About the role

What You'll Do

  • Serve as the CEO's Thought Partner: Act as a sounding board across all topics related to the company and support the CEO in executing priority tactical and strategic work.
  • Drive Strategic Projects End-to-End: Spearhead specific strategic projects in high-priority business areas: scoping, setting goals and success metrics, and reporting on outcomes.
  • Hold Executive Accountability: Drive senior executives to ensure execution on the most immediate and critical priorities and keep a consistent accountability loop on leadership action items.
  • Act as a Force Multiplier: Collaborate across functions to align teams and accelerate progress. This is a cross-functional role; your success is tied closely to the success of the functions you support.
  • Handle Executive-Level Matters: Manage confidential communications, strategic decisions, and executive-level matters with professionalism and empathy.

Who You Are

  • Strategic operator: proven experience in operational strategy development, with a track record of improving efficiency and driving growth.
  • Execution-oriented: proven experience implementing and executing key initiatives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
  • Adaptable: strong problem-solving skills and operational agility; you make good decisions quickly when the path is not fully defined.
  • Analytical: we are a data-driven company. You are very comfortable in Excel and other data tools.
  • Clear communicator: we communicate heavily via writing. You are a concise writer who can bring your audience along through your thought process and analysis.
