  • Guide project teams to successfully navigate dynamic environments, demonstrating a high level of adaptability and acting autonomously to lean into projects in different ways.
  • Facilitate communication across stakeholders to foster collaboration, understanding, and alignment.
  • On M&A projects:
    • Serve as the central point of contact within the People team to our Corporate Development partners, project managing all People-related work streams and proactively sharing status updates to key deal stakeholders.
    • Project manage all people-related activities associated with diligence and integration related efforts, including culture assessment, org design, talent assessment, people operations, and onboarding.
