About the role

  • Own end-to-end execution of CEO/CFO-sponsored growth initiatives and special projects with defined deliverables, driving cross-functional task forces to hard decisions rather than just alignment.
  • Own Competitive Intelligence and Corporate Strategy, tracking competitor moves across cloud infrastructure, AI/Agentic, NeoClouds, and developer platforms to publish quarterly briefings for the C-Suite.
  • Inform 'Build, Partner, or Buy' decisions by contributing market intelligence for growth vectors like database, security, and AI inference.
  • Optimize Business Operations by supporting the ELT quarterly business review process, ensuring operating performance connects to strategic priorities with clear metrics and accountability.

Requirements

  • The ability to translate ambiguous, open-ended business problems into structured, data-driven analyses.
  • Experience partnering directly with Product, Finance, Cloud Capacity, and GTM leaders to translate strategy into operating plans.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex industry trends (AI/ML, developer tools) into executive-level insights.
  • A 'builder' mentality: you are comfortable owning the recommendation and the execution plan, not just the process.
  • Experience supporting strategic due diligence and financial rationale for corporate development workstreams.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary
  • Reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education
  • Access to LinkedIn Learning's 10,000+ courses
  • Employee Assistance Program
