• Streamline operational processes within the technology org, identifying areas for improvement and implementing best practices.
• Coordinate with other departments to ensure seamless cross-functional collaboration and alignment.
• Manage resource allocation, including personnel, budget, and equipment, to maximize productivity and optimize resource utilization.
• Partner with Finance to support budgeting, audit compliance and resource planning.




• Communication and Stakeholder Management:
• Serve as a trusted advisor to the CTO, providing insights, preparing briefings, and facilitating effective communication with internal and external stakeholders.
• Own the preparation, facilitation, and follow-up for key meetings, including CTO staff meetings, cross-functional syncs, roadmap reviews, and all-hands. Keep the trains running.
• Act as a liaison between the CTO and various teams, fostering strong relationships and ensuring clear communication channels.
• Craft and coordinate communications on behalf of the CTO, including presentations, executive updates, and org-wide messages.
• Plan and execute on-site events and offsites for the technology org and the company — including agenda design, logistics, and follow-up actions.
• Represent the CTO in meetings, conferences, and other events, as required.




• Strategic Initiatives and Special Projects:
• Lead and support strategic initiatives as directed by the CTO, such as exploring new technologies, partnerships, or expansion opportunities.
• Conduct research, prepare business cases, and provide recommendations to drive innovation and growth.
