• Build and maintain clean reporting mechanisms that provide ongoing visibility into key initiatives and operational health.
• Ensure executive action items, cross-departmental commitments, and decision logs are systematically tracked and closed out.

• Manual Dexterity: Repetitive motion of wrists, hands and fingers for using a computer.
• Stationary Tasks: Sitting for extended periods, remaining in a stationary position.
