• Support investor, board, and external communications including decks, analyses, and prep
• Act as an execution arm for founders and leaders, translating priorities into outcomes

• Exceptional written and verbal communication
• Strong analytical and strategic instincts with a bias toward action
• International operations or cross-border project experience
