## About the role

Owning how a strategy becomes reality. Taking an ambiguous, high-stakes mandate and standing up the program behind it; structuring the work, building the plan, managing internal and external partners, and driving it to a decision leadership can act on and a plan the organization can execute. It is a high-ownership, high-ambiguity role with direct CEO visibility, sitting at the intersection of manufacturing, corporate strategy, and program execution.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years leading cross-functional programs to executive decisions in manufacturing/operations, corporate strategy or BizOps at a hardware company, or management consulting with genuine industrial exposure
- Demonstrated ownership of a complex, ambiguous effort driven from strategy through to an executable plan
- Financial-modeling fluency: breakeven, CapEx, unit economics, and enough M&A literacy (EBITDA multiples) to own and pressure-test a make-vs-buy model
- Executive communication: structured written synthesis and board-quality presentations
- Vendor and consultant management, scoping and holding external partners to budget and deadline
- Comfort operating without a playbook, at startup pace, with direct executive exposure
