- Own and evolve key operating mechanisms, including executive partner engagements, new title launch tracking, and adoption of key PlayStation initiatives across third-party partners.
- Structure ambiguous problems, form hypotheses, and build clear, data-backed recommendations for senior leadership.
- Create polished, executive-ready presentations, briefings and updates that turn complex information into clear narratives, insights and decisions.
- Analyze data from multiple sources to track program performance, spot trends and risks, and inform priorities.
- Build and maintain dashboards, reporting standards and metrics that give leadership clear visibility into team-wide engagements and progress.
- Support the GAM Rhythm of Business, including account planning, joint business reviews, forecasting and annual planning cycles.
- Represent the GAM team across SIE, working cross-functionally with finance, legal and other internal teams to align on priorities, resolve issues and move partner initiatives forward.

Qualifications: - 5+ years of experience in management consulting, strategy and operations, business operations, program management, or a related field.
- Proven ability to structure complex problems and turn them into clear, actionable recommendations.
- Exceptional executive communication skills, with a high bar for written materials, presentation design and storytelling.
