• Project Oversight: Maintaining meticulous oversight of all asset recovery workflows and decommissioning projects, utilizing detailed trackers and clear documentation to ensure the team never misses a beat.

• Contracting & Vendor Management: Overseeing daily vendor performance and compliance. Work closely with the Sourcing team to drive contracting efforts, assisting with RFPs and vendor agreements to lock in optimal rates and maximize value recovery.

• AI & Process Automation: Acting as a technologically savvy innovator by utilizing AI tools to create, build, and fully operationalize automated solutions for the team. Automate and simplify complex logistical processes to drive execution speed, reduce manual workloads, and eliminate internal friction.
