  • Train teams on AI-enabled tools and build adoption habits across BD, GTM, content, and events
  • Benchmark the function's use of technology and identify gaps relative to best practice

Reporting and special projects

  • Produce executive-ready performance summaries and ad hoc analysis for CGO and leadership audiences
  • Lead or co-lead special projects assigned by the CGO, ranging from annual planning to organizational design work
  • Identify patterns across Growth function data and surface insights that inform prioritization

Budget stewardship and vendor operations
  • Support budget tracking, vendor invoice management, and financial reconciliation for the Growth function in partnership with the CGO, finance and other Growth function leads
  • Maintain spend tracking and flag variances or risks to budget owners in a timely manner

Qualifications

  • Data-literate: comfortable with dashboards, reporting logic, and performance frameworks
