Responsibilities

• Run strategic projects with the CEO — frame the problem, drive the analysis, align leaders, and push to execution on topics spanning M&A, market expansion, monetization, and organization.
• Explore and launch new ventures — assess opportunities beyond the current portfolio, build the business case, assemble a founding team, and get v1 to market.
• Manage company routines — own the operating cadence: leadership meetings, business reviews, OKR/goal cycles, board preparation; make sure decisions get made and followed through.
• Drive the SPM team — recruit, staff, and coach a team of internal consultants deployed on the company's most pressing operational problems; own prioritization of their portfolio.
• Be the CEO's proxy — represent him in meetings, unblock cross-functional issues, and surface what he needs to know before it becomes urgent.

• Entrepreneurial: has built something from scratch (venture, business line, market launch).
• Strong analytical and financial fluency — comfortable with a P&L, unit economics, and data.
• Exceptional communication: crisp, top-down, comfortable challenging senior leaders.
• Low ego, absolute discretion, and stamina for a fast pace; obsessive about follow-through.
