Associate, Executive Leadership Programs

Summary

Metis Strategy is a management and strategy consulting firm focused on the intersection of business and technology. The Associate will support executive networks, the Technology Leadership Institute, and the Metis Strategy Summit through research, content development, participant engagement, program execution, and portfolio growth.

Responsibilities

• Conduct bespoke research for executives on topics they are actively working on, translating findings into concise, practical materials for a senior audience
• Facilitate connections across the Metis Strategy ecosystem by identifying members with complementary challenges, relevant experience, or shared priorities
• Build familiarity with members and participants over time, track their priorities and interests, and help identify opportunities for relevant content, connections, and engagement
• Review and synthesize notes, recordings, and materials from executive network meetings, leadership trainings, conferences, and other executive interactions into clear themes, questions, and insights
• Develop and organize materials for executive network meetings, including discussion guides, research briefs, agendas, and participant materials, working collaboratively with facilitators and program leads
• Draw on the firm's research, consulting engagements, and executive conversations to strengthen program content and participant deliverables, while routing relevant insights from executive settings back to teams across the firm
• Contribute to Summit agenda development, including topic framing, session structure, speaker research, and recommendations about how executives should be grouped
• Draft and coordinate communications across the Summit cycle, from speaker outreach to attendee correspondence
• Develop session content, participant materials, and pre-work for the Technology Leadership Institute, our training program serving CIO direct reports, and support ongoing engagement with participants after the program concludes
• Help plan executive network meetings, including identifying discussion topics, shaping agendas, preparing facilitator materials, and coordinating participant needs
• These programs are meant to get bigger and better, and building them is part of the job. You will research prospective members, participants, speakers, and sponsors; develop materials that support growth conversations; test new program formats; and analyze participation, engagement, and feedback to identify what should change
• Approximately 30–35% of the role is operational, with that share increasing around major events. Responsibilities include speaker logistics, meeting and event preparation, and the creation of sponsorship materials. We expect you to bring rigor to this work while identifying repetitive tasks that can be automated using firm-supported AI tools

• Willingness to learn from, and collaborate with, others to build strong relationships with clients and team members

• Experience with a CRM system and data visualization tools is a plus
