• Support and drive cross-functional strategic initiatives, ensuring alignment with the CTO’s priorities.
• Proactively identify and manage potential escalations, ensuring appropriate action is taken before reaching executive attention.

• Proficiency with tools like JIRA, Confluence, and common collaboration platforms.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and stakeholder management skills.
• Technical background or experience sufficient to understand architecture discussions and product implications (e.g., former engineer, systems analyst, or equivalent exposure).

• Experience in a multi-product SaaS environment.
• Prior exposure to customer success, support, or service delivery organizations.
• Comfortable working with distributed teams across multiple time zones.
