About the role

  • Own and execute on cross-functional high-impact projects that don’t have a natural owner - these may span business development, public policy, people, or operations.
  • Support key people and culture projects as a champion of Wave’s culture and values - this could be designing hiring processes, participating in interviews, identifying gaps across the company and developing playbooks that ensure as Wave scales, all employees deeply understand and live the Wave values.
  • Excel at working with various stakeholders and be a trusted partner to the CEO and the leadership team - you will coordinate closely with local operating teams on specific projects by making sure different departments are aligned, identifying opportunities to accelerate the pace of delivery and escalating decision-making where needed. The majority of our operating markets are francophone, so French is a requirement for this role.
  • Be adaptable and happy to cover a range of projects. While you’ll naturally build a ‘specialist area’ within the CoS role - this could be in data analysis, business development or financial modelling where you’ll independently own work, you’ll also dive into owning other projects based on the priorities of the company - like supporting a department lead on a reorg, project managing a complex operations project or helping to get administrative documents needed for a licensing submission.

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of experience at an international company in a high intensity/performing environment (eg. consulting, growth stage startups)
  • Strong track record in managing projects and/or teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and French.
  • Excel at collaborating cross functionally with different departments - you are known for your interpersonal skills and people
  • Openness and curiosity. We maximise our rate of learning at Wave, and we’re looking for someone with a growth mindset who can be flexible in the face of ambiguity.
  • Bonus points if you:
  • Have experience in business development across Africa
  • Financial modelling or comfort with financial statements
  • SQL or data analysis tools - you like using data to inform decisions
Benefits
  • Subsidised health insurance for you and your dependents and retirement contributions (both vary from country to country)
  • 6 months fully paid parental leave and subsidised fertility assistance
  • Unlimited vacation with a 20-day minimum requirement
  • $10,000 annual charitable donation matching
