• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain complex or sensitive information clearly, tailor messages to the audience, and create alignment when stakeholders may not start in the same place.

• Stay steady in difficult conversations and bring calm, structure, and sound judgment to situations involving urgency, emotion, competing priorities, or strong opinions.
• Lead and support core people processes within Revenue, including performance management, talent reviews, compensation cycles, promotions, employee development, engagement planning, and organizational changes.
