About the role
We're looking for a highly organized, proactive, and mission-driven Executive Business Partner (EBP) to support our Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

You'll manage critical administrative workflows while also serving as an operational partner to executive leadership, contributing to initiative tracking, cross-functional alignment, and strategic prioritization. This is not a Chief of Staff position, but you will work closely with one, serving as an essential extension of executive leadership.
The right candidate anticipates needs before they arise, handles sensitive information with discretion, and brings order to complexity in fast-moving environments.
