• Translate leadership priorities into structured plans with milestones, KPIs, and clear accountability
• Diagnose root causes of operational inefficiencies and implement structural, scalable fixes
• Design and improve workflows using automation, AI (e.g., Notion AI), and internal systems

• Improve operational governance and reduce leadership bandwidth spent on coordination
• Drive adoption of tools such as Asana, Notion, and workflow systems to improve execution discipline
• Act as a force multiplier for the COO increasing clarity, speed, and accountability across teams
• Success in This Role Looks Like
