Key Responsibilities:
Execution & Cross-Functional Delivery
- Operationalize the COOs agenda by driving cross-functional initiatives from planning through execution.
- Provide structure and visibility across key priorities, including timelines, deliverables, and ownership.
- Drive end-to-end execution by clarifying responsibilities, unblocking teams, enforcing deadlines, and escalating when required.
- Maintain momentum across shifting priorities, with high standards for discipline and closure.
Leadership Cadence & Follow-Through
- Run the COO operating rhythm (weekly priorities, meeting preparation, notes, follow-ups).
- Maintain lightweight tracking mechanisms to ensure commitments are documented and delivered.
- Ensure leadership meetings drive alignment, decisions, and execution.
Organizational Alignment & Communication
- Coordinate across departments to ensure teams remain aligned on critical priorities.
- Draft internal communications and leadership updates with clarity and precision.

Special Projects & COO Support
- Own and deliver discrete, time-bound initiatives that improve execution, efficiency, or scale, depending on business needs.
- Serve as a trusted proxy for the COO in meetings or communications where needed.
- Step into urgent issues across the organization, identify root causes, and drive resolution with speed and pragmatism.
People Management & Stakeholder Leadership
- Manage direct reports as required (analysts, coordinators, or project resources).
- Influence senior stakeholders across teams and drive outcomes without relying on hierarchy.
- Maintain strong working relationships while ensuring accountability and delivery.
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of experience in high-velocity operating environments (business operations, strategy, or adjacent roles).
- Demonstrated ability to work closely with senior leadership, combining strategic context with disciplined execution.
- Highly organized and methodical, with strong ownership, sound judgment, and consistent follow-through.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to drive alignment across multiple stakeholders.
- Proptech, fintech, or technology platform experience is a strong advantage.
- Versatile and hands-on, comfortable shifting across priorities and working effectively under ambiguity.
