Chief Strategy & Operations Officer (CSOO)

Job Description

About the Role

We are entering a new era of strategic growth — one defined by agility, data-driven decision-making, and purposeful leadership. To drive this vision forward, we are seeking an accomplished and forward-thinking Chief Strategy & Operations Officer (CSOO) to lead enterprise-wide strategic planning, operational transformation, and business execution.

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, the CSOO will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team, responsible for translating long-term vision into measurable results. This role requires a dynamic leader who can balance strategic foresight with operational excellence — aligning teams, processes, and performance to accelerate growth and innovation.

You will lead cross-functional business units to design, execute, and optimize strategies that improve productivity, profitability, and scalability. Beyond operational efficiency, the CSOO will be a trusted advisor and thought partner to senior executives — guiding decisions around corporate development, new market expansion, and enterprise transformation.

This is more than a leadership position — it’s an opportunity to shape the blueprint of the organization’s future, empowering teams to execute with precision and purpose.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

• Lead the design and execution of the company’s corporate strategy and operational roadmap, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and market opportunities.

• Partner with the CEO and Board of Directors to drive growth initiatives, including M&A integration, strategic partnerships, and market expansion.

• Oversee company-wide performance management frameworks, OKRs, and strategic KPIs to ensure accountability and measurable progress.

• Champion process transformation and organizational redesign to increase agility, scalability, and efficiency.

• Guide cross-functional collaboration across Finance, Operations, Product, and HR to ensure seamless execution of strategic priorities.

• Lead the Enterprise PMO (Project Management Office) to track, measure, and optimize strategic initiatives and major capital projects.

• Serve as an internal consultant to executive leaders, providing strategic insights, business modeling, and competitive analysis.

• Represent the company externally with stakeholders, investors, and strategic partners to drive trust and brand alignment.

Qualifications: What We’re Looking For

• 15+ years of experience in corporate strategy, operations management, or executive leadership, preferably within large-scale or multinational organizations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, or Engineering; MBA or advanced degree strongly preferred.

• Proven track record of leading enterprise transformation, growth strategy, and cross-functional initiatives.

• Deep understanding of financial modeling, operational metrics, and strategic frameworks.

• Expertise in business optimization, digital transformation, and data analytics.

• Excellent communication and executive presence — capable of influencing at the highest organizational levels.

• Exceptional leadership skills, with experience managing teams of senior directors and cross-departmental functions.

Strategic Support

• Partner closely with the CEO to define and execute strategic growth priorities.

• Advise senior executives on operational improvements, performance metrics, and resource allocation.

• Support organizational transformation through the introduction of scalable processes and emerging technologies.

• Drive alignment between strategy, finance, and execution to ensure consistent enterprise performance.

Working Conditions

• Hybrid or remote flexibility with travel for executive meetings, board sessions, and strategy offsites.

• Fast-paced, dynamic environment that values adaptability, innovation, and strategic collaboration.

• High visibility role interacting with global stakeholders and C-suite executives.

• Access to cutting-edge tools, analytics platforms, and cross-functional support teams.

Essential Job Function

The Chief Strategy & Operations Officer ensures strategic alignment between vision and execution — bridging long-term growth strategy with day-to-day operational excellence. This role drives performance, fosters collaboration, and enables scalable success across the enterprise.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Consulting background with top-tier firms (e.g., McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Deloitte).

• Experience leading digital transformation, AI adoption, or automation initiatives.

• Exposure to M&A strategy, venture growth, or corporate restructuring.

• Experience scaling organizations through hyper-growth or post-acquisition integration.
