• Initiative Communications & Deliverables: Build executive-ready materials, including initiative updates, business cases, decision frameworks, and success reporting.
• Stakeholder & Change Readiness: Partner with change and enablement teams to ensure initiatives are communicated effectively, adopted by the business, and embedded into operating models.
• Governance Participation: Represent initiatives in key governance forums by preparing inputs, tracking status, and coordinating across dependencies or escalation points.
• Customer Journey & Experience Focus: Use insights from customer feedback, CSAT, and adoption trends to inform strategy and transformation priorities. Shape initiatives that improve the end-to-end customer experience.
• Change & Adoption Support: Coordinate with change and enablement leads to ensure initiatives are communicated, adopted, and sustained across global teams.
