  • Monitor and manage operational costs related to AI platforms, including Anthropic Claude and other AI technologies, ensuring cost optimization and governance.
  • Lead cross-functional planning, governance, and executive reporting to support organizational objectives.
  • Drive decision-making by tracking key initiatives, identifying risks, and ensuring timely execution.
  • Foster collaboration across multiple teams while influencing without direct authority.
  • Represent executive leadership in customer and partner discussions when required.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Technology, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in Chief of Staff, Strategy, Business Operations, Technology Operations, or a similar executive support role.

  • Strong executive presence with exceptional verbal, written, and presentation skills.
  • Proven ability to influence and lead cross-functional initiatives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience working with technology organizations and customer-facing leadership teams.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience managing budgets, operational costs, or technology spend is highly preferred.
  • Self-driven individual contributor capable of managing multiple priorities with minimal supervision.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in SaaS, Cloud, AI/ML, or enterprise technology environments.
  • Familiarity with AI platforms such as Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or similar technologies.
  • Background in technology strategy, business operations, or executive leadership support.
