- You will operate as an engagement leader where you will lead the day-to-day execution of internal transformation projects, to help internal users match and exceed our constantly increasing client expectations.
- To be successful you must be adept at zooming in to collect data and draw insights from analysis, then zooming out to develop compelling recommendations and ideas.
- Switching from strategic to tactical mode, you should be capable of persuasively communicating your recommendations to other senior team members, and then jumping into the trenches with your team to drive implementation and company-wide adoption. All the while, not forgetting to continually monitor the impact of your solution.
- Your internal engagements will often span from a few weeks to several months

- Scale the business through standardization, continuous improvement and lean practices.
Use a data-driven approach to navigate through ambiguity and solve business-critical problems:

This will serve as a single source of truth for extracting and leveraging that data to drive innovation, challenge status quo thinking and fuel relevant and transformative business strategies.
- Prepare highly impactful periodic reports that provide relevant insights and strategic options to drive decision making
