  • Develop business cases to evaluate the cost, impact and value of new opportunities.
  • Lead and coordinate cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, ensuring strong project management, clear ownership, timely delivery, and continuous optimization.
  • Monitor performance and optimize outcomes, including product KPIs, unit economics, and external partner delivery against SLAs.
  • Act as the central connector across teams and partners, aligning stakeholders (Product, Tech, Data, Growth, Finance, etc.), resolving blockers, and driving execution on complex, high-impact topics in a dynamic environment.
