About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

**Summary of the Role**
M-Files is looking for a high-potential, execution-oriented analyst to serve as a go-to resource within Strategic Operations, supporting key strategic priorities across the company.** **This role is designed for an early-career professional who thrives in a fast-moving environment and enjoys turning ambiguity into action. You will help translate ideas, questions, threads, and leadership discussions into a structured, organized program—with clear workstreams, owners, meeting cadence, KPIs, baselines, impact estimates, and crisp executive-ready communication.** **The Strategic Operations Analyst position requires strong judgment, high reliability, and a bias for action—someone who prides themselves on driving execution every day, not just producing analysis.
**Key Responsibilities**
**Turn ambiguity into a structured program that moves**
- Translate strategic priorities into clear workstreams, owners, timelines, and deliverables—then drive follow-through to completion.
- Build and maintain lightweight program structure: operating plans, workback schedules, decision logs, action trackers, and weekly priorities.
- Proactively identify gaps, risks, and dependencies—and push them toward resolution with the right stakeholders.
**Run the operating cadence (calendar, meetings, coordination)**
- Own the execution rhythm: scheduling, agendas, pre-reads, notes, action items, owners, and deadlines.
- Ensure meetings are decision-oriented and outcome-driven with explicit owners and deadlines.
- Maintain alignment between what leadership believes is happening and what is actually happening across teams.
**Analytics, KPIs, baselines, impact estimates**
- Build and maintain KPI definitions and baseline measurement approaches so progress can be quantified credibly.
- Perform hands-on analysis in Excel: data cleanup, modeling, scenario analysis, impact estimation, and performance tracking.
- Create simple measurement systems that make progress visible and highlight where execution is slipping.
**Reporting and dashboards (to drive action, not bureaucracy)**
- Provide consistent operational visibility: what shipped, what progressed, what’s blocked, what needs escalation.
- Create and maintain dashboards and reporting outputs (Excel / PowerPoint, and BI tools where applicable) that enable fast decision-making.
- Use reporting as a tool to drive action and accountability, not as the end product.
**Executive-ready communication (PowerPoint and structured writing)**
- Create high-quality, executive-ready PowerPoint decks: updates, operating reviews, decision memos, and strategic readouts.
- Write clear, concise summaries that synthesize complex inputs into “what matters / what changed / what we need to do next.”
- Support leadership preparation for key meetings and reviews with briefs, agendas, objectives, and next steps.
**Outcomes to be achieved (what success looks like)**
- Key strategic priorities consistently move from idea → plan → execution → measurable outcomes.
- Cross-functional teams are aligned, blockers are escalated early, and commitments are delivered reliably.
- The operating cadence is disciplined: clear priorities, clear owners, clear next steps, and consistent follow-through.
- Leadership has dependable visibility into progress and performance because execution is well-run week over week.
