- OLC Meeting Facilitation: Manage the OLC's operating cadence by organizing meetings and offsites, ensuring sessions are focused, well-prepared, and result in clear outcomes and follow-ups.
- Strategic Initiative Oversight: Spearhead the execution of strategic and cross-functional projects, coordinating efforts across teams to align with organizational objectives.
- Communication Bridge: Act as a central point of coordination between the OLC and internal stakeholders, preparing communications and materials that support clarity, alignment, and effective decision-making.
- Operational Model Development: Partner with the OLC to create and communicate a cohesive operational model, amplifying their strategic impact and outreach.
What You'll Bring
- Experience: 5+ years of work experience, with at least 2 years focused on OKRs and operational planning.
- OKR Management: Proven experience in managing corporate OKR processes or their equivalents.
- Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with Private Markets, including understanding of relevant products and customer segments.
- Travel Willingness: Based in the U.S., with the willingness and ability to travel as required for the role.
