• Coordinate and track strategic initiatives by helping the CEO office maintain visibility across active priorities, track progress, flag blockers, and ensure work-streams have clear owners and next steps.
• Prepare leadership for meetings and decisions by researching and preparing briefing materials, pre-reads, slide decks, and talking points for internal meetings, partner conversations, and external engagements.
• Run ad hoc analysis to provide quick answers on financial, operational, or strategic questions.
• Help track company performance and support visibility into OKRs, KPIs, and strategic goals across functions.
• Evaluate tools and solutions by researching and assessing new AI tools, software, or vendors being considered by the business.
• Document and standardise processes by creating clear SOPs and internal playbooks, especially for AI and automation workflows.
• Support internal communications by preparing materials for All Hands meetings, leadership reviews, and company updates.

• Study or background in business, economics, finance, computer science, or a related field, or demonstrated ability to work across these domains.
• Intellectual curiosity and comfort moving between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
• Clear communication skills in writing, slides, and conversation.
