• Contribute to ad hoc strategic projects related to expansion, partnerships, or organizational needs
What you'll bring

• Experience managing strategic initiatives, PMO-style work, or executive-level projects
• Strong analytical skills with experience tracking KPIs and managing performance reporting
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence without direct authority
