•    Establish operational governance rhythms (e.g., forecast reviews, utilization tracking, business reviews)
•    Lead cross-functional alignment to close process gaps and drive durable solutions – not just recommendations
•    Drive change management and enablement for new processes, tools, and operational initiatives
•    Continuously improve customer and internal experience by reducing friction in services engagement and delivery
