  • Collaboration and Project Management: Participate in team meetings and strategy sessions to align activities, contribute insights, and execute project objectives. Present findings to stakeholders and decision-makers.
Travel and Work Environment: This position is classified as hybrid, allowing for potential in-person engagements on a quarterly basis.
