MBA Associate | Strategy & Operations at Momentum in Dallas, TX

The Opportunity

This role is designed for a professional completing their final year of their MBA program with no more than 3 years of pre-MBA experience (ideally with a Big 4 consultancy). Successful candidates for this position will be ready to step into a high-impact, high-visibility role working directly alongside senior leadership on the initiatives that define where Momentum is heading.

If you're someone who wants to build, move fast, and take real ownership of consequential work, we think you'll be a great fit. Momentum is in active transformation: redesigning how we operate, deploying AI across our business, and investing in the next generation of companies. You’ll be in the middle of it. You’ll be part of the Momentum corporate team — the internal engine that connects and elevates our portfolio — working alongside senior leaders across finance, legal, people & culture, technology, and corporate development, with reach across PMG, Koddi, and Further.

 

We match each MBA Associate to the area of the business where their background, strengths, and our current needs align. The three areas we’re building into:

• Strategy & Operations — Work at the center of how Momentum thinks and operates. Partner directly with senior leadership to shape and drive the firm's highest-priority initiatives — translating strategy into execution across the portfolio, building the frameworks that guide decision-making, and owning cross-functional workstreams from kickoff through delivery. This is best for someone who can move fluidly between big-picture thinking and getting things done.
• AI Transformation — Join the team leading Momentum’s AI agenda. Tackle a prioritized backlog of automation and process improvement initiatives, design AI-powered workflows, and help the business figure out what’s worth building and what’s worth buying.
• Capital & Ventures — Work alongside Momentum's corporate development team to identify and evaluate the next generation of investment and growth opportunities. You'll map markets, track emerging companies, and engage directly with founders and management teams — building the intelligence and relationships that inform where Momentum invests and grows next.

 

What You’ll Do

Projects will be scoped based on where you land, but the work will draw from:

• Diagnosing complex business problems and translating ambiguity into structured, actionable plans
• Designing and prototyping AI-driven workflows that reduce friction and improve how teams operate
• Building financial models, investment analyses, and transaction materials for active opportunities
• Leading cross-functional initiatives across Momentum’s portfolio companies from kickoff through delivery
• Developing recommendations and presenting findings directly to senior leadership
• Building the playbooks, frameworks, and tools that make the organization smarter and faster

 

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has completed a full-time MBA program within the last year, or will complete by June 2026
• Has 2–3 years of pre-MBA experience in consulting, finance, corporate strategy, or operations — Big 4 or equivalent consulting background preferred
• Solves problems from first principles and moves from insight to action without waiting to be told
• Communicates clearly and concisely, and can make complex ideas land for a senior audience
• Is comfortable with ambiguity and energized by environments where the path isn’t fully defined
• Works well across functions and builds trust quickly with people at all levels
• Is proficient in Excel and PowerPoint; familiarity with project management or data tools is a plus
• Is based in or willing to relocate to Dallas (full-time, 5 days on-site at 2601 Olive Street)
• Hands-on experience building or deploying AI tools, automation platforms, or workflow technology
• Has a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above

Preferred:

• Background in private equity, corporate development, or multi-entity operating companies
• Track record of leading cross-functional projects or change management efforts
