• Strategic Initiative Oversight: Spearhead the execution of strategic and cross-functional projects, coordinating efforts across teams to align with organizational objectives.
• Communication Bridge: Act as a central point of coordination between the OLC and internal stakeholders, preparing communications and materials that support clarity, alignment, and effective decision-making.
• Operational Model Development: Partner with the OLC to create and communicate a cohesive operational model, amplifying their strategic impact and outreach.
