About the job

The Strategic Generalist plays a pivotal role in the Department of Special Projects, acting as a CEO-adjacent execution partner. This position is dedicated to translating visionary directives into well-structured, risk-mitigated initiatives. The Strategic Generalist is tasked with managing non-routine, groundbreaking, and ambiguous strategic projects until they are sufficiently developed for a clean transition to core operational teams.

By design, this role is not operational. Its true value lies in creating clarity, establishing sequencing, maintaining governance discipline, and ensuring decision-readiness for initiatives that do not yet conform to existing organizational frameworks.
