• Take operational work off the CTO’s plate: coordinate vendors, follow up on procurement, support hiring logistics and handle cross‑department requests.
• Drive follow‑through by chasing commitments, surfacing blockers early, escalating with recommendations and closing the loop with stakeholders.
• Employ AI technologies to enhance and optimise business processes.

Required profile

• 3+ years of experience in project/program management, chief‑of‑staff or technology operations supporting a senior technology leader.
• Proven ability to run multi‑workstream programs using a work‑management tool.
• Strong written English, capable of turning messy updates into executive‑ready reports.
• Comfort with budgets, vendor contracts, renewals and procurement workflows.
• Advanced spoken and written English (C1+) and availability during US business hours.

Required skills

• Project‑management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Monday.com)
• Modern agentic AI tools such as Grok Bot or Claude Cowork
• Budget and vendor contract management
• Technical literacy to track IT, security and software work
