- Build clear budget summaries and trackers that make it easy for leaders to understand where we are and what needs a decision
- Own our team culture programs, including planning and running our all-hands from agenda to follow-up




- Create moments that bring a globally distributed team together, and keep them fresh by gathering feedback and trying new things
- Build solid relationships across the whole department. You’ll be a familiar, friendly face to teams in every region and function
- Help people work better together by connecting the right folks, smoothing out friction, and making it easy to collaborate across teams
- Coordinate special projects on behalf of the group and the VP, from kickoff through completion: set timelines, assign owners, track dependencies, and follow up
- Keep projects organized with clear plans, status updates, and documented next steps
- Spot risks and gaps early, select what needs to be escalated and to whom, and raise it with a recommended path forward
- Write concise, well-tailored emails, updates, and presentations for audiences ranging from regional teams to senior leaders
- Prepare materials for business reviews, QBRs, and leadership meetings
- Handle confidential business and financial information with discretion
- Help maintain the team’s operating rhythm: planning calendars, recurring reviews, and process documentation
- Learn and use our finance, planning, and project management tools, and suggest ways to make our processes simpler and faster
