We’re building a world-class team to support one of the most visionary CTOs in the industry, and we’re looking for a seasoned Business Operations Professional to help lead the charge. In this high-impact role, they’ll partner directly with the Chief of Staff and Business Operations lead to drive strategic execution, operational excellence, and transformation across an AI-native enterprise. They’ll operate at the center of innovation, enabling breakthrough technologies and cognitive operating models.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Planning & Execution: Manage operational rhythms, OKRs, executive planning and offsites, strategic initiatives and performance excellence across the CTO organization.

Additional Responsibilities:

• Absorb and run complex operational workstreams on behalf of the Chief of Staff, creating the bandwidth for them to stay focused on executive-level strategy, stakeholder management, and CTO facing priorities.

• Scale the Chief of Staff function by taking ownership of recurring, high-volume operational processes, such as cross-functional coordination (e.g media/comms/real estate) to ensure predictability and consistency.

• Act as the operational integrator, translating strategic direction from the CoS into executable workflows, managing interdependencies, and removing blockers before they require senior escalation.

• Drive disciplined operational execution across CTO pillars, overseeing delivery plans so that the CoS can focus on higher-order decision-making rather than operational follow-through.

• Provide a reliable second line of leadership, stepping into meetings, reviews, and decision forums on behalf of the CoS to maintain momentum and continuity across operational work at scale.

Basic Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in business administration, operations management, or a related field
