  • Support development and application of prioritization frameworks to focus on the highest-impact opportunities
  • Provide visibility to leadership on pipeline health, trade-offs, and resource considerations
  • Support transition to execution for approved initiatives, including outlining key implementation considerations and success metrics

  • Advanced financial modeling and analytical capabilities
  • Exceptional executive communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Proven project management skills with ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously
  • Ability to influence without authority in a highly cross-functional environment
  • Strong business judgment and attention to detail

Experience:
