Right hand to the CEO of Natuvion — owning the highest-leverage strategic, operational, and entrepreneurial work shaping the company’s next chapter.
Natuvion is the global leader in SAP data and business transformation, now part of NTT DATA. We are scaling internationally (USA, Brazil, Japan, beyond), incubating new ventures around AI-native transformation, and operating at the intersection of enterprise software, AI, and global system integration. The agenda has outgrown a single calendar. We are hiring a partner who can carry workstreams end-to-end, sharpen thinking on complex topics, and act with the CEO’s mandate when speed matters.
You work directly with — and as an extension of — the CEO. No two weeks look the same, but the mix includes:
Strategy & market analysis. Lead deep dives on AI transformation, competitive positioning (Palantir, hyperscalers, the SAP partner ecosystem), market sizing, go-to-market strategies and M&A targets. Translate analysis into decisions.
Corporate Venture building. Help build new ventures around AI-native SAP transformation from a blank page — thesis, business model, hiring plan, go-to-market.
International entity build-out. Drive set-up of Natuvion entities in Brazil and Japan: legal structuring with external advisors, local recruiting, market entry plans, and alignment with NTT DATA.
Board & stakeholder work. Prepare board materials, investor briefings, and NTT alignment documents. Own the narrative quality of what leaves the office.
CEO operations. Filter, prioritize, and quarterback the CEO agenda. Run point on the topics no one else owns yet.
Special strategic projects. Whatever the next critical thing is. You pick it up and run.
Minimum requirements
3–7 years at a top-tier strategy consultancy (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) or equivalent (top-tier PE, VC/growth operations, IB into an operating role).
Undergraduate or graduate degree from a top-tier university, ranking within the top 20% of your graduating class. Technical or quantitative background — engineering, computer science, hard sciences — or a renowned business school is strongly preferred.
Proven ability to incubate and implement innovation strategies — you have taken ownership for something from a blank page to a working business, product, or function, not just advised on it.
English at native or near-native level. You speak and write tight, persuasive English — board memos, investor decks, CEO correspondence
Strategic horsepower paired with operating instinct. You can size a market in the morning and unblock a hiring process in the afternoon.
Entrepreneurial, agentic, low-ego. You do not wait for direction. You ship work and ask for feedback. You would rather over-own than under-own.
Comfort with ambiguity, intensity, and international travel.
Preferred qualifications
PhD or MBA
Experience living or working in the US and/or Japan, with cultural fluency to navigate US/Japanese stakeholders and the NTT DATA group context.
German language skills (the company operates DACH-wide; much internal communication is bilingual).
Familiarity with enterprise software, the SAP ecosystem, AI/ML, or the system integrator landscape.
