About the role
- This is an individual contributor role reporting directly to the executive, requiring the consistent exercise of discretion and independent judgment on matters of significance to the business.
Responsibilities
- Own the leadership team's operating cadence - staff meetings, leadership offsites, quarterly business reviews - including agenda-setting, pre-reads, facilitation support, and follow-up on action items.
- Partner with the executive to translate strategic priorities into a clear set of goals and workstreams
- Prepare board-ready and leadership-ready materials - decks, briefing documents, and talking points - that distill complex or ambiguous input into clear, decision-ready narratives.
- Serve as a thought partner to the executive, pressure-testing ideas and providing an independent perspective grounded in data and cross-functional context.
- Drive follow-through on cross-functional initiatives on the executive's behalf, independently assessing progress, holding workstream owners accountable, and making escalation decisions when deadlines are at risk.
- Build rapport across the organization to effectively bridge communication between the executive and others internally and externally, operating with tact and discretion.
- Partner with the executive to translate strategic priorities into a clear set of goals and workstreams; track progress and surface risks or slippage before they become problems.
- Develop and shape executive communications, presentations, and written updates, exercising judgment on messaging, tone, and strategic framing for senior audiences.
- Maintain full awareness of company initiatives and priorities in order to exercise independent authority to act on the executive's behalf in their absence and provide cross-functional leadership support as needed.
