Job description

We are looking for an exceptional project leader to partner closely with the global CEO Forum and act as a subject-matter and delivery expert. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that sits at the center of strategy, operations, and execution. You will act as a force multiplier for the CEO—driving priorities, improving organizational effectiveness, and ensuring the company moves with speed and clarity.

This is not a traditional administrative role. You will own critical initiatives, solve complex cross-functional problems, and help shape the company’s trajectory as we scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a strategic thought partner and trusted advisor to the CEO on company priorities, decision-making, and long-term planning.
• Drive execution of the CEO’s and leadership team’s top priorities—tracking progress, removing blockers, and ensuring accountability.
• Own and manage the CEO’s operating rhythm: leadership meetings, board materials, all-hands, strategic offsites, and key external engagements.
• Lead special projects and cross-functional initiatives that span product, growth, operations, people, and fundraising.
• Improve organizational processes, communication, and decision velocity across the company.
• Prepare briefing materials, presentations, and analysis to support high-stakes decisions and external meetings (investors, partners, board).
• Act as a liaison between the CEO and internal teams as well as external stakeholders, ensuring clear and timely information flow.
• Identify operational gaps and opportunities; design and implement scalable systems and cadences as the company grows.
• Support talent-related initiatives, including leadership hiring, onboarding of key roles, and culture-building efforts when needed.
• Maintain confidentiality and exercise strong judgment on sensitive company matters.

Qualifications

Required

• 5-10 years of experience in high-growth startups, strategy/operations roles, management consulting, or as a Founder’s Associate / BizOps lead.
• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and drive results without heavy structure.
• Exceptional structured thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills (written and verbal).
• Strong project management and organizational skills; proven ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously.
• High emotional intelligence, discretion, and executive presence.
• Comfortable with data analysis and turning insights into clear recommendations (advanced Excel/Google Sheets and slide skills required).
• Experience preparing board materials, investor updates, or strategic presentations is a strong plus.
• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree (MBA or equivalent) preferred but not mandatory.
