As a trusted advisor to the CEO, you’ll provide balanced insights, maintain a high level of trust and objectivity, and foster strong relationships across the organization.

Role Responsibilities 

  • Facilitate the decisions on annual thematic goals, quarterly OKRs, and work closely with program owners to update CTeam on progress and/or blockers

  • Prepare detailed briefs for the CTeam on emerging issues and key meetings, rapidly absorbing information and providing thoughtful, independent assessments and recommendations
  • Develop and deliver high-quality materials for internal and external presentations, including for board, investor, and executive meetings 
  • Facilitate CTeam and executive meetings and offsites. This requires a close understanding of the highest leverage areas of the business to align on, and setting up the agenda accordingly in close partnership with the CEO

Minimum Qualifications 

  • 5+ years of experience in a strategic, cross-functional business role, ideally within a fast-growing B2B SaaS environment
  • Proven ability to communicate confidently and effectively with stakeholders at all levels, particularly in high-stakes, executive settings
  • Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to independently assess situations and provide clear, unbiased insights
  • Ability to work autonomously and thrive in ambiguous situations, quickly picking up new information and making sound decisions under pressure
  • Familiarity with business metrics and a demonstrated understanding of at least one area of operational metrics

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience partnering closely with executive leaders, providing constructive feedback, and confidently acting as a trusted advisor
  • Highly skilled at prioritization and decision-making in complex, evolving environments; able to bring direction and actionable insights to areas of ambiguity
  • Strong interpersonal and soft skills, with a demonstrated ability to manage and navigate varied personalities while maintaining trust and respect
  • Proven ability to influence across hierarchical levels, ensuring alignment on key goals and initiatives, and fostering accountability across the organization
  • Expertise in translating broad strategic initiatives into clear, actionable plans, driving results in collaboration with cross-functional teams

This role is ideal for a strategic, independent thinker who excels in dynamic environments and has the presence to lead and influence at the highest levels. We’re excited to meet candidates ready to make an immediate impact and bring a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset to our team.
