🌱 About the team

You'll be part of the staff team, reporting directly to our CEO (Alexis) and COO (Laetitia) 🤝. The role sits at the intersection of the CEO office, finance, strategy, investor relations, M&A and business operations — a high-exposure seat close to the company's most important strategic decisions: board discussions, investor communication, capital allocation, performance management and complex strategic projects. 🚀

🌱 About the role

A note before you apply: this isn't a traditional opening with a fixed deadline and pipeline. We're not in a rush to fill it — we're open to meeting exceptional people. ✨ If the right person makes a compelling case, we'll move forward. Please apply if you're genuinely excited about the opportunity, and don't read anything into a slow or absent response — it reflects the exploratory nature of this process, not your profile.

This intentionally broad position is designed for someone who wants to understand how a company is run end-to-end 🔍, from board and investor communication to budgeting, M&A, performance management and operational execution. Over time, it can become a platform for broader leadership responsibilities. 📈

1. CEO office & strategic execution 🧭 — Act as a close partner to the CEO on high-priority topics: prepare strategic memos, decision documents and executive presentations; support CEO-level prioritization and follow-up; help prepare leadership meetings, board meetings and investor updates; coordinate cross-functional projects across finance, sales, product, customer success, legal and operations; translate strategy into clear operating priorities; identify bottlenecks, risks and execution gaps; and support sensitive, confidential initiatives.

2. KPI leadership & business steering 📊 — Strengthen Greenly's KPI architecture: translate the annual budget into operational KPIs; improve business planning and scenario analysis; help define the trajectory across growth, profitability and cash; track key indicators (ARR, bookings, churn, NRR, gross margin, burn, runway, sales efficiency); help leadership understand the financial implications of their decisions; and strengthen budget ownership across teams.

3. Corporate development, M&A & strategic transactions 🤝 — Support Greenly's corporate development agenda in a consolidating market: analyse acquisition, merger and partnership opportunities; build investment cases; prepare valuation and synergy analyses; support due diligence; work with investors, lawyers, bankers and advisors; prepare board materials for transactions; and help design and track post-merger integration and value creation.

4. Investor relations, board communication & governance 💬 — Help prepare board decks, investor updates, financing and lender/banking materials, strategic financial narratives, and performance reviews — communicating Greenly's performance, strategy and trajectory with clarity, rigor and credibility.

5. Performance management & operating discipline ⚙️ — Improve management reporting and CEO/leadership dashboards; track budget vs. actuals; analyse performance by segment, geography, product or team; identify productivity and margin opportunities; clarify KPI ownership; support bonus/incentive calculations; and improve recurring business reviews.
