About the role

  • Own execution visibility across CRO initiatives — proactively surfacing stalled work, unclear ownership and ensuring CRO leadership has reliable, real-time insight into progress
  • Lead coordination for multiple CRO-level strategic initiatives, keeping deliverables, owners, dependencies, due dates, and status clear and current
  • Drive information architecture across initiatives — establishing shared standards for how work is tracked, communicated, and accessed
  • Drive follow-through from leadership meetings by capturing decisions, action items, and next steps, then tracking completion through to delivery
  • Collaborate with senior stakeholders across Sales, Revenue Strategy and Operations, Ecosystem, Enablement, Finance, and People to keep work moving and priorities aligned
  • Translate executive direction into actionable workstreams, quickly moving from "what" to "who does what by when" with just enough structure to maintain momentum
  • Surface risks early by identifying blockers, unclear ownership, competing priorities, and slippage, and driving resolution or escalating with clear recommendations
  • Maintain momentum through regular check-ins, concise status updates, and stakeholder touchpoints, adjusting plans as priorities shift
  • Own the operating cadence including tracking initiative progress, managing reporting timelines, coordinating submissions, and maintaining administrative hygiene so leadership has consistent, accurate status
  • Hold partners accountable without direct authority by following up diplomatically and persistently, and ensuring commitments do not fall through the cracks
  • Provide clear, audience-aware communication by distilling complex work into executive-ready summaries and execution-level guidance

Requirements

  • Experience coordinating complex, cross-functional strategic initiatives, tracking owners, dependencies, timelines, and deliverables through to completion
  • Ability to drive follow-through from senior stakeholders without direct authority, including documenting decisions, capturing action items, and escalating when needed
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and shifting priorities, translating executive direction into clear workstreams and next steps
  • Strong organizational judgment, including sequencing work, identifying risks early, and applying "just enough" process to maintain momentum
  • Clear, concise communication skills, with the ability to tailor status updates for executives and provide actionable detail for execution teams
  • Familiarity working in or closely with revenue-facing teams (Sales, revenue strategy and operations, go-to-market functions), and understanding how their operating rhythms work
  • Experience building or improving workflow systems — using automation, shared documentation standards, or project management tooling to create visibility
  • Pragmatic use of project management tools to create visibility and accountability, not overhead
  • An accountability mindset and collaborative approach that can come from program management, operations, or other transferable backgrounds that fit the work
