Role Overview

This role is an execution-first role focused on delivering outcomes as a foundational piece on a growing digital transformation team. You will be responsible for owning progress (not just coordinating activity) and taking hands-on ownership of initiatives from validation through delivery of projects while bringing energy to execution and applying thoughtful problem-solving to drive meaningful outcomes. (You are not expected to define strategy - but you are expected to ensure work gets done.)

-Own Execution of Approved Initiatives

-Structure Work for Execution

• Ensure work is well-defined, structured, and ready for execution

-Process Improvement & Automation Enablement

• Identify root causes of issues and drive standardization before automation

• Develop and support end-to-end process maps (AS-IS / TO-BE)

• Identify repetitive manual tasks and contribute to automation opportunities

• Ensure solutions focus on simplification and sustainability - not just digitization

-Data-Informed Execution

• Use data (Power BI, Excel, dashboards) to track progress and measure value

• Support cost-benefit analysis and prioritization decisions

• Evaluate tradeoffs based on business value, effort, and impact

-Operate Effectively in Ambiguity

• Propose solutions and move work forward proactively
