Acting as a strategic operator and right hand to GP&E leadership, you will create clarity, improve performance discipline, and ensure high‑priority initiatives progress with focus and accountability.

- Experience implementing operating models or performance frameworks.
- Ability to distill complex problems into clear, concise executive narratives and actionable plans.
- Experience in integration-heavy or transformation environments where cross-functional discipline is essential.
