Strategic Initiatives Partner

As a Strategic Initiatives Partner, you will be joining the EMEA Chief of Staff team and driving initiatives to support the region’s growth. You will support teams to identify opportunities, and develop strategies to accelerate execution and impact across the region; through facilitating program ideation sessions, structuring elevator pitch and KPI recommendations - all the way through to execution (from 0 to 1).
