• Using a business-outcome driven approach, track our organization's investments and align investments to our biggest opportunities.
• Act as an operational shield to the Chief Platform Officer, enabling them to focus on strategy, by offloading tactical operations with a no job too big nor too small attitude.

• This role does not initially include people manager responsibilities.
• Requires sitting or standing at will while performing work on a computer (or any other physical requirements). The role requires communication with managers, peers, and other colleagues of the company by using Microsoft Teams chat, calling, and meeting functions.
