• Stakeholder Management: Navigate complex organizational structures to identify and engage appropriate subject matter experts, decision makers, and process owners.
• Documentation & Evidence Management: Coordinate the collection, validation, and submission of technical documentation, supporting evidence, contractual materials, and third party agreements required for approvals.
• Timeline & Deliverable Management: Establish priorities, track milestones, monitor dependencies, and proactively address risks that may impact critical deadlines.
• Leadership Communication: Prepare clear, concise status updates outlining project progress, outstanding requirements, ownership, next steps, and potential risks. Escalate blockers with recommended solutions.
• Technical Coordination: Facilitate discussions between technical teams and business stakeholders to clarify requirements, resolve outstanding questions, and accelerate approvals.
• Process Improvement: Identify operational inefficiencies, documentation gaps, tooling challenges, and workflow bottlenecks. Recommend improvements to streamline future review and approval processes.
• Knowledge Management: Maintain accurate records of approval scope, decisions, and supporting documentation to enable consistency and efficiency across future initiatives.

• Proven ability to gather, organize, validate, and manage documentation and evidence required for formal approval processes.
• Experience navigating large, matrixed organizations and successfully engaging stakeholders across multiple teams.
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities, dependencies, and compressed timelines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in executive status reporting, risk identification, and blocker escalation.
