About The Role

• Identify risks early and elevate appropriately to the CTO's office
• Support ad hoc strategic analysis and initiative scoping as directed by the CTO

What You Bring

• Project management experience supporting senior technical leadership is essential
• Strong organisational skills and comfort operating in high-visibility, fast-changing environments
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-level briefing
• Technical fluency sufficient to engage credibly with engineering leadership
• Discretion and judgement handling sensitive, executive-level information
