  • Create an environment where teams can effectively solve challenges and implement creative solutions rapidly
  • Drive cross-functional alignment and execution
  • Measure and communicate impact through tangible business outcomes
  • Develop future leaders across both strategic and technical disciplines

You Have:

  • 12+ years of progressive experience combining strategic consulting or internal strategy and technical / process optimization leadership
  • 7+ years of people management experience leading multiple specialized teams
  • Data-driven yet practical approach to decision-making and problem-solving
  • Demonstrated success driving complex operational initiatives from strategy through execution
