About the Role

You’ll be at the center of how Pocket FM thinks, decides, and executes. This role gives you unmatched visibility into the Founder's worldview, the company’s top priorities, and operating DNA of a fast-scaling global business.

This is an opportunity to operate like an entrepreneur inside a rocket-ship : owning decisions end-to-end, moving fast, and shaping the future of a medium that’s still in its earliest innings.

Build and run the company’s operating rhythm - OKRs, business reviews, dashboards, leadership communication, and meeting systems

Run high-impact special projects across global expansion, category creation, efficiency initiatives, automation, investment storytelling, and leadership hiring

Own and drive cross-functional programs that require speed, clarity, and ruthless execution. Remove operational bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and improve cross-company alignment

Ensure the Founder's time, context, and priorities are deployed with maximum leverage by managing information flow, sequencing decisions, and clearing noise

Build and maintain the company’s strategic narrative for internal and external stakeholders - investors, partners, and global teams

Who are we looking for

4 - 6 years of experience in high-performance environments - consulting, top-tier banking, VC / PE, strategy

A structured, first-principles thinker with top-tier strategic and analytical capability

Exceptional at simplifying complexity and driving clarity in ambiguous, high-pressure environments
