Role Overview

Are you a builder, a problem-solver, and a force multiplier? Are you tired of the slow lane?

Our CEO has the vision to redefine the education sector. We are moving at lightning speed, breaking molds, and building the future. But a vision without world-class execution is just a dream. We’re looking for a strategic powerhouse to act as the CEO’s right hand, turning ambitious growth plans into reality and ensuring we operate at peak velocity.

Be the Growth Architect :  The CEO's primary partner in exploring and launching new ventures. You will dive deep into market research, model new business lines, and build the strategic case for our next big move.

Master of Execution :  Translate visionary ideas into concrete, actionable project plans. You'll align teams, smash through roadblocks, and drive initiatives across the finish line with relentless speed and precision.

Act as the CEO's Leverage :  Own the CEO's priorities, safeguarding their time and focus. You'll prepare them for high-stakes meetings, manage key communications, and ensure that the groundwork is already laid for action.

Embrace Day to Day Project Operations :  Never fear to co-ordinate leaders of the company in their project management objectively - And excited to look at day to day operations and solve issues

You can think at 30,000 feet (strategy) and then dive down to 3 feet (execution) without missing a beat.

Ambiguity energizes you. You see a blank whiteboard as an opportunity, not a threat.
