Manage and deliver high-impact, cross-functional projects by coordinating teams and solving ambiguous business problems in a maritime sensing equipment company.
Обязанности
- builds maritime coverage by placing sensing equipment aboard commercial ships worldwide, and we are scaling fast. The Strategic Projects Lead is our high-output generalist — a Swiss Army knife who reports to the founding team and unit leaders and moves dynamically between sales, operations, and growth depending on where the business needs leverage most.
- You will take highly ambiguous problems and turn them into delivered outcomes, acting as the quarterback across teams — recruiting, installs, logistics, commercial, and product. In practice the role blends an operations manager, a product manager, and a client-facing engagement manager, and it is built for an elite operator who can go from a blank page to a high-quality answer, then make it real.
- Own ambiguous, high-stakes problems end to end. Take a loosely defined question from the founders or a unit leader, structure it, get to the answer, and drive it to a result, not a deck that sits on a shelf.
- Quarterback across teams. Coordinate operations, commercial, and product to land projects that no single team owns, keeping everyone aligned and unblocking whatever stalls.
- Produce technical and financial outputs at a high quality bar. Build the unit-economics models, business cases, operational analyses, and data-backed recommendations that decisions get made on — rigorous enough to withstand scrutiny from the founders, the board, and investors.
- Move where the business needs you. One month that might be standing up recruiting in a new market; the next, fixing an operational bottleneck or running a commercial pilot with a shipping customer.
- Turn one-off projects into repeatable processes. When a project proves out, hand it off with the playbook, tooling, and metrics a permanent team can run without you.
Требования
- 2–4 years at a top-tier management consulting firm (MBB or equivalent), with a track record of top performance.
- Startup experience at a high growth/scaling company preferred.
- High-quality technical and financial output. You can build a clean financial model and a credible quantitative or operational analysis yourself, and you hold a high bar on rigor and polish.
- Comfort with ambiguity and ownership. You do your best work with a vague prompt and no template, and you measure yourself on outcomes shipped, not slides produced.
- Cross-functional range. Credible and effective across sales, operations, and growth — able to earn the trust of specialists in each without being one.
- Bias to action and high output. You move fast, sweat the details, and get things over the line in a startup that is scaling quickly.
- Strong communication. You can brief the founders, align a cross-team group, and speak credibly to an external customer.
Будет плюсом
- Exposure to maritime, logistics, hardware, supply chain, or another operationally complex, physical-world business.
- Hands-on data skills (SQL, Python, or strong spreadsheet/BI work) to pull your own answers rather than wait on others.
- Early-stage startup or founding-team experience.
- Ability to travel 50%
Другое
- Growth: model the economics of entering a new region, then run the pilot that proves (or kills) it.
- Operations: diagnose why it takes too long to get equipment installed and live, and design the fix across logistics and field teams.
- Sales / commercial: build the business case and pitch for a large shipping-company customer, then help run the engagement to close.
- Finance / strategy: build the cost-per-unit-of-coverage model that leadership uses to prioritize where to grow next, and the analysis behind a board or fundraising update.
