- Comfortable influencing senior leaders and holding stakeholders to account

- Strong PowerPoint skills, with the ability to create professional decks and continue building AI-enabled efficiencies.
- Experience using AI and LLM tools, integrating them into standard workflows, and building AI-enabled processes around the latest technologies.
Responsibilities
- Act as a trusted extension of the CEO, reinforcing expectations, standards, and strategic focus
- Strategically manage a complex global diary across multiple time zones, balancing internal, external, Board and leadership priorities.
- Support the CEO in driving alignment, accountability, and delivery across the Global Leadership Team (GLT)
- Partner with the CEO to design and manage the cadence of GLT meetings, including agenda setting, prioritization, and pre-reads
- Ensure strategic priorities are clearly articulated, tracked, and regularly reviewed, including key milestones and owners
- Monitor progress against agreed objectives and proactively flag risks, delays, or interdependencies
- Follow up with GLT members to ensure actions are delivered on time and to the required standard
- Support preparation for key leadership offsites, strategy sessions, and planning cycles
- Facilitate alignment across functions by identifying overlaps, gaps, and opportunities for cross-functional collaboration
