Job Level
About the role
- Provide thought partnership to our leaders. You’ll work closely with the CEO and leadership team to drive strategic decisions and contribute to company strategy
- Be a force multiplier. You’ll take on strategic work directly on behalf of the CEO, owning ad-hoc strategic projects that require pulling together resources and perspectives across the organization
- Keep a pulse on the business. You'll meet regularly with teams across the company to surface headwinds, identify inefficiencies, and connect dots that leaders embedded in their functions can't easily see
- Drive strategy and operating rhythm. You'll be a thought partner on company strategy and own the systems that keep the leadership team aligned and moving: quarterly and annual planning, OKR setting, exec team meetings, and board meeting preparation
- Lead cross-functional initiatives. You'll take on strategic projects that don't fit neatly into one function — the kind of work that falls through the cracks without someone owning it with both breadth and urgency.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in a role that sharpened your analytical and operational instincts: top-tier management consulting, venture capital, or business operations at a high-growth technology or biotech company. Experience at or with a technology company, especially in AI, software, or data-driven environments, is a strong plus and reflects the kind of candidate who will thrive here.
- Direct experience working across functions under real pressure: you've shipped something, owned something, or solved something that mattered
- Strong executive communication skills, written and verbal, with demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders
- Bachelor's degree required; MBA or other advanced degree from a top institution is preferred. A PhD or other advanced degree in a STEM field is also welcome.
- Candidates based in the Bay Area are preferred; ability to travel domestically and internationally ~10% of the time.
Benefits
- Inclusive workplace
- Equal Opportunity Employer
