    Cross-functional Coordination: Partner with global and regional Employee Experience teams, IT, Legal, Finance, and other collaborators to align on goals, timelines, and deliverables-ensuring smooth execution across geographies.

    Change & Enablement Support: Help build and coordinate change, communication, and training plans that enable adoption of new services, processes, and tools. Support learning strategies that build new capabilities and ways of working (including AI fluency).

    Continuous Improvement & Insights: Collect feedback, synthesize insights, and help teams translate data into actions-improving program delivery, stakeholder experience, and measurable outcomes.

    Program Storytelling: Create crisp, executive-ready updates that simplify complexity, communicate progress, and highlight key decisions needed to keep initiatives on track.
