Responsibilities

Supports the ACS planning cadence end to end — annual operating plan, long-range plan, quarterly and monthly business reviews — including inputs, templates, decision capture, and follow-through.
Identifies the research, tools, and analysis required to answer the business unit's highest-stakes strategic questions, and structures the analytical approach independently.
Builds and maintains the models that underpin portfolio decisions: revenue and margin forecasts, pipeline and attach analysis, cost and investment cases, pricing and mix trade-offs, and scenario and sensitivity analysis.
Develops recommendations for optimizing business and financial performance, and converts variance into a clear narrative of what moved, why, the corrective action, and the forecast implication.
Leads large, cross-functional planning efforts without direct authority — setting guidelines, objectives, contingency plans, and deliverables, and driving timely delivery to stakeholders.
Consults directly with business unit executives on strategy formulation, risk management, and new growth opportunities across the Workstations portfolio.
Prepares decision-ready executive materials, including QBR and MBR content, leadership briefings, and executive-staff communications developed in partnership with the Chief of Staff Office.
Provides thought leadership by developing new methods, techniques, and criteria for strategy analysis, and raises the analytical standard of the planning function.
Fosters team engagement and organizational health by helping design and run all-hands meetings, leadership offsites, recognition moments, and employee-listening mechanisms such as pulse surveys, and by turning the resulting feedback into recommended actions for the leadership team.
Supports the business unit communications plan in partnership with the Chief of Staff and Communications — drafting and editing all-hands content, organizational announcements, leadership messaging, and internal narratives that translate strategy into language the broader team can act on.
