- Act as thought partner to regional EMEA leadership, connecting insights across markets and ensuring alignment with global priorities.
What you'll have
- 3+ years of experience in strategy consulting, investment banking, private equity, or high-growth tech, with a proven track record leading complex, cross-functional programs or market launches.
- Strong analytical capabilities with SQL skills and structured problem-solving ability; comfortable building complex datasets and driving decisions from data independently
- Demonstrated experience scaling zero-to-one initiatives, building processes from scratch, and managing multiple high-stakes workstreams under time pressure.
Bonus points for
- Experience managing multi-market or international expansion programs, with strong governance design skills across OKRs, steering forums, and milestone tracking.
- Exceptional executive communication – able to synthesize complexity into sharp, insight-driven narratives and present confidently to senior regional leadership.
- Proven ability to align cross-functional stakeholders toward shared outcomes in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
- High resilience and ownership mentality – someone who thrives managing parallel workstreams under pressure and has a consistent bias toward action.
