About Replit

Replit is an innovative software creation platform harnessing natural language to empower millions worldwide to develop applications. By eliminating traditional obstacles, Replit is democratizing software development.

Position Overview

This unique opportunity involves working directly with Replit's CEO and executive team during a pivotal period of growth and transformation in software development. You will act as an extension of the CEO, managing complex cross-departmental challenges, leading critical decisions, and ensuring leadership functions with efficiency and clarity.

Role Expectations

• Serve as a trusted counselor to the CEO and executive leadership—providing insights, preparing them for major decisions, and stepping in when needed.
• Anticipate and resolve issues proactively before escalating to the CEO, identifying blind spots and closing gaps.
• Manage the CEO's network to speed up market entry, including leveraging expertise in international regions such as MENA.
• Take direct responsibility for decisions spanning Product, Engineering, Finance, and Go-To-Market teams, detecting risks or disagreements early and aligning teams despite structural complexities.
• Create integrated perspectives on product economics, market trends, and business performance that transcend individual departments.
• Utilize AI, automation, and intelligent workflows to magnify your effectiveness—conducting analysis, synthesizing data, modeling scenarios, aggregating status updates, and monitoring operations.
• Lead the CEO’s key cross-functional projects—from evaluating competitive positioning and pricing strategies to strategic planning and product economics—through all phases.

Role Clarifications

This role does not cover growth experiments, quarterly or financial reporting, or dashboard management, which are handled by other specialized teams. It is a high-impact individual contributor position that scales through AI and automation, without growing a team.

• Proven ability to create structure in ambiguity and drive decisions without direct authority.
• Respected across technical, financial, and commercial domains, trusted for sound technical judgment and business insight.
• Strong quantitative skills, including economic modeling, data analysis, and discerning meaningful signals from noise.
• Effective and straightforward communicator who can deliver executive-ready recommendations without excessive caveats.
• Thrives working independently in uncertain environments as a high-impact individual contributor rather than managing others.
• Experience with technology ecosystems or business networks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), or demonstrated success supporting international market expansions and partnerships.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on use of AI tools, automation, or agent workflows that enhance analytical and operational speed.
• Background in developer tools, infrastructure, or AI/ML-focused product environments.
• History of influencing executive decisions in organizations with revenues exceeding $50M ARR.
• Preference for clarity and momentum over unnecessary procedural complexity.
