Lead planning and execution of team engagement initiatives, partnering with stakeholders to ensure high participation and meaningful impact.
Support performance and promotion cycles end-to-end, including process coordination, data readiness, calibration preparation, and partnering with managers on feedback, development conversations, and role clarity.
