• Secondaries

Your Mission

Stronghold is growing, and we're searching for a talented GIS Manager to lead and expand our geospatial capabilities. In this role, you'll own the strategy, standards, and execution of GIS operations across a fast-moving, multi-disciplinary team — while remaining a hands-on contributor yourself.

You thrive in an entrepreneurial environment, can balance big-picture thinking with detail-level quality, and are energized by building something that matters from the ground up.

• GIS Function Leadership: Build, lead, and develop a high-performing GIS team, establishing workflows, quality standards, and capacity planning to support Land, Engineering, and Geological teams across multiple U.S. basins.
• Hands-On Geospatial Delivery: Remain an active contributor — producing and QC'ing maps, conducting spatial analysis, and stepping in on complex or high-priority deliverables alongside your team.
• Analytical Oversight: Direct and perform analysis of horizontal wellbores and drilling units to determine participation using acreage allocation and lateral length allocation methods.
• Standards and Governance: Own coordinate system standards, spatial accuracy protocols, QC processes, and documentation — ensuring consistency and reliability across all geospatial outputs.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with and communicate across multiple disciplines including Land, Engineering, and Geology to troubleshoot issues, remove blockers, and drive operational efficiency.
• Regulatory Intelligence: Research, interpret, and apply state-specific oil and gas regulations, spacing rules, and unitization requirements — and ensure your team is equipped to do the same.
• Data Integrity: Oversee the maintenance and ongoing accuracy of the land grid, ensuring discrepancies are identified and resolved systematically.

Qualifications – What You Bring

• A Bachelor's degree in Geography, GIS, or a related discipline.
• 5–8+ years of GIS experience
• Deep proficiency with the ArcGIS suite and related products.
• A hands-on approach — comfortable setting direction at the team level and diving deep into the technical details when the work demands it. 
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical geospatial concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications – What Sets You Apart

• Previous experience supporting Land teams in the upstream Oil and Gas sector is strongly preferred.
• 2+ years in a lead or supervisory role.
• Familiarity with property legal terminology, including Deed plot and the Public Land Survey System (PLSS).
• Experience building or scaling a GIS function — not just contributing to one.
• A player-coach mentality: you lead by doing, not just directing.

Why Stronghold

At Stronghold, we strive to create a workplace that is not only rewarding but also satisfying. We believe our employees are the driving force behind our success, and we are committed to providing them with an environment where they can thrive and reach their full potential.

Product Manager

$120k – $200k • 0.0% – 0.4%

We’re building Reflow, a workforce and workflow intelligence platform that helps teams understand and improve how work gets done. We’re at a stage where product decisions, execution, and delivery are inseparable — which means this role owns what we build, why we build it, and how it actually ships.

We’re looking for a founding Product Manager who can operate end-to-end: product strategy, prioritization, execution, and delivery. This is a hands-on role for someone who has built in very early-stage environments and thrives without guardrails.

What you’ll do

Own product direction and outcomes:

• Own product direction, roadmap, and prioritization — making tradeoffs across customer value, speed, and technical constraints.
• Turn ambiguous goals into clear problems, scopes, and shipped solutions.
• Be accountable for outcomes, not artifacts.

Run product execution and operations:

• Drive planning, sequencing, and timelines with engineering.
• Manage dependencies, unblock progress, and keep delivery on track.
• Own release planning, testing, rollouts, and post-launch learning.

Be deeply hands-on:

• Write product specs, workflows, and acceptance criteria.
• Review builds, test flows, and iterate with engineers in real time.
• Make fast calls when things are unclear or breaking.

Stay close to customers and partners:

• Talk to customers constantly: discovery, validation, onboarding, and support.
• Translate feedback into priorities and concrete product changes.
• Support partner setup, onboarding, and early integrations when needed.

Build early product systems:

• Establish how roadmap, prioritization, and execution work.
• Create lightweight processes that increase speed, not bureaucracy.
• Document decisions and patterns so the product can scale.

Who you are

• 5+ years of product management experience, with at least part of that in a very early-stage startup.
• Former founder, founding PM, or first/early product hire is strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to ship real products in ambiguous, resource-constrained environments.
• Comfortable owning execution details, not delegating them away.
• Strong technical and product judgment; engineers trust your calls.
• Bias toward action, clarity, and momentum.

Bonus points

• Experience with B2B SaaS, data, analytics, workflow, or platform products.
• Technical background or deep technical fluency.
• Experience owning integrations or partner-facing features.

Why join Reflow

• Founding-level ownership over product and execution.
• Direct access to founders and customers, zero layers.
• Real influence over product direction, roadmap, and delivery.
• Opportunity to grow into Head of Product as the company scales.
• Flexible setup (contract or full-time), high trust, high expectations.

This is a role for someone who wants to build the product, not manage around it — and who’s excited to do so in a true early-stage startup.

At Nova Sky Stories, we're building something that has never existed before—and we want our team members to share in that journey. In addition to competitive compensation, we offer:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company matching
• Flexible PTO and paid sick leave
• Paid parental leave
• Company-paid holidays

About this role:

Nova Sky Stories is seeking an SVP, Business Development to lead the company's global commercial growth strategy and expand our presence across theme parks, brand activations, cultural events, live entertainment, sports, destination attractions, tourism, festivals, and other large-scale experiential experiences.

This executive leader will be responsible for identifying, developing, and securing transformative business opportunities that accelerate Nova's growth across live entertainment, sports, destination attractions, tourism, media, festivals, branded experiences, and emerging markets. Working closely with the CEO, CFO, and executive leadership team, you'll build strategic relationships with industry leaders, negotiate complex commercial partnerships, and help define how Nova continues to reshape entertainment on a global scale.

Success in this role requires far more than traditional business development. We're looking for someone who understands how the live entertainment ecosystem works—from promoters and venues to agencies, rights holders, sponsors, production partners, and global brands—and who can navigate those relationships to create long-term strategic value.

This leader will balance executive-level relationship building with disciplined commercial execution, partnering across Finance, Operations, Creative, Production, Legal, and Marketing to ensure opportunities become successful, scalable businesses. If you're energized by building markets, opening doors, and bringing world-class entertainment experiences to audiences around the globe, we'd love to meet you.

As a SVP, Business Development, you’ll be responsible for: 

Commercial Growth & Strategic Partnerships

• Develop and execute Nova's global business development strategy, creating new revenue opportunities across theme parks, brand activations, cultural events, live entertainment, sports, destination attractions, tourism, festivals, and emerging experiential markets.
• Build and maintain executive relationships with promoters, venue operators, event organizers, agencies, brands, destination partners, rights holders, and strategic investors.
• Source, negotiate, and close high-value commercial partnerships that expand Nova's global footprint and long-term revenue pipeline.
• Identify opportunities for recurring revenue, licensing, strategic alliances, and new business models that support the company's continued growth.

Market Expansion

• Lead commercial expansion into new geographic markets, developing market entry strategies in partnership with regional leadership.
• Evaluate emerging industries, customer segments, and international opportunities that align with Nova's long-term vision.
• Represent Nova at major industry conferences, trade events, executive meetings, and customer engagements worldwide.
• Build executive relationships with theme park operators, global brands, agencies, promoters, venue owners, tourism organizations, cultural institutions, event organizers, and strategic partners to position Nova as the premier provider of drone entertainment worldwide.

Executive Leadership

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO, CFO, and executive leadership team on commercial strategy, partnership opportunities, and market positioning.
• Lead executive-level negotiations involving enterprise clients, government organizations, strategic partners, and global brands.
• Partner cross-functionally to align commercial strategy with operational capabilities, production capacity, and long-term business objectives.
• Mentor and develop the business development organization as the company continues to scale.

Commercial Execution

• Lead complex commercial opportunities from initial engagement through contract execution and long-term partnership management.
• Establish scalable business development processes, forecasting, pipeline management, and partnership frameworks.
• Develop financial business cases, commercial models, and strategic recommendations supporting investment and growth decisions.
• Monitor industry trends, competitive activity, and evolving customer needs to ensure Nova remains at the forefront of live entertainment innovation.

You’ll need to have: 

• 12–15+ years of progressive leadership experience in business development, strategic partnerships, commercial leadership, or corporate strategy.
• Proven success developing and closing complex enterprise partnerships that generated measurable business growth.
• Significant experience within live entertainment, theme parks, experiential marketing, brand activations, sports, cultural events, destination attractions, venue management, media, or related industries, with a demonstrated track record of developing strategic commercial partnerships.
• Established network of relationships across the live entertainment ecosystem, including venues, promoters, agencies, brands, production companies, rights holders, or strategic partners.
• Demonstrated success leading commercial negotiations and structuring long-term partnerships with executive stakeholders.
• Strong executive presence with exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams and influencing strategic decisions across a growing organization.
• Willingness to travel globally as business needs require.

It’s a plus if you have:

• MBA or advanced business degree.
• Experience with international market expansion and global commercial partnerships.
• Background in sponsorship, media rights, licensing, or large-scale experiential entertainment.
• Experience working in a founder-led, entrepreneurial, or rapidly scaling organization.
