Operational Excellence

• Identify and address operational bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or risks across internal processes.
• Ensure smooth execution of company-wide initiatives, including go-to-market enablement, org design, and resource planning.
• Own the company’s internal operating rhythm - leadership meetings, business reviews, tracking and cross-team coordination.

Cross-Functional Alignment

• Act as a connective link between all functions to drive clarity and accountability.
• Ensure decisions made at the leadership level are clearly communicated, tracked and delivered.
• Step in to lead special cross-functional projects where operational depth and speed are needed.

C-level Leverage & Internal Communication

• Closely collaborate with leadership on strategic analyses, decision memos, and key internal communications.
• Act as thought partner to manage priorities, follow-ups and strategic initiatives.
• Ensure transparent communication flow across the organisation, translating strategy into operational clarity.

• Efficiency Gains: Streamlined internal processes that reduce friction and increase productivity across departments.
• Operational Cadence: Established a predictable and efficient operating rhythm — geared towards impact.
• Strategic Leverage: The CEO and leadership operate with higher strategic bandwidth thanks to strong internal execution and communication systems.

What we’re looking for:

• 5–10 years of experience in strategy, operations, or finance, ideally within a high-growth SaaS company or top-tier consulting/VC/PE environment.
• Proven track record leading or supporting large cross-functional initiatives in a global organisation.
• Exceptional analytical, communication, and organisational skills.
