Project Manager to the CEO
About the role Our CEO carries a portfolio of projects that sit above any single team. Some are core to the business. Others are ventures, partnerships, and long-horizon initiatives that sit outside our product entirely and involve external, institutional, and government counterparts. What they have in common is that no existing function owns them, and today they move only as fast as one very busy person's attention allows. We are hiring one person to own that portfolio. This is not a workstream inside someone else's roadmap, and it is not an administrative role. It is closer to being a small internal consulting team of one, attached directly to the CEO. You will be handed problems that are unscoped, unfamiliar, and often outside your prior domain, and you will be expected to make sense of them, decide what matters, and drive them to a result. What you will do Own the CEO's project portfolio. Take a standing set of initiatives — some familiar, some entirely new territory — and move them forward. Scope them, sequence them, work out who needs to be involved, and keep everyone current on where things stand. Sit in the room and carry the work out. You will be in the CEO's meetings, internal and external. You are expected to capture what was decided, leave with clear owners and dates, and follow through — including assigning action items back to the CEO and holding him to them. Own the calendar completely. Priorities, scheduling, travel, and the coordination that protects the CEO's attention. This is full ownership, not an occasional task, and it sits alongside the project work rather than beneath it. We would rather be direct about that now than surprise you later. Represent the CEO in writing. A large share of this role is written: briefings, summaries, agendas, pre-reads, and correspondence that goes to executives, boards, partners, and external counterparts. It needs to be clear, correct, and appropriate to the audience every time. Prepare material for high-stakes audiences. Decks, briefings, and presentations for leadership, boards, and external and institutional stakeholders — often on short notice, often on subjects you are learning as you build them. Coordinate across regions. We operate across multiple offices and time zones. You will help run leadership cadence across them, which means some early or late overlap most weeks. Travel. Regularly and internationally, sometimes with limited notice. What we are looking for We care more about how you think than how long you have been doing it. Seniority is not the filter here; judgment is. Ability to handle unfamiliar context. You can be dropped into a subject you know nothing about and quickly work out what actually matters, what the real question is, and what to do next. This is the single most important quality for this role. A track record of finishing cross-functional work through people who do not report to you. Strong written English. You c...
