• Prepare executive‑level reports and presentations summarizing insights and recommendations.
• Track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to business development initiatives.
• Operate with a high degree of ownership in ambiguous situations, often working with incomplete information and tight timelines.

• Experience creating presentations and summaries for senior leadership.
