• Translate SHINE's strategy into a coherent external narrative aligned with the equity story, and track competitive intelligence, sector trends, and public-company benchmarks to inform positioning.
• Support ad hoc strategy projects including the evaluation and execution of strategic transactions - partnerships, licensing, government contracts, and mergers and acquisitions - including financial diligence, valuation, and deal structuring with Legal and external advisors.
• Develop business cases for new market opportunities and capital deployment decisions.
