Success in This Role

Success requires a builder and a doer. This person should be equally comfortable helping shape an approach, creating structure where it may not yet exist, navigating complexity and driving work through execution. The role requires strong business judgment, curiosity and agility, along with the ability to connect the dots across initiatives, stakeholders and competing priorities. This person brings clarity and momentum to complex work, builds trusted relationships and stays focused on delivering meaningful business outcomes.
