Qualifications

• 2-3 years of experience at a top-tier management consulting firm with a track record of exceptional performance.
• Bachelor's degree from a leading institution
• Experience creating executive-level presentations and communications
• Excellent data visualization and storytelling capabilities
• Adaptability and comfort operating in ambiguity
• Intellectual curiosity and passion for emerging technologies
• Direct experience in hardware, deep tech, or quantum industries is not required but would be advantageous

Responsibilities

• Structure and lead complex, cross-functional projects from conception to completion, ensuring alignment across engineering, product, and business teams to achieve strategic objectives.
• Develop compelling presentations, investment memos, and other materials for the Board of Directors, investors, and strategic partners to communicate company strategy, progress, and key decisions.
• Serve as a primary liaison to US headquarters in a chief-of-staff capacity, keeping leadership aligned on priorities, decisions, and follow-through across locations.
• Coordinate executive schedules, meeting cadences, and travel across time zones, ensuring leadership time is focused on the highest-impact priorities.
• Proactively identify and resolve cross-time-zone issues, acting as a point of escalation and continuity so work keeps moving outside US business hours.
• Prepare briefing materials ahead of key meetings, track action items and commitments, and drive accountability on decisions made by the leadership team.
• Corporate & Partnership Strategy: Identify, evaluate, and execute strategic partnerships with industry leaders, research institutions, and key customers to accelerate growth and market adoption.
• Develop financial models and business cases to support strategic decisions, including partnerships, M&A opportunities, and new market entry.
• Lead due diligence efforts and support negotiations for high-priority commercial agreements and corporate development activities.
• Market Intelligence & Strategic Planning: Conduct in-depth market analysis and competitive intelligence to identify emerging trends, threats, and opportunities, providing actionable insights to the leadership team.
• Partner with the leadership team to define the company's long-term strategic roadmap, aligning product development, commercial goals, and operational capabilities.
• Operational Excellence & Scalability: Design and implement scalable internal processes (e.g., OKR tracking, cross-functional sprints, knowledge management) that reduce friction and increase velocity as the team grows.
• Identify bottlenecks in the lab-to-market value chain, collaborating with technical leads to streamline procurement, supply chain, or rapid prototyping workflows.
• Manage critical 'special projects' that fall outside the scope of traditional departments, such as office relocations, ERP implementations, or regulatory compliance audits.
• Commercialization & Go-to-Market (GTM) Execution: Support the launch of early pilot programs by coordinating delivery timelines, managing customer expectations, and establishing feedback loops between the customer and the engineering team.
• Develop and refine pricing models and unit economics analysis for novel technologies, transitioning from theoretical models to actual market-tested commercial frameworks.
• Create sales enablement materials that translate complex technical specifications into clear value propositions for non-technical stakeholders and early adopters.
