• Support execution of cross-functional projects that improve organizational effectiveness and team alignment.
• Partner with Finance and other functions to support planning, tracking, and coordination of business activities.
• Improve internal communication by ensuring updates, decisions, and priorities are clearly documented and shared.
• Help introduce tools, workflows, or lightweight automation that improve efficiency and reduce manual work.

• Sound judgment and discretion when working with sensitive or confidential information.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in SaaS, media, or technology organizations.
• Exposure to operational planning, project management, or business operations.
• Familiarity with tools such as Google Workspace, Slack, Jira/Asana, or similar platforms.
• Interest in workflow optimization, automation, or AI-enabled productivity tools.
