Job description

Responsibilities

Strategic Support & Execution

• Operational Cadence: Lead the Office of the GM, managing the rhythm of the business, including executive leadership meetings, quarterly business reviews (QBRs), and annual planning cycles.
• Strategic Initiatives: Lead high-priority, cross-functional initiatives that span departments or lack a clear functional owner. Establish objectives, governance, milestones, accountability, and success measures; resolve dependencies; and drive initiatives through execution to measurable business outcomes.
• Decision Support: Act as a sounding board; provide data-driven insights and "devil’s advocate" perspectives to help the GM and CBU leadership team, make informed decisions.

Strategic Planning & Business Architecture

• The "North Star" Alignment: Partner with the GM to define and refine the 3-year strategic roadmap for the Commercial Business Unit. Ensure that all departments (Sales, Marketing, Ops, Product) have aligned OKRs.
• Financial & Commercial Performance: Partner with Finance and business leaders to monitor P&L performance, revenue and margin drivers, and key business KPIs. Identify emerging risks and opportunities, evaluate business trade-offs, and bring the appropriate stakeholders together to develop and execute corrective actions.
• Annual & Quarterly Planning: Own the end-to-end process for annual budgeting and quarterly goal-setting, ensuring that resources are allocated to the highest-impact commercial opportunities.

Operational Excellence (The "Operating Rhythm")

• Leadership Team Management: Design and lead the weekly SLT (Senior Leadership Team) meetings. You are responsible for the agenda, ensuring it stays focused on strategy rather than just updates.
• Process Automation & Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to streamline business processes, improve reporting, and automate recurring workflows using data, AI-enabled tools, and emerging technologies in partnership with the COO, Data teams, and other stakeholders.
• Action Tracking: Implement a rigorous system for tracking post-meeting commitments. You ensure that when the GM says, "we need to look into this," it actually gets done.
• Process Improvement: Identify bottlenecks in the commercial sales cycle or product development pipeline and lead "tiger teams" to solve them.

Executive Communications & Presence

• Internal Visibility: Act as a sensor for the organization. Gauge employee morale and departmental friction, reporting back to the GM with candid feedback and suggested solutions.
• Executive Ghostwriting: Draft key communications for the GM, including board presentations, all-hands speeches, and external partner correspondence.
• Stakeholder Management: Act as a surrogate for the GM in meetings, ensuring alignment across sales, product, supply chain, and finance teams.
• Culture Carrier: Foster a high-performance culture by ensuring the GM’s vision and values are consistently communicated and felt throughout the organization.
• External Representation: Occasionally represent the GM in meetings with key global accounts, vendors, or industry partners (e.g., IHRSA/FIBO planning).
• KPI Tracking: Monitor the pulse of the Commercial BU, identifying risks to performance before they become critical issues.
• Meeting Efficiency: Ensure all executive meetings have clear agendas, the right stakeholders, and documented action items with rigorous follow-up.

Qualifications

• 7–10+ years of progressive experience in corporate strategy, business operations, strategic planning, management consulting, or a comparable high-growth business environment.
• Demonstrated experience operating at the executive level and leading complex, cross-functional initiatives from strategy through execution, with measurable business outcomes.
• Strong commercial and financial acumen, including the ability to interpret P&L performance, understand revenue and margin drivers, assess business trade-offs, and translate financial and operational data into actionable recommendations.
• Experience establishing operating rhythms, strategic planning processes, performance reporting, or accountability mechanisms that improve organizational alignment and execution.
• Exceptional executive communication and presentation skills, including the ability to represent senior leadership, articulate a clear point of view, influence stakeholders, and communicate complex topics concisely.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity, build structure where processes or ownership are not established, and drive progress without direct organizational authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience directly supporting a President, General Manager, or executive leadership team.
• Experience in a B2B, commercial, manufacturing, technology, consumer products, or similarly complex cross-functional business environment.
• Experience with business transformation, organizational integration, international expansion, or enterprise-wide strategic initiatives.
• Experience improving business efficiency through analytics, reporting automation, AI-enabled tools, or workflow redesign.
• Enterprise Versatility: Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar business areas, navigate ambiguity, and add value across functions without requiring extensive direction.
• Influence Without Authority: Ability to align senior leaders and cross-functional teams, drive accountability, and move initiatives forward without direct organizational authority.
• Operator Mindset: Comfortable moving from strategy to execution, creating structure where processes or ownership do not yet exist, and driving measurable outcomes.
