This role supports the full lifecycle of field alignment activities, including early involvement in restructures, product launches, and deployment planning to ensure solutions are operationally sound, compliant, and scalable. In addition to leading day-to-day alignment operations, this individual is expected to bring a strategic mindset to process improvement, issue resolution, and cross-functional collaboration, helping to evolve the function and increase business impact.
