Key Responsibilities

1. Founder's Execution Partner

  • Translate Leena's strategic vision into actionable projects, timelines, and outcomes.
  • Own follow-ups, project management, and ensure cross-team alignment.
  • Manage special projects (internal and client-facing) directly from the CEO's office.

2. Team Leadership & Management

  • Manage and mentor a team of consultants working across diverse client projects.
  • Build performance tracking systems, run stand-ups, and ensure client deliverables meet Black Panda's quality benchmarks.
  • Coach the team on decision-making, ownership, and execution rigor.

3. Operations & Systems

  • Design and refine internal processes to make the firm more efficient.
  • Work closely with data, operations, and marketing pods to ensure smooth delivery.
  • Bring in structure across reporting, feedback loops, and knowledge management.

4. Culture & Growth

  • Embody Black Panda's values of resilience, curiosity, radical candour, and big-picture thinking.
  • Foster a high-performance culture with empathy, accountability, and collaboration.

What We're Looking For

  • 2 - 3 of experience in managing teams, operations, strategy, or startup leadership roles.
  • Strong project management and team leadership skills - able to drive multiple priorities simultaneously.
  • Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and decision-making ability.
  • Comfort working in ambiguity and creating clarity for others.
  • Experience in fast-paced consulting/startup environments is a strong plus.

Why Join Black Panda

  • Work directly with the founding team on high-impact, multi-sector projects.
  • Be at the heart of strategy, execution, and people leadership.
  • Shape the growth of a challenger consultancy that is redefining how startups scale globally.
  • Fast career progression, exposure to diverse industries, and the opportunity to grow into senior leadership roles.
