Summary of the Role M-Files is looking for a high-potential, execution-oriented analyst to serve as a go-to resource within Strategic Operations, supporting key strategic priorities across the company. This role is designed for an early-career professional who thrives in a fast-moving environment and enjoys turning ambiguity into action. You will help translate ideas, questions, threads, and leadership discussions into a structured, organized program-with clear workstreams, owners, meeting cadence, KPIs, baselines, impact estimates, and crisp executive-ready communication. The Strategic Operations Analyst position requires strong judgment, high reliability, and a bias for action-someone who prides themselves on driving execution every day, not just producing analysis. Key Responsibilities Turn ambiguity into a structured program that moves Translate strategic priorities into clear workstreams, owners, timelines, and deliverables-then drive follow-through to completion. Build and maintain lightweight program structure: operating plans, workback schedules, decision logs, action trackers, and weekly priorities. Proactively identify gaps, risks, and dependencies-and push them toward resolution with the right stakeholders. Run the operating cadence (calendar, meetings, coordination) Own the execution rhythm: scheduling, agendas, pre-reads, notes, action items, owners, and deadlines. Ensure meetings are decision-oriented and outcome-driven with explicit owners and deadlines. Maintain alignment between what leadership believes is happening and what is actually happening across teams. Analytics, KPIs, baselines, impact estimates Build and maintain KPI definitions and baseline measurement approaches so progress can be quantified credibly. Perform hands-on analysis in Excel: data cleanup, modeling, scenario analysis, impact estimation, and performance tracking. Create simple measurement systems that make progress visible and highlight where execution is slipping. Reporting and dashboards (to drive action, not bureaucracy) Provide consistent operational visibility: what shipped, what progressed, what's blocked, what needs escalation. Create and maintain dashboards and reporting outputs (Excel / PowerPoint, and BI tools where applicable) that enable fast decision-making. Use reporting as a tool to drive action and accountability, not as the end product. Executive-ready communication (PowerPoint and structured writing) Create high-quality, executive-ready PowerPoint decks: updates, operating reviews, decision memos, and strategic readouts. Write clear, concise summaries that synthesize complex inputs into "what matters / what changed / what we need to do next." Support leadership preparation for key meetings and reviews with briefs, agendas, objectives, and next steps. Outcomes to be achieved (what success looks like) Key strategic priorities consistently move from idea → plan → execution → measurable outcomes. Cross-functional teams are aligned, blockers are escalated early, and commitments are delivered reliably. The operating cadence is disciplined: clear priorities, clear owners, clear next steps, and consistent follow-through. Leadership has dependable visibility into progress and performance because execution is well
