About the role

  • This role sits inside Global Business Development, the team leading that transformation.
  • You'll sit at the center of three pillars:
  • (i) Tech Enablement, (ii) Function Optimization, and (iii) Cross-Departmental Partnership - working across the business to enable the transformation and identify new growth opportunities.

Responsibilities

  • Help shape how a newly built transformation function operates as it scales. Own intake, prioritization, and progress tracking across concurrent workstreams - the Tech Enablement roadmap, Function Optimization pilots, and the Cross-Org Initiatives pipeline.
  • Maintain project plans, timelines, and risk/issue logs, and flag dependencies or blockers before they slow a workstream down.
  • Design and run surveys and structured check-ins to gather input across departments, and turn the results into clear, actionable recommendations.
  • Support change management as new tools and ways of working roll out, including training materials and adoption communications.
  • Strategic Support
  • Help build the business case - KPIs, expected outcomes, and resourcing needs - behind future hiring and investment decisions.
  • Document processes and playbooks that let successful pilots scale into standard practice across the function.
  • Strong data analysis skills - comfortable with data pulls and structuring (Snowflake), cohort-style analysis and dashboards (Tableau), and survey design and automation (Qualtrics).
  • Comfortable building lightweight scripts, workflows, or agents that remove manual steps from recurring processes, and curious about where new AI capabilities can responsibly speed up the team's work.
  • High discretion and independent judgment; able to build trust and influence outcomes across departments without direct authority.

Requirements

  • Our deep expertise across 70 selling categories is supported by a leading technology platform and a global network of specialists spanning 40 countries.
  • 6+ years of experience in consulting, project/program management, or business operations, ideally within a fast-paced, matrixed, or transformation-focused environment.
  • Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Monday.com, Smartsheet, Confluence) and strong PowerPoint/Excel skills for executive-level storytelling.
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent experience is a plus.

Nice to have

  • In addition to base salary successful candidates are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus, as well as a competitive benefits package.

  • Run cohort and pattern analysis supporting segmentation, coverage, and function-optimization work.
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reporting cadences that give leadership ongoing visibility into program health.

Company info
