Hi A***n, Happy to share a bit more color here. For a Chief Strategy & Growth Officer at G***e, equity typically falls in the neighborhood of 0.8,1.2% of company stock, vesting over four years with a one-year cliff and quarterly vest thereafter. As for in-office days, we generally expect 2,3 days per week on site in Santa Monica to keep cross-functional momentum high, but we’re quite flexible around travel, key off-site meetings, or concentrated work blocks you may need to tackle remotely. Looking forward to diving deeper on Thursday,let me know if anything else comes up in the meantime. Best, J***e

Hi A***n, Glad those details hit the mark. A bit more on your questions: • Refresh Grants & Promotional Pools , We typically award refresh grants annually beginning in year two, tied to both individual performance and company milestones. , We also maintain a promotional equity pool to recognize expanded scope or level changes for executives. • Outside Board/Advisory Roles , We’re generally supportive of execs serving on external boards or advisory committees, provided there’s no direct conflict of interest and your time commitments remain aligned with G***e priorities. Any outside role simply goes through a quick review by our legal and HR teams. We can dive into more specifics,and answer any follow-ups,during our call on Thursday at 3:00 PM PT. In the meantime, feel free to shoot over anything else that comes up. Looking forward to our conversation! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain / G***e B***s
