About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Drive the cadence of ELT meetings, townhalls, offsites, and annual planning — agendas, materials, follow-ups, and action-item tracking.
Advance CEO and company-level priorities to completion through hands-on coordination and follow-up.
Design and own the quarterly business review (QBR) process across the company — standardizing format, cadence, and inputs, and coordinating each function so reviews run consistently and tie back to company goals.
Coordinate materials and logistics for board and board-related meetings.
Partner with the CEO and ELT to translate strategic priorities into actionable plans with clear owners and timelines.
Lead cross-functional strategic programs (e.g., product launches, M&A integration, GTM initiatives) and company projects from kickoff through delivery.
Track progress against company-level goals, working across the business to surface risks, dependencies, and decisions that need executive attention.
Build out an OKR system from the company level down through the functions, and drive adoption across leadership.
Build systems and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into priorities, commitments, and decisions — improving meeting effectiveness and accountability.
Identify and resolve process bottlenecks that slow execution across teams.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Required 5+ years in strategy, business operations, program management, or consulting — ideally at a SaaS or high-growth tech company.
Track record leading cross-functional initiatives with measurable outcomes, not just coordinating them.
Exceptionally detail-oriented — nothing falls through the cracks; catches the gaps in materials and holds every open commitment to closure.
Structured thinker who brings order to ambiguity — breaks broad priorities into clear workstreams with owners and timelines.
High motor and grit — self-directed, resourceful, and relentless on follow-through; owns outcomes end-to-end without needing to be chased.
Strong executive communication and relationship-building — comfortable preparing board-ready materials, advising senior leaders, and working across teams and leadership styles.
Sound judgment with confidential information — knows when to escalate and when to run independently.
Bachelor's degree required.
Comfortable with ambiguity — this role gets defined in part by what you make of it.
Preferred: MBA or equivalent advanced degree.
Experience in regulated, scientific, or vertical SaaS — a fit for STARLIMS's customer base.
Fluent with modern productivity, data-analysis, and AI tools, with good judgment about accuracy and responsible use of AI-generated content.
