About the role
This role exists to provide Strategy & Operations Managers with leverage through structured thinking, rigorous preparation, and reliable follow-through, so leadership decisions translate into action and issues are surfaced early. You will join the CEO Office and work closely with one or more Strategy & Operations Managers. This is an individual contributor role focused on learning the craft of system-level execution while delivering real impact through structure, analysis, and follow-through.
What you'll do
- Support Strategy & Operations Managers in translating strategy into clear priorities, ownership, and execution plans
- Prepare materials for execution and performance cadences (e.g., priority reviews, QBRs), and help ensure forums are well-prepared and productive
- Structure ambiguous problems, synthesise inputs, and draft clear recommendations for senior stakeholders
- Track progress against priorities, surfacing risks, gaps, and dependencies early (before they become escalations)
- Drive follow-ups and ensure decisions translate into action, with clear owners and next steps
- Conduct ad-hoc analyses to inform trade-offs and leadership decisions
- Help document and standardise execution mechanisms over time as the Strategy & Operations Management function scales
- Collaborate with stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, People, and the CEO Office
What you'll need
- Initial experience in business analysis, operations, strategy, consulting, or similar roles
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and can turn messy inputs into clear outputs
- Ability to structure ambiguous problems and communicate clearly (written and verbal)
- High ownership mindset with strong follow-through — you reliably close loops and make progress visible
- Comfortable working cross-functionally without formal authority
- Structured thinker who enjoys simplifying complexity and learns quickly with intellectual curiosity
Nice to have
- Exposure to Product or Engineering environments
- Experience supporting planning, OKRs, or performance/execution cadences
- Familiarity with basic BI tools, dashboards, or SQL
What they offer
- Competitive compensation package and paid leave
- SumUp Sabbatical and Employee Assistance Programme for mental health
- Fitness and language learning offers
- Budget for professional and personal development (e.g., conferences, external trainings)
