The individual will translate strategy into execution, enforce alignment and focus across the organization, and ensure the company operates with speed, rigor, and accountability.

• Prepare high-quality analyses, materials, and recommendations for executive and board-level decisions
• Act as a proxy for the CEO in key discussions when appropriate
• Track and enforce commitments across the leadership team
• Push for clarity where there is ambiguity and action where there is drift
• Ensure critical initiatives do not stall due to lack of ownership

Qualification

• Minimum 5 years post-undergrad experience
• Must have experience at a top-tier consulting firm working on corporate strategic priorities, project management & analysis (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, BCG), or similar Chief of Staff / Dir Strategy job experience working with an executive team owning projects from ideation through implementation
