- Typically 6–10 years in roles that reward structured thinking and execution – management consulting, strategy or operations, programme or product management, a prior chief-of-staff role, or a fast-paced startup or scale-up.
- Strong problem-solving: you break down ambiguous problems, structure them, and drive to clear, evidence-based recommendations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to tailor complex topics to different audiences.
- Exceptionally organised and reliable, able to run multiple workstreams in parallel without dropping details.
- Technical fluency and curiosity around product, engineering, and research topics, with the ability to build trust and influence without formal authority.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to clinical trials, life sciences, or regulated software environments.
- Experience supporting a senior executive or leadership team.
- Familiarity with OKRs, roadmapping, and modern product and engineering operating models.
- Support the CPTO in setting and refreshing the product, engineering, and research strategy, translating high-level direction into clear goals, OKRs, and priorities.
- Prepare materials and analysis for board updates, leadership offsites, and quarterly planning, framing key decisions and trade-offs cleanly.
- Own the operating rhythm of the organisation – leadership meetings, staff meetings, and reviews – including agendas, pre-reads, decisions, and follow-through.
- Coordinate delivery across product, engineering, and research so dependencies are surfaced early and initiatives stay on track.
- Draft and refine communications on behalf of the CPTO, including leadership updates, all-hands content, and clear narratives for different audiences.
- Take on ambiguous, cross-cutting special projects – from operating-model changes to new process design – and drive them to a clear recommendation or outcome.
