In this role, you will be a central part of scaling and evolving this team, working with the Global Head of TS Delivery and the management team.
Your Role
Do you enjoy bringing structure to a dynamic environment and turning concepts into action?

This role combines elements of Business Management, Strategy & Operations and Chief of Staff in a fast-growing global business. You will help shape priorities, translate them into an executable portfolio, improve leadership decision-making and personally drive selected cross-functional initiatives from ambiguity to outcome. You will also build the management cadence, information and follow-through that enable the Global Head of TS Delivery and leadership team to focus on the highest-value business priorities.
