You will work closely with Policy Planning leadership to support a growing portfolio of policy programs and cross-functional initiatives. Additionally, you will champion AI adoption across the policy org, helping teams integrate AI-native workflows into their operations.

They will demonstrate independent judgment, cross-functional influence, and the ability to drive projects forward independently, proactively identifying risks and escalating decisions as needed.
