acts as the strategic engine for Hinge Health. In this role, you won't just analyze data; you will shape the future of musculoskeletal care by driving the company’s most critical cross-functional initiatives. You will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and operational execution—transforming abstract ideas into scalable solutions that directly impact our 20+ million members. If you are a strategic operator who thrives on solving complex problems and navigating ambiguity to build the future of healthcare, this is the role for you.
Example project areas include:
- New revenue / product strategies (e.g., business case modeling, market / competitor landscaping)
- Piloting and taking new products to market (e.g., 0 to 1 product developing, scaling new product to full roll-out)
- Business outcome management
- Scaling and transforming operations
What You'll Accomplish
- In your first 3 months: You will dive deep into our business performance metrics and current strategic initiatives. You will build trust with key stakeholders across Product, Commercial, and Clinical teams, and take ownership of a key workstream within an ongoing strategic project (e.g., a new market pilot or operational audit).
- In your first 6 months: You will drive execution on major cross-functional initiatives, such as piloting a new product or scaling a new revenue strategy. You will establish robust dashboards to manage business performance KPIs and proactively identify areas for operational improvement.
- In your first 12 months: You will own the strategy and operational roadmap for a significant business area. You will be a trusted advisor to leadership, delivering data-driven insights that inform our annual planning and long-term strategic direction.
WHO YOU ARE
- A Systems Thinker: You don't just solve immediate problems; you build robust models and frameworks to prevent them from recurring. You can break down complex, ambiguous challenges into logical, actionable parts.
- A "Learn-it-all": You bring a strong analytical mindset to every challenge. Whether it's conducting market research or modeling business cases, you relentlessly seek the truth in data to drive decision-making.
- A Resilient Operator: You thrive in fast-paced environments. You can manage multiple time-sensitive projects simultaneously—from discovery to execution—without losing sight of success criteria or timelines.
- A Change Agent: You know that strategy is nothing without execution. You influence stakeholders effectively to drive change management and ensure alignment across diverse teams.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 4+ years of experience in business strategy and modeling.
- 4+ years of experience managing time-sensitive projects.
- 3+ years of experience in at least one of the following: Consulting, Chief of Staff, Investment Banking, or BizOps.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding OPT Sponsorship in Strategy Business Operations
Target companies with established OPT hiring pipelines
Large technology, consulting, and financial services firms such as Google, McKinsey, and JPMorgan regularly hire OPT students into strategy and operations roles and have HR infrastructure to handle OPT work authorization without friction.
Clarify your STEM OPT eligibility early
Strategy and operations roles often fall under STEM-designated CIP codes if your degree is in business analytics, operations research, or industrial engineering. Confirming STEM eligibility before applying gives you a stronger case with employers evaluating authorization timelines.
Frame your OPT timeline around the role's project cycles
Strategy and operations work is project-based. Showing employers your OPT authorization covers a full planning or fiscal cycle, typically 12 to 24 months, makes it easier for hiring managers to justify the sponsorship conversation with leadership.
Emphasize cross-functional experience in your application
Strategy and operations roles require coordinating across finance, product, and engineering teams. Highlighting specific cross-functional projects from internships or coursework directly addresses what hiring managers assess when evaluating OPT candidates for these positions.
Prepare a concise OPT authorization summary for recruiters
Recruiters in strategy and operations often lack immigration expertise. A one-paragraph summary explaining your current authorization, STEM extension eligibility, and earliest H-1B visa eligibility date removes ambiguity and speeds up internal approval to move you forward.
Use Migrate Mate to identify OPT-friendly employers in strategy roles
Migrate Mate filters jobs by OPT sponsorship willingness, letting you focus applications on strategy and operations employers who have already demonstrated openness to hiring international candidates, which significantly improves your offer conversion rate.
Strategy Business Operations OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Strategy Business Operations roles typically qualify for STEM OPT extension?
It depends on your degree, not the job title. If your degree was in a STEM-designated field such as business analytics, operations research, industrial engineering, or management information systems, you likely qualify for the 24-month STEM extension. The role itself must also involve applying STEM skills directly, which strategy and operations positions generally satisfy given their reliance on data analysis and quantitative modeling.
How do I find Strategy Business Operations jobs that are open to OPT candidates?
Migrate Mate is the most efficient way to find strategy and operations roles from employers who are open to OPT work authorization. Generic job searches require filtering through hundreds of listings where sponsorship openness is unstated. Migrate Mate surfaces roles specifically relevant to F-1 OPT students, saving significant time during a period when your authorization window is limited.
Can I work as a Strategy Business Operations contractor or consultant on OPT?
OPT requires that your work be directly related to your field of study and that you are employed by or contracted through a legitimate employer. Self-employment is allowed on OPT with restrictions, but consulting through a third-party staffing agency for strategy roles is generally permissible. You must log all employment in the SEVP portal and ensure each engagement qualifies as authorized work under your DSO's guidance.
What happens to my OPT status if a strategy operations role is rescinded or ends early?
You have a 90-day unemployment allowance across your entire OPT period. If a strategy or operations role ends unexpectedly, that clock resumes immediately. Report the change to your DSO and update your SEVP portal record promptly. For STEM OPT, the unemployment limit is still 90 days total across the extension period, so securing a new position quickly is critical to maintaining valid status.
Are part-time Strategy Business Operations roles allowed on OPT?
Yes, part-time work of 20 hours or more per week counts as valid OPT employment, including strategy and operations roles. Fewer than 20 hours per week still qualifies but counts toward your 90-day unemployment allowance. During the STEM OPT extension, your employer must enroll in E-Verify regardless of whether the role is part-time or full-time, and the formal training plan requirement applies in both cases.
