• Support AI/data-enabled strategy and reinvention work by defining use case objectives, workflow fit, required inputs, risks, and human-in-the-loop considerations
• Support proactive commercial strategy / reinvention opportunities and proposals by shaping the client problem, strategic approach, workplan, and value story
• Contribute to thought capital by developing reusable perspectives, frameworks, case examples, and market-facing points of view on priority commercial strategy topics
• Manage up effectively, flag risks early, and support analysts or peers through coaching, feedback, and work product review
