About The Position

This role provides hands-on strategic, operational, and change management leadership across Legal, Compliance, and Government Affairs functions. Focused on driving execution, optimizing processes, and scaling capacity, this role partners closely with the Senior Director and functional leaders to operationalize priorities into actionable plans and measurable outcomes.

Candidate should be highly organized, solutions-oriented, and comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and evolving business needs while driving cross-functional alignment and results.
