• Represent the CEO: Step in for the CEO at meetings, building key relationships, influencing stakeholders, and making an impact.
• Craft & Present Strategy: Prepare polished presentations, reports, and strategic documents that make complex ideas accessible and actionable.
• Manage the CEO’s schedule and meetings, ensuring seamless coordination, follow-up, and momentum, while also championing company values and organizing engaging team events to maintain a welcoming office culture

Qualifications:

• Advanced Degree: Master’s degree acceptable with scientific training.
• Consulting Expertise: Big 4 or major consulting experience with skills in strategic planning, project management, and cross-functional collaboration.
