- Organizational Maturity: Implement processes and best practices to strengthen team capabilities, consistency, and efficiency within a rapidly expanding global organization.
- Project Delivery: Monitor and report measurable progress on project milestones, budgets, and timelines.
- Track and communicate performance against key operational KPIs (loss of control events, vulnerability reduction, compliance with OT standards).
- Identify risks and implement corrective actions as needed to maintain momentum and accountability.
- Collaboration: Partner closely with the Director of OT&PA to translate strategic objectives into actionable plans and ensure effective communication across global teams.
- Continuous Improvement: Drive a culture of learning, accountability, and innovation within the OT function.
