About the Role 

The Analyst role in the CEO Office is a force multiplier for the executive team of Avathon, a fast-scaling, native Physical AI company. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology, you will be the connective link that keeps critical initiatives on track, surfaces ground-level intelligence to the Chief of Staff, and systematically removes the friction that slows high-performing teams down. This is not a traditional analyst role requiring analysis and slides. You will work with a high degree of autonomy, influence, and a mandate to build - deploying automation, AI-driven workflows, and structured operating rhythms that free the team to focus on what matters most.

Responsibilities: 

Initiative Tracking & Visibility

• Own the single source of truth for all critical projects and strategic initiatives across the CEO Office.
• Design and maintain real-time dashboards and status reports that give the Chief of Staff ground-level visibility including early signals of risk and blockers.
• Run a disciplined cadence of follow-ups, and escalations to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
• Translate ambiguous priorities into structured workstreams with clear owners, milestones, and measurable outcomes.

Strategic Facilitation & Implementation

• Bridge the gap between strategic decisions and on-the-ground execution - turning direction into action plans that teams can actually execute.
• Prepare pre-read materials, briefing notes, and decision memos for executive meetings; capture and track outcomes.
• Support the Chief of Staff in facilitating the implementation of strategic priorities across functions.
• Manage cross-functional dependencies and work with the CEO office of other tracks in Product Engineering, Forward Deploy AI Engineering, Sales & Marketing

Operational Excellence & Process Optimisation

• Identify, diagnose, and fix operational bottlenecks that slow teams down - from meeting structures to approval loops to reporting overhead.
• Introduce and embed best practices across teams, creating sustainable, repeatable processes that are sustainable.
• Map and redesign workflows end-to-end, with a bias toward elimination before automation.
• Deploy AI-driven solutions and Gen AI automation tools (no-code/low-code platforms, workflow orchestrators) to streamline repetitive work and surface insights faster.
• Free up bandwidth for the executive team by proactively absorbing coordination, synthesis, and follow-through work.

Stakeholder Management & Influence

• Build trusted relationships across all levels of the organisation - from engineers and product managers to senior leaders.
• Drive alignment and buy-in for operational changes without relying on formal authority; lead through credibility, clarity, and consistency.
• Navigate ambiguity and competing priorities with maturity, keeping stakeholders informed and engaged.
• Represent the Chief of Staff in cross-functional forums and acting as a proxy where needed.

Data, Reporting & Insight

• Build and maintain dashboards and scorecards that track results, business-critical process & outcome KPIs, hiring plans, initiative health, and operational metrics.
• Synthesise data from multiple sources into crisp executive-ready narratives that carries insight-driven stories with clear recommendations.
• Use AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, and reporting cycles.

Required Experience 

Must-Have

• 3-6 years of experience in Chief of Staff office / COO office, business operations, or a high-growth startup environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously without losing detail or momentum.
• Proficient in building dashboards, trackers, and reports using tools like Claude, Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, Excel, or BI platforms.
• Strong written and verbal communication - able to distil complexity into clear, concise language for senior audiences.
• Hands-on experience deploying automation or AI tools to solve real operational problems (not just theoretical familiarity).
• High personal accountability of owning outcomes (not just tasks).
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure (sometimes from the scratch).

Competencies: 

• Results Orientation: Turns messy workflows into predictable, measurable outcomes
• Systems Thinking: Sees root causes, not symptoms; designs for scale not just today
• Executive Presence: Communicates with clarity and confidence at any level
