Your Role

As a strategic partner to the Head of Commercial Excellence, you'll own two core areas. First, you'll build and operationalize our Customer Experience governance framework across Advanced Solutions—designing consistent measurement and insights across five franchises. Second, you'll be the executive's right hand, translating Commercial Excellence priorities into action by coordinating across teams, representing capabilities to leadership, and keeping stakeholders aligned.
