You will engage with business unit leaders to gain deep insights into their unique challenges and priorities.
Over the next 12 to 18 months, you will lead the implementation of strategic P&C initiatives that result in measurable improvements in operational accuracy and business partnership. Your success will be defined by the seamless execution of our compensation and performance programs, the evolution of our internal policies and playbooks, and your ability to act as a trusted advisor to the leadership team.
