About the role

  • The team operates as a small, high-trust group that moves fluidly across strategy, operations, and special projects, often stepping in wherever the business needs the most leverage.
  • This role operates with significant autonomy, sets the approach for high-stakes cross-functional initiatives, and is trusted to represent the Office of the CEO directly with senior stakeholders.
  • This is a high-impact, high-visibility role reporting into the Office of the CEO, with the latitude to shape how the company plans, decides, and executes at the highest level.

Responsibilities

  • Strategic Insights, Decision Support and Analysis:
  • Independently drive research and analysis on complex business trends, competitive dynamics, and market conditions to inform CEO- and board-level decision-making.
  • Serve as a trusted thought partner to senior leaders, shaping strategic narratives rather than simply supporting them.
  • Own end-to-end delivery of the company's highest-priority, most complex initiatives, often spanning multiple departments, external stakeholders, and ambiguous scope.
  • Deliver polished, executive-ready updates directly to the CEO and executive staff, exercising judgment on what to escalate versus own independently.
  • Support the design and execution of the corporate operating rhythm (Company All Hands, Quarterly Business Reviews, E-Staff Meetings), including agenda strategy, executive content development, and follow-through on action items.
  • Demonstrated ability to maintain strict confidentiality and navigate highly sensitive information with integrity and discretion.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy and ambiguity - setting direction, not just executing against it - while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
  • Advanced proficiency in Google Workspace, Microsoft Office Suite, and standard modern business tools.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Management, Engineering, or a related field; MBA a plus.
