Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent, and leadership are essential to success in this role.

Key job responsibilities

• You will work with cross-functional stakeholders, senior and executive leaders, and external partners across multiple countries and regions to drive complex projects and key strategic initiatives that are business critical.

• You will lead quarterly planning and hold all stakeholders accountable to a high throughput by developing weekly flashes, quarterly business reviews, and other accountability mechanisms.

• You will structure and develop implementation plans, and you will work with internal/external partners to pilot and test new solutions to roll-out across the broader organization at country, regional, or cross-regional level.

• You will prioritize projects and feature sets, and you will evaluate and set stakeholder expectations across multiple functions and regions.

• You will define, own, and drive program workstreams that reduce manual work of core team members.

• You will influence organization-wide strategy and outcomes across our global insurance programs in Last Mile Delivery and Technology, and you will work with senior and executive leadership to influence and execute solutions.
