About The Position

Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation. About the Role This is a rare opportunity to work directly with Replit's CEO and executive team as the company scales through one of the most consequential shifts in software development. You'll act as a force multiplier for the CEO — owning the hardest cross-functional problems, driving the highest-stakes decisions, and ensuring leadership operates with clarity and speed. This is a high-leverage IC role, not a team-building role. You use AI, automation, and sharp judgment to scale yourself — not headcount. You're the person the CEO turns to when something is complex, cross-functional, and needs a single owner.

Requirements

7+ years in strategy, operations, or an analytical hybrid role at a high-growth tech company, with real time working alongside Product and Engineering
You build structure where none exists and drive decisions without formal authority
Credible across domains: Eng trusts your technical judgment, Finance and GTM trust your business rigor
Strong quantitative chops — economic models, data interrogation, signal vs. noise
Clear, direct communicator — executive-ready recommendations, not decks full of caveats
Thrives independently in ambiguity — high-impact IC, not a management track
Familiarity with technology ecosystems or business networks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), or experience supporting international market expansion and strategic partnerships.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with AI tools, agents, or automation to increase analytical and operational velocity — we'd love to hear specifics
Background in developer tools, infrastructure, or AI/ML product companies
Track record influencing executive decisions at $50M+ ARR companies
Values clarity and momentum over process for process's sake

Responsibilities

Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and exec team — elevate insights, prep leadership for key decisions, and when needed serve as a stand-in
Proactively resolve problems before they reach the CEO — you see around corners and close gaps
Coordinate the CEOs network to accelerate go-to-market including in international markets like MENA where there is existing regional expertise and existing strong relationships
DRI decisions that span Product, Eng, Finance, and GTM — surface risks and disagreements early, drive alignment where org structure creates friction
Develop integrated views of product economics, market dynamics, and business performance that no single function owns
Use AI, automation, and agent workflows to scale your impact: analysis synthesis, scenario modeling, status aggregation, operational monitoring
Support the CEO's most important cross-functional initiatives — competitive positioning, pricing strategy, product economics, strategic planning — from scoping through decision
