Prepare for an adventure. This is not a normal job.
The Analyst works closely with the CEO and his Chief of Staff to organize, promote, and implement effective operations and initiatives within the office of the CEO and company-wide. This is a cross-functional role that involves relationship building with execs and other stakeholders in the company, careful attention to detail, supreme organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects at once. The analyst is often the face of the office of the CEO, both internally and externally, and therefore must be responsive, poised, and discreet. We are looking for a gritty, driven, and deeply intelligent person who is curious and eager to learn. This is an intense role that will require flexibility and balance. The analyst must be independent motivated and self-sufficient, as there will often be very little direction in this role. We frequently expect the analyst to operate independently from the Chief of Staff and the CEO, particularly in sourcing, creating, and managing his/her own projects.
