About the Role

In this role, you will:

• Own and drive high-priority initiatives end-to-end across any function. Scope deliverables, set milestones, manage dependencies across teams, and hold stakeholders accountable to timelines and quality standards.
• Structure ambiguous problems into clear analyses and action plans. Build the model, frame the trade-offs, and deliver recommendations.
• Help design and run the company's operating cadences — reporting cycles, planning processes, review rhythms. Identify where process is missing or breaking and stand up lightweight systems before problems compound.
• Act as the connective tissue between the CEO, functional leads, and execution teams, ensuring outcomes are measurable and repeatable.
• Maintain shared sources of truth — partner with functional owners to investigate discrepancies, validate data definitions, and build playbooks and institutional documentation that reduce key-person risk.

What Success Looks Like

In your first 6 months, you will:

• Own 2–3 cross-functional initiatives from scoping through delivery
• Build or improve at least one recurring operational cadence (planning cycle, metrics reporting, or review process) that the team adopts and relies on
• Deliver an analysis that directly informs a major strategic decision
• Earn trust as the person leadership turns to when something important needs to get done well and fast

Key outcomes you'll be measured on:

• Execution velocity and quality — initiatives move to completion on time, with analytically rigorous outputs that leadership acts on without heavy rework
• Operational scalability — the cadences, documentation, and systems you build help the company reach alignment faster

About You

• 5–7+ years in business operations, finance, or management consulting, with at least 2 years in a cross-functional ops or chief-of-staff-type role at a high-growth company preferred
• Experience in a hyper-growth environment — you've operated where structure was being built, not inherited
• Analytically rigorous — you are a first-principles thinker, you build models, trackers, and analyses from scratch, not just operate within existing frameworks. Advanced spreadsheets minimum; SQL or BI tools a plus
• Effective cross-functional operator — you will be doing the work and driving execution across teams you don't directly manage
