- Work closely with the SVP to capture priorities, decisions, expectations, and actions from meetings and convert them into clear execution plans.
- Ensure decisions are documented, owners are assigned, timelines are clear, and follow-through is actively managed.
- Identify where issues require SVP intervention and where they can be resolved at the team level.
- Establish clear governance for cross-functional workstreams, including agendas, pre-reads, decision logs, action trackers, escalation paths, and status reporting.
- Proactively identify risks, gaps, misalignment, unresolved decisions, and resource constraints.
- Drive resolution quickly by engaging the right stakeholders and escalating with clear options where needed.
- Support the SVP in preparing high-quality materials for senior executive meetings, Board discussions, annual planning, transformation updates, and key decision forums.
- Synthesize complex inputs into clear, concise narratives that are appropriate for executive audiences.
- Ensure materials reflect strategic clarity, commercial logic, enterprise impact, and credible execution plans.
