• Translate operations into systems, turning complex operational needs into clear product and engineering requirements.
• Work directly with operators to understand workflows, edge cases, pain points, and user needs firsthand.
• Drive cross-functional execution with Product, Engineering, Human Data, Recruiting, and Finance from discovery through rollout.
• Measure impact across operational capacity, cycle time, manual effort, reliability, and error reduction.
• Create visibility into priorities, progress, impact, risks, and dependencies across TO initiatives.
