Strategy and AI Lead, CEO Office

About Bolt

Bolt is shaping a future where cities are built for people, not cars. What started as an ambitious project of a 19-year-old in 2013 has grown into a global mobility platform used by more than 200 million customers and 4.5 million driver and courier partners across 50 countries.

From ride-hailing and food delivery to scooters, e-bikes, and car-sharing, Bolt helps people move through cities every day. Small, autonomous teams drive this work, combining the speed and ownership of a startup with the scale of a global technology company backed by more than €1bn in funding.

And we're just getting started.

Why join Bolt?

• Build the future of mobility and help transform how people live and move in cities.
• Tackle challenges at scale that span technology, operations, regulation, and growth.
• Take real ownership early. Small, lean teams mean your decisions matter from day one, and you'll learn fast alongside some of the best people in the industry.
• Join one of Europe's leading technology companies, backed by world-class investors including Sequoia.

About The Role

The CEO \& Founders' Office is a small, high-performing team working directly with Bolt's CEO and Management Team on the company's highest-priority topics. The team leads company-wide strategic planning and business performance reviews, strengthens the operating systems behind them, and supports critical strategic projects and urgent business challenges.

As the Strategy and AI Lead , you will sit at the intersection of strategy, data, and AI - owning high-impact workstreams that translate ambiguous executive questions into clear decisions, scalable frameworks, and measurable outcomes. This is not a traditional analytical or reporting role. You will combine rigorous analytical thinking with strong strategic and commercial judgment, executive-level communication, and an AI-native approach to problem-solving - operating directly with the senior leadership team across Bolt.

You will also play a central role in supporting how the CEO \& Founders' Office uses AI: designing workflows, automating recurring analysis, prototyping tools, and embedding new ways of working across the team.

This role reports to the CEO \& Founders' Chief of Staff. The team is designed as a talent incubator, offering broad company exposure and a potential path into other senior roles across Bolt after approximately two to three years.

Main Tasks And Responsibilities

• Own AI enablement across the CEO Office team: identify automation opportunities, pilot and embed AI tooling, and build AI-first analytical workflows that raise the bar for how the team works.
• Lead complex, cross-functional workstreams across Bolt's highest-priority strategic and operational topics - from initial scoping through analysis, recommendation, and implementation.
• Support strategic and operational frameworks - including goal-setting architectures, KPI systems, and performance management cadences - that connect company priorities to measurable outcomes.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to support data- and automation-focused initiatives
• Build advanced models, dashboards, and decision-support tools using SQL, Python, and BI platforms - and automate recurring processes where possible.
• Produce executive-ready materials and present recommendations confidently to senior stakeholders; challenge assumptions constructively and build alignment without formal authority.

About You

• You have significant experience owning complex, cross-functional workstreams in high-performance environments - top-tier management consulting, Strategy and Operations, strategic finance, advanced analytics, or a leading technology or scale-up company.
• You are a structured problem solver who can navigate genuine ambiguity: diagnose root causes, define the real question rather than just the request, and translate findings into practical plans with clear accountability.
• You communicate with exceptional clarity - in writing, verbally, and visually. You can distill complex analysis into a concise, decision-oriented narrative and adapt your message for technical, operational, and executive audiences alike.
• You are proficient in SQL and Python and use them for analysis, modelling, automation, and AI-assisted development - not just as technical tools, but as core parts of how you think through business problems.
• You use AI as a genuine part of how you work and can demonstrate meaningful business outcomes from shipped workflows, automations, or agents - and you know when rigorous human judgment remains irreplaceable.
• You are commercially minded, technologically curious, and motivated by improving systems and outcomes at scale - in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift, and structure is earned rather than given.

Why you’ll love it here

• Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities.
• Enjoy a rewarding salary and stock options, knowing that as Bolt succeeds, so do you.

*Some perks may differ depending on your location and role.* At Bolt, using AI daily is a baseline expectation for everyone. If there’s a faster, smarter way to do your work, we expect you to find it. You’re still responsible for the output, so the standard stays high when using AI tools.
