About Cvetkovic & Partners

Cvetkovic & Partners is a boutique executive advisory firm working with CEOs, Executive Committees and senior leadership teams to unlock extraordinary business results through leadership at the top.

We partner with senior executives on CEO effectiveness, executive positioning, top-team alignment, leadership transitions and enterprise leadership.

Our work is highly personalized, intellectually rigorous and grounded in a deep understanding of business, strategy and leadership.

As we continue to grow our international advisory business, we are looking for a commercially minded, creative and entrepreneurial Growth & Strategy Manager to work directly with our Founder & CEO.

The Opportunity

This is a unique opportunity to play an important role in building and growing a premium executive advisory business.

Working closely with the Founder & CEO, you will help translate ideas, expertise and relationships into tangible business opportunities, compelling advisory offerings and high-impact initiatives.

The role sits at the intersection of business development, strategy, advisory product development, thought leadership and executive engagement.

You will also lead a small Business Support Team, coordinating priorities, delegating effectively and ensuring high-quality execution.

We are looking for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and hands-on implementation. Someone who is intellectually curious, commercially astute, creative and comfortable taking ownership in an entrepreneurial environment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Business Development & Strategic Relationships
Identify and research prospective clients, particularly CEOs, CHROs and other senior executive decision-makers.
Develop targeted prospect lists and support highly personalized business development outreach.
Help nurture and activate existing relationships across our international executive network.
Manage and continuously improve our CRM, prospect tracking and follow-up processes.
Support the development of proposals, presentations and business development materials.
Identify opportunities for strategic partnerships, referrals and new channels for business growth.
Help translate our thought leadership, events and executive relationships into meaningful commercial opportunities.

2. Advisory Product Development
Work closely with the Founder to extract, challenge and structure ideas, expertise and intellectual property.
Conduct regular working sessions and interviews to capture insights, methodologies and emerging concepts.
Translate these ideas into clearly articulated advisory offerings, executive development experiences, masterclasses and other products.
Research market needs, competitive offerings and opportunities for differentiation.
Develop compelling positioning, value propositions and supporting materials for new and existing services.
Help bring new offerings from initial concept through development and market introduction.

3. Marketing, Content & Thought Leadership
Collaborate closely with the Founder to identify and develop compelling thought leadership topics.
Interview the Founder to capture original perspectives, insights and experiences.
Develop high-quality LinkedIn posts, newsletters, articles and other content tailored to senior executive audiences.
Repurpose existing intellectual property and content across relevant formats and channels.
Support the development of our website, newsletter and broader digital presence.

Support the strategic development and growth of CEO Loft, our executive engagement platform at Davos.
Help identify and engage potential speakers, strategic partners, sponsors and executive participants.
Support the development of compelling event concepts, executive dialogues and partnership opportunities.
Coordinate outreach, relationship development and follow-up with senior stakeholders.
Collaborate with the Founder and external partners to translate Davos activities into longer-term strategic relationships and business opportunities.
Support selected executive events, roundtables and other high-level engagement initiatives throughout the year.

5. Business Support Team Leadership & Execution

Delegate effectively, provide direction and maintain high standards of execution.
Establish efficient workflows, communication routines and accountability across the team.

About You

We are particularly interested in candidates who bring:
3–7 years of relevant professional experience, ideally in management consulting, premium B2B professional services, executive search, executive education, business development or a similar environment.

• Strong commercial instincts and a genuine interest in how businesses grow.
• Excellent analytical and strategic thinking skills, combined with the ability to translate ideas into action.
• Outstanding written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to communicate credibly with senior executives.
• A talent for turning complex ideas into clear, compelling propositions and content.
• Experience in business development, relationship management, marketing or product development.
• Experience leading, coordinating or delegating work to a small team.
• Confidence using AI tools to accelerate research, content development, analysis and execution.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Intellectual curiosity, creativity, initiative and a high degree of personal ownership.

You do not need to have done everything listed above. What matters most is your ability to learn quickly, think independently and create meaningful business impact.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

Work directly with the Founder. You'll have close exposure to strategic decisions, business development priorities and the creation of new advisory offerings.

Engage with the world of senior executive leadership. Our work involves CEOs, Executive Committees and senior decision-makers across industries and geographies.

Shape, don't just execute. You'll be encouraged to contribute ideas, challenge assumptions and help determine how we grow.

Combine strategy with entrepreneurship. You'll have the opportunity to work across multiple business disciplines rather than being confined to one narrow function.

Take ownership and lead a team. You'll have the responsibility to drive initiatives forward while coordinating a small team to deliver high-quality results.

Contribute to distinctive international initiatives. This includes our CEO Loft platform at Davos and other executive engagement activities.

Location & Working Arrangements

The position can be based in Zurich, Switzerland, with a hybrid working arrangement, or performed fully remotely from anywhere internationally.

Remote candidates must be available for sufficient overlap with European working hours.

Occasional travel to Zurich and participation in our annual Davos event are required.
