The ideal candidate brings a background in management consulting, corporate strategy, strategic finance, or business operations, along with strong project management capabilities and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments. This person should be equally comfortable driving executive-level strategic planning discussions and rolling up their sleeves to execute against key business priorities.

Projects may include international expansion initiatives, strategic partnerships, operational transformation efforts, organizational scaling, AI-related initiatives, and other ad hoc priorities as the business evolves.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with the Head of Ex-Japan Business to drive execution against strategic priorities and organizational goals
• Lead and manage high-impact, cross-functional projects from planning through execution

• Prepare executive-level presentations, business cases, and strategic recommendations for leadership discussions
• Coordinate across teams including operations, finance, recruiting, HR, commercial, and leadership functions
• Help establish structure, accountability, and operational rigor across rapidly evolving initiatives
• Act as a trusted thought partner on emerging business opportunities and organizational priorities

Qualifications

• 3–7 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, strategic finance, FP&A, business operations, or a similar strategic role
• Strong project management experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives
• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills
• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
• Excellent executive communication and presentation skills
• Strong proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
• Demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders and drive projects forward without direct authority
• Highly proactive, detail-oriented, and execution-focused

Preferred Background

• Experience at a top-tier management consulting firm strongly preferred
• Experience working in high-growth or entrepreneurial environments is a plus
• Exposure to international business operations, transformation initiatives, or strategic partnerships is preferred

What Success Looks Like

• Driving strategic initiatives from concept through execution with minimal oversight
• Bringing clarity, organization, and momentum to complex business priorities
• Serving as a force multiplier for leadership by anticipating needs and proactively solving problems
• Building strong cross-functional relationships and ensuring alignment across teams
• Helping the organization scale effectively through disciplined execution and strategic thinking

This role is ideal for someone looking to gain broad exposure to executive leadership, strategic decision-making, and high-impact business operations within a dynamic and growing organization.
