The Associate Director, Strategic Initiatives supports the Strategic Initiatives Leader in advancing NVTI's highest-priority programs, serving as a trusted thought partner and execution backbone across a portfolio that spans product governance, strategic external partnerships, and firm-level cross-functional initiatives.
