About the Role

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will play a key role in turning strategy into action. You’ll partner closely with the CEO, CFO, and executive leadership to tackle the company’s hardest-to-overcome hurdles, ensuring our corporate priorities are well-defined, aligned across teams, and executed with speed and clarity.

You’ll serve as a strategic force multiplier and trusted advisor, operating as a “Swiss army knife” problem solver. This role is for someone who thrives in an environment where ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement are the norm. You’ll challenge the status quo, optimize how we operate, and help leaders navigate complex challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset.

It’s a strategic operating position with direct exposure to executive decision-making, board-level discussions, and company-defining initiatives.

Your Responsibilities

Strategic Initiative Leadership

• Drive execution of the CEO's top-priority initiatives, ensuring clear accountability and measurable impact
• Take ownership of multiple high-stakes projects and deliver business value through the creation, optimization, and maintenance of processes and products
• Identify new growth and revenue opportunities across existing and adjacent markets, building the business cases and leading the resulting initiatives — from new product launches to market expansion and operational transformation programs
• Support the design of new investment products, owning project leadership and execution across internal and external stakeholders

M&A, Business Development & Partnerships

• Support M&A activities from target identification through due diligence, deal execution, and post-merger integration
• Drive business development by identifying, evaluating, and negotiating strategic partnerships and commercial relationships

Operational Excellence, Executive Support & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Develop compelling narratives for internal and external stakeholders, including board materials, investor presentations, and executive communications
• Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and leadership team, elevating insights on operations and strategic opportunities
• Connect the dots across the CEO, CFO, structuring, investment, investment operations, tech, and sales teams — driving alignment and coordination through the conceptualization, design, and launch of new financial products, and streamlining decision-making to solve problems and keep teams moving

Requirements

Experience & Competencies

• 4+ years at a top-tier investment bank, management consulting firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc.), private equity fund, or similar elite institution

Preferred

• MBA or advanced degree; experience working directly with CEO/C-Suite; background in fintech, financial services, private markets, or technology; M&A or business development experience
