About The Position
Neat is looking for a high-impact, autonomous Strategic Planning & Programs Lead to join the Office of the CEO. In this role, you will be an integral part of driving our internal rhythm of business. You will support the Chief of Staff in translating executive vision into actionable roadmaps, ensuring Neat scales effectively across global markets. You are part of the "connective tissue" of the company. You will work across every department to ensure visibility, alignment, and momentum.

Requirements
- 5–7 Years of Experience: A proven track record in Strategic Operations, Program Management, or Management Consulting.
- The Ability to Synthesize: You can take a 60-minute technical deep dive and turn it into a 3-bullet executive summary. You value simply meaningful communication—concise, insightful, and actionable.
- Operational Rigor: You are process-driven and know how to build just enough structure to keep things moving without slowing the team down.
- Strategic Influence: You are comfortable working with C-suite executives and can hold functional leads accountable without having formal authority over them.
- Technical Curiosity: You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be eager to understand the "AI-powered modular architecture" that makes Neat unique.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in a high-growth hardware or deep-tech environment is a significant plus.
Responsibilities
- Strategic Planning and Rhythm: Partner with the CoS to run the company's strategic planning cycles. You will help define key initiatives, track progress against our financial plan, and ensure departmental goals ladder up to our primary mission.
- Program Management Office (PMO): Lead high-priority, cross-functional programs that move the needle for Neat. You will identify bottlenecks before they become blockers and facilitate the "wins" that keep our teams motivated.
- Executive Visibility: Design and maintain the dashboards and reporting structures that give the CEO and Executive Team a "clear view" of the business. You will help leaders share their progress and challenges upwards with clarity and candor.
- Connective Tissue: Act as a neutral, high-trust partner to functional leads. You will ensure that communication flows seamlessly between teams, breaking down silos to ensure we execute as one global unit.
- Financial and Goal Stewardship: Monitor the execution of our financial plan, ensuring resources are allocated to our highest-priority strategic efforts and flagging risks to our growth trajectory.
