• Develop, run, and distribute executive-ready status updates, dashboards, decision materials, and progress reports that clearly communicate scope, progress, risks, dependencies, decisions needed, and business value.
• Drive cross-functional alignment across complex stakeholder groups, proactively identifying blockers, managing tradeoffs, resolving issues, and keeping workstreams moving toward agreed outcomes.
• Support disciplined use case intake, prioritization, pilot planning, benefits tracking, and scale / stop decisions to ensure AI opportunities are aligned to Finance priorities and responsible AI expectations.

• Excellent executive communication skills, including the ability to synthesize complex information into concise, data-backed, visually clear narratives for senior leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity, bring structure to complex initiatives, manage competing priorities, and drive results through influence rather than authority.
