• You are accountable for how work gets done across the company. That spans three connected areas: Process design and improvement. • You will map how work currently happens across every team, identify where it is slow, broken, or duplicated, and redesign it. • You will oversee their automation — eliminating manual effort, connecting disconnected tools, and building the integrations that make work happen without people having to chase it. • You will ensure that every team's data flows into a single, reliable source of truth, and that leadership has real-time visibility into company performance through dashboards and automated reporting. • You will own the human side of every improvement — the training, the communications, the rollout planning, and the tracking of whether new ways of working have genuinely embedded. • You will work with leadership for the evaluation and implementation of major business systems across the company, including the CRM, inventory management, and digital asset management platforms we are currently in the process of selecting.
