- Shape Future Organization Strategy: Develop the future organization strategy, including headcount and skills roadmaps, org design scenarios, and the sequencing needed to scale the business.
- Partner Cross-Functionally: Serve as a key connector across Finance, Sales, Delivery, and BizOps to ensure planning assumptions and the operating model reflect real business priorities.
