• Proactively engage stakeholders, influence decision-making, and encourage teams to consider new approaches and ways of working.
• Help identify potential change impacts, communication needs, and opportunities to improve stakeholder adoption and engagement.
• Maintain organized communication plans, timelines, deliverables, and follow-up activities to ensure key milestones are met.
• Support alignment across global teams and stakeholders, including colleagues in the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
