Role Overview
The Senior Analyst, Office of the CEO is the analytical engine of the executive office. You will take questions from the CEO and the executive leadership team, find the data required to answer them, reconcile it across inconsistent sources, form a defensible point of view on what it means, and deliver that answer in a form leadership can act on immediately.
This is not a reporting role. Producing the number is the entry price. The value is in telling us what the number means, where it disagrees with another number, and what you would do about it. You will be expected to take positions, defend them, and be clear about where your confidence is low.
Beyond analysis, you will manage discrete initiatives that matter to the CEO but do not warrant a dedicated program manager, and you will share responsibility for the operational continuity of the executive office.
This is a high-visibility, high-trust seat with unusual exposure for the level. You will work directly with the CEO, CFO, COO, and CIO, and with the board, and you will see financial, acquisition, and strategic material before most of the organization does. For the right person, this is a launching pad into finance, corporate development, operations leadership, or a chief of staff track.
