- A proven track record of leading complex initiatives across multiple stakeholders and workstreams
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to build credibility with senior leaders and subject matter experts in matrixed environments

- Act as a connective layer across the Risk business to align priorities, timelines, handoffs, and execution expectations
- Partner effectively with Product, Proposition, Data, Sales, Marketing, Legal, Customer Service, Communities, Operations, and other teams to surface and manage dependencies early
- Bring clarity and structure to high-visibility initiatives involving senior stakeholders and competing priorities
- Prepare concise, executive-ready updates that clearly communicate progress, risks, decisions, and next steps
- Support go-to-market planning and launch coordination to ensure key initiatives are commercially, operationally, and internally ready before launch
- Track launch-related risks and dependencies, escalating issues early and supporting cross-functional resolution
- Build and program-manage a competitor intelligence program for the Risk team, including operating rhythms, insight capture, and stakeholder outputs
- Improve processes, governance, planning cycles, and ways of working to support scale, growth, and stronger execution discipline
