• Identify, frame, and prioritize key topics and decisions to ensure meetings are outcome-oriented and aligned with strategic goals.
• Anticipate upcoming decisions and proactively surface risks, tradeoffs, and dependencies.

Business & Operating Cadence Coordination

• Design, maintain, and continuously improve business and operating cadences across product and engineering (e.g., weekly staff meetings, quarterly planning, roadmap reviews, and retrospectives).
• Coordinate inputs, pre-reads, and outputs across teams to ensure consistent, high-quality execution of these cadences.

OKR & Performance Management

• Own executive-level OKR reporting, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and narrative around progress, risks, and mitigation plans.

Execution & Follow-Through

• Capture key decisions and action items from executive and leadership meetings.
• Ensure clear ownership, deadlines, and visibility for all critical action items.
• Track execution and proactively intervene to remove blockers or escalate issues when needed.

Special Projects & Strategic Initiatives

• Lead or support high-priority, cross-functional initiatives on behalf of the executive office.
• Conduct analysis, develop recommendations, and drive execution on strategic projects related to product strategy, engineering execution, or organizational effectiveness.
• Serve as a trusted thought partner to the leadership on organizational design, prioritization, and scaling challenges.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related discipline); advanced degree (MBA or equivalent) is a plus.
• 6+ years of experience in roles such as Chief of Staff, program management, product operations, engineering operations, management consulting, or equivalent.
• Strong familiarity with product and engineering organizations, ideally within cloud infrastructure, AI/ML platforms, or high-growth technology companies.
• Demonstrated experience building and managing operating cadences, executive agendas, and cross-functional coordination.
• Proven ability to track, report, and drive execution against OKRs or similar performance frameworks.
• Exceptional organizational skills with a track record of capturing decisions, managing action items, and ensuring follow-through.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex technical and business topics for executive audiences.
• High degree of discretion, judgment, and professionalism when working with senior leaders and sensitive information.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-paced environments, with a bias toward action and results.
