Reports into the Director of Enterprise Transformation.

The Transformation team is modeled after top‑tier management consultancies. Team members work on fast‑paced and high‑visibility projects aligned with the enterprise’s most important Transformation topics.

Work assignments require a combination of strategic thinking, quantitative analysis, workstream management, cross‑team collaboration, and storytelling. Team members can align with one of the enterprise’s lines of business, supporting functions, or key Transformation capabilities to become a trusted thought partner for the Transformation agenda.
