You Will:

• Partner with leaders and stakeholders to understand business opportunities, challenges, and desired outcomes.

• Lead discovery conversations that uncover root causes, dependencies, stakeholder impacts, and organizational considerations.

• Evaluate opportunities through multiple lenses including people, process, customer experience, service design, and organizational readiness.
