    Ensure seamless, effective, and service oriented processes for collaboration cross-functionally.

    Collaborate closely with Corporate Engagement and Partnerships, Data and Tech, Growth and Innovation, the regional departments and others as needed to achieve integrated Standards & Frameworks and Thriving Landscape offerings and support account management.

    Ensure organization wide learning on the programmatic expertise areas is effective.

    The position holder will be expected to cultivate teamwork and support the team in driving impact.

    By defining clear priorities and enabling creative viable solutions to complex problems through robust yet flexible decision-making processes, the position holder will contribute to a data-driven and conscientious culture.
