Team Activities & Culture: Arrange team events, offsites, travel, and onboarding logistics that keep a distributed, fast-paced team connected and effective.
Cross-Functional Programs: Drive special projects for the CEO end-to-end — from partner engagements and proposal deadlines to hiring pushes and process improvements — with clear owners, timelines, and outcomes.
Reporting & Metrics: Maintain visibility into pipeline, delivery, and program status; produce concise status reports and dashboards for the CEO and leadership.
