About the role
The executive business partner supports the leadership team with the operating rhythm that keeps a portfolio of ventures moving: the agenda, the decision log, the quarterly plan, the follow-up on commitments and the preparation for board meetings. You will sit close to the CEO's office and make sure the decisions that matter reach the right people, in the right form, on time.
Clexerl has four divisions and a shared engineering bench, which means decisions often cross boundaries. A resourcing question in Frontier AI can affect the schedule of Clexerl Go, and a security finding can change a launch date in Autonomy & Sensing. This role keeps track of those connections, so the leadership team sees the whole portfolio and not only the part in front of it.
The job is discreet, precise and written down. Decisions are logged with their owners and dates, and anything that slips is raised early.
What you’ll do
- Prepare the leadership team's agendas, pre-reads and decision papers, so that meetings start with the real question.
- Maintain the decision log and action tracker, following up on commitments and escalating those that are at risk.
- Coordinate the quarterly planning cycle across divisions, bringing priorities, headcount and budget into one view.
- Prepare materials for board meetings and investor updates, checking that the numbers agree across every document.
- Act as a single point of contact for cross-divisional issues, routing each one to the right owner with the context they need.
- Run executive offsites and leadership reviews, including logistics, facilitation notes and follow-up summaries.
- Spot dependencies between ventures early, such as shared engineering capacity or security reviews, and raise them before they block.
What you’ll bring
- Experience supporting a chief executive, chief of staff or a senior leadership team in a multi-business company.
- Excellent written English, with the ability to turn a complicated discussion into a short, accurate decision paper.
- Strong organisational skills, with a habit of tracking commitments to closure across many workstreams.
- Discretion with sensitive information, including personnel matters, financial results and unannounced plans.
- Comfort with spreadsheets and presentation tools, and an eye for numbers that do not reconcile.
- The confidence to challenge a plan's logic politely, and to say so in writing when it matters.
Nice to have
- Experience in a technology company with several business units, or in a holding company or conglomerate structure.
- Background in management consulting, strategy or operations, with work on portfolio or capital allocation decisions.
- Experience running board preparation for a private company, including investor reporting.
- Familiarity with OKR or similar goal-setting frameworks and how to run a quarterly review.
