- Safeguard Community Sentiment and Brand Trust - Develop and govern consistent branding, messaging, and scripting for TELUS' fibre co-investment entities in Western markets, ensuring field teams, Community Ambassadors, and partner organizations present a unified and compelling brand presence in every community.
- Proactively Identify and Mitigate Launch Risks - Anticipate and address risks across construction delays, community issues, competitive response, and customer experience gaps before they impact brand reputation or revenue.
- Drive Governance and Continuous Improvement - Support regular governance reporting, ELT updates, and program performance reviews. Establish closed-loop feedback between field teams, community stakeholders, and commercial leaders to continuously refine the Build-to-Market playbook.
