• Leverage AI and digital tools to identify process efficiencies, improve regulatory workflow management, enhance analysis, and streamline recurring reporting and documentation activities.
• Prepare presentations, briefing materials, and management updates that distill complex regulatory matters into clear business implications, practical recommendations, and proposed actions.
• Remain current on industry developments, emerging policy trends, and best practices, and apply that knowledge to improve regulatory positioning and support commercial decision-making.
• Travel periodically for regulatory meetings, industry forums, stakeholder engagement, or asset and project support, as needed.
