• Own and drive the execution of transformation initiatives, translating strategic priorities into actionable plans, managing dependencies, proactively resolving challenges, and ensuring measurable outcomes.
• Partner with senior D&T and business leaders to shape transformation priorities, constructively challenge existing approaches, build stakeholder alignment, and drive decisions and implementation.
• Conduct strategic and operational analyses to identify opportunities, evaluate trade-offs, develop recommendations, and support data-driven decisions on organizational effectiveness and transformation priorities.
• Establish effective governance and execution frameworks, including clear milestones, performance indicators, and reporting mechanisms to create transparency, accountability, and alignment.
• Bring structure and clarity to complex or ambiguous challenges, identifying underlying issues, developing practical solutions, and driving cross-functional collaboration to deliver results.
• Develop executive-level recommendations, presentations, and decision materials for senior leadership and governance forums, translating complex information into clear insights and actionable proposals.
• Build trusted relationships across technology, business, and finance, navigating competing priorities and influencing outcomes without formal authority.

• Strong communication and influencing skills, with the confidence to engage, constructively challenge, and build alignment with senior stakeholders across functions and organizational levels.
• A proactive, collaborative, and results-oriented mindset, demonstrating sound judgment, ownership, and discretion when handling sensitive information.
