This is a high-leverage IC role, not a team-building role. You use AI, automation, and sharp judgment to scale yourself , not headcount. You're the person the CEO turns to when something is complex, cross-functional, and needs a single owner.

Responsibilities:

• Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and exec team , elevate insights, prep leadership for key decisions, and when needed serve as a stand-in
• Proactively resolve problems before they reach the CEO , you see around corners and close gaps
• Coordinate the CEOs network to accelerate go-to-market including in international markets like MENA where there is existing regional expertise and existing strong relationships
• DRI decisions that span Product, Eng, Finance, and GTM , surface risks and disagreements early, drive alignment where org structure creates friction
• Develop integrated views of product economics, market dynamics, and business performance that no single function owns
• Use AI, automation, and agent workflows to scale your impact: analysis synthesis, scenario modeling, status aggregation, operational monitoring
• Support the CEO's most important cross-functional initiatives , competitive positioning, pricing strategy, product economics, strategic planning , from scoping through decision

What This Role Is Not:

Growth experimentation, quarterly reporting, analytics, revenue or financial reporting, or dashboards. Those belong to Data, RevOps, Growth Marketing, Strategic Finance, etc. This is also not the start of a team , it's a single high-leverage IC designed to scale through AI, not hiring.

What We Look For:

• 7+ years in strategy, operations, or an analytical hybrid role at a high-growth tech company, with real time working alongside Product and Engineering
• You build structure where none exists and drive decisions without formal authority
• Credible across domains: Eng trusts your technical judgment, Finance and GTM trust your business rigor
• Strong quantitative chops , economic models, data interrogation, signal vs. noise
• Clear, direct communicator , executive-ready recommendations, not decks full of caveats
• Thrives independently in ambiguity , high-impact IC, not a management track
• Familiarity with technology ecosystems or business networks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), or experience supporting international market expansion and strategic partnerships.

Nice to Haves:

• Hands-on experience with AI tools, agents, or automation to increase analytical and operational velocity , we'd love to hear specifics
• Background in developer tools, infrastructure, or AI/ML product companies
• Track record influencing executive decisions at $50M+ ARR companies
• Values clarity and momentum over process for process's sake

How We'll Know It's Working:

• Cross-functional decisions happen faster and better , with clear, attributable impact
• Stakeholders seek you out , your involvement signals quality, not overhead
• Leadership has integrated visibility into business health and acts on it
