  • Strong project management skills to build structure in ambiguous environments and drive cross-functional work to completion.
  • Executive presence and communication skills to present to senior leaders and facilitate workshops.
  • Ability to interpret program feedback and data to build cases for investment and adjust strategies.
  • Background in coaching, executive coaching, or leadership coaching (ICF certification or equivalent is a plus) (preferred).
