What you Will Do
 
Executive Partner 
 
  • Bandwidth and Leadership Multiplier: Act as a force multiplier to the CRO and his direct reports via digest of inbound priorities that need discussion, driving the CRO’s management focus areas with his direct reports, and tracking follow-ups to ensure conversations are surfacing the most critical agenda items.  
  • Master Project Manager: Own the design and execution of project plans on behalf of the CRO, driving these initiatives to better outcomes than if he were to drive them himself, given the limitations he is faced with due to the volume of demands on his time.

  • Leadership Growth & Development: Partner with CRO to design and evolve forums for leadership growth and development for his direct reports and broader team. Contribute to cross-team efforts to build the culture of the Publishing Division.
  • Organizational Effectiveness Enabler: As we grow, it will be increasingly important to identify opportunities to promote efficiency and effectiveness across our organization, ensure that both our services and teams can scale, and that we are structured to promote maximum value for our business and communities.
  • Cadence and Agenda Optimizer: Coordinate with co-CEOs and other executive team members to methodically develop meeting forums, frameworks, and operational cadences to ensure major corporate beats are kicked off and tracked appropriately.

Communications
  • Impact and Accountability Partner: Support CRO on developing and articulating functional strategy as a vehicle to drive distributed leadership, inspire the organization, and increase ownership and accountability across all levels and teams. 
  • Readiness and Impact Creator: Partner with Office of Co-CEOs, as well as Brand and Corporate Communications team to develop internal and external communications and ensure the CRO is well-prepared for all media relations and speaking opportunities.
