Lead initiatives that improve the effectiveness of key commercial, financial, legal, customer, data, and operational systems, ensuring that processes are clearly defined, measurable, and scalable.
Provide support on select high-priority strategic projects, including M&A-related work, partnerships, transformation programs, and strategy communication or dissemination as needed.

8+ years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, business operations, transformation, commercial operations, or a related function.
Prior experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, strategic operations, or an equivalent high-performance operating environment.
Demonstrated track record leading complex, cross-functional transformation initiatives from strategy through execution.

Experience working directly with senior executives and functional leaders to drive alignment, decisions, and accountability.
Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, including timelines, owners, dependencies, risks, and executive-level reporting.
