  • Work closely with the entire leadership team to ensure alignment and drive key initiatives.

    • Performance Monitoring :

  • Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to track progress against strategic objectives, identify trends and opportunities across sales, marketing and financial performance and provide insights to the CEO and leadership team.

    • Financial Performance Oversight :

  • Directly assist with key FP&A analysis to ensure alignment of financial goals with overall business objectives and monitor financial performance, including budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis.
  • Provide insights and recommendations based on financial data to support strategic decision-making.

    • Leadership Support :

  • Provide direct support to the CEO, including preparing for and running key team and cross-functional meetings such as leadership meetings, monthly business reviews, board meetings, and occasional off-sites / on-sites.
  • Prepare compelling presentations and memos, ensuring clear and effective communication across all levels of the company.

    • Requirements

  • 3+ years of work experience in consulting and / or a PE or VC-backed high growth software company
  • Experience with product development (building and launching new products / services), optimizing CRM and related tooling, and digital marketing
  • Passion for education innovation / ed tech
  • Proven ability to adapt to various levels of responsibilities with ability to quickly pivot from executive leadership to tactical partnership and support of different business functions / front line staff
  • Strong management skills with the ability to lead multiple high-priority projects simultaneously across different vertical teams (e.g. experience in consulting or investment banking)
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships and influence at all levels of the organization
  • High level of analytical and problem-solving skills, with a track record of translating strategic conversations into actionable plans
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, and adapt to evolving priorities
