Customer and Commercial Operations Enablement
- Drive programs that improve the operational backbone supporting customer engagement, order processing, pricing, fulfillment, and post-sales support.
- Ensure technology investments and process improvements are tightly aligned to commercial and operational outcomes, including scalability, compliance, and customer responsiveness.
- Lead cross-functional alignment to evolve how systems and processes support internal users and external customer-facing teams.
Executive Engagement & Communication
- Facilitate workshops, alignment sessions, and executive governance meetings to ensure clarity, ownership, and accountability across initiatives.
- Deliver executive-ready dashboards, reports, and insights to support decision-making and highlight progress against KPIs.
Leadership & Capability Development
- Build and mentor a high-performing team of program managers, portfolio analysts, and transformation leaders.
- Foster a culture of ownership, transparency, continuous improvement, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Serve as a coach and thought partner to leaders and stakeholders across the organization.
