• Capture meeting notes, maintain action trackers, and follow up with teams to drive closure.
• Own focused cross-functional projects from definition through completion, including hiring support, vendor evaluation, and process documentation.
• Build and maintain dashboards, spreadsheets, and operating trackers used to run the business.
• Coordinate calendars, travel, and communications when required.
• Conduct first-pass analysis of new opportunities and present clear recommendations rather than raw data.
• Step into urgent gaps across the company and adapt as priorities change.
