Do you dare to be a member of a team that influences the strategies of a global scale-up company, in the early times of your career? Would you enjoy traveling to different countries, getting to know different cultures, working closely with a 24 countrywide global company’s founders and so expand your vision and knowledge beyond limits? Are you a generalist who is excited to touch upon the different strategies from HR to Finance to Growth to Business Intelligence and more parts of a whole? If you believe to uptake this never seen deep, challenging, and enlightening journey, then it is your time to apply.

Here is how a normal day would look like for a CEO’s Executive Office:

Waking up at 6 am, listening to an audiobook while exercising. Running a meeting with Japan in an Uber on the way to the airport, while racing to answer countless WhatsApp messages from investors, influencers, and over 500 Insiders. Going straight into a Board Meeting and deciding on the next expansion move of Insider together with your investors while planning a dinner in Manhattan with a potential client. Getting back on the plane and spending the next weeks recapping all the inputs and coordinating projects that will impact each and every department and member of the Insider community. Hopping airports, changing the rules of the game, and moving a tech scale-up company to the top of its league... Again and again. Welcome to the CEO’s Executive Office. 

As part of the CEO’s Executive Office, you will have a unique opportunity to understand and participate in the backstage of a globally successful scale-up, solving unique challenges, getting involved in investment, acquisition, operational, and legal processes. While you help Insider grow, you will be also in the spotlight shaping Insider’s destiny through research, observation, and iteration. You will breathe in strategy and breathe out the execution. You’ll work closely with co-founders, shareholders, and department heads on impactful projects.

The CEO’s Executive Office plays a hybrid role in different contexts where they constantly maintain what we have built, explore new ideas, remain relentlessly proactive, and hungry for growth.
