Overview
The role will be working directly with the CMD and is positioned as a high-impact, high-trust mandate focused on strategic execution.
It involves translating the CMD’s vision into actionable plans — driving alignment, speed, and follow-through across business units, key projects, and organizational priorities.
This is not a passive role; you will lead from within — acting as a strategic executor, cross-functional coordinator, and internal enforcer of accountability. You’ll collaborate closely with CXOs, Business Heads, and the Head of Strategy.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Strategic Execution & Alignment
• Translate CMD's vision and goals into actionable plans with owners and timelines
• Maintain a live dashboard of CMD’s top priorities across all functions
• Ensure follow-through on CMD’s decisions — chase, align, unblock where needed
• Track cross-functional projects; pre-empt risks, delays, and friction
2. Leadership Coordination
• Shadow key CMD meetings with leadership and external stakeholders
• Ensure actionable are captured and acted upon
• Build bridges between functions — Sales, Ops, Finance, HR, Strategy — to maintain momentum
• Collaborate with the Head of Strategy to turn plans into delivery
3. CMD Leverage & Issue Surfacing
• Act as CMD’s point person for escalation, updates, and confidential diagnostics
• Provide early warning signals around execution gaps, people risks, or cultural issues
• Draft internal updates, strategic notes, and presentations on CMD’s behalf
4. Special Projects & Culture Building
• Drive CMD-led initiatives: skip-level forums, leadership reviews, external engagements
• Keep track of internal sentiment and build a trust channel with key leaders and teams
• Support CMD in preparing for reviews, external engagements, and strategic pivots
